Apprenticeship Level 6 - Building Services Mechanical

See it differently

You see the world through a unique lens and that’s exactly what we need. We embrace how you see things differently – it’s essential for creating a sustainable future.

Arup is a global consultancy with advisory and technical expertise across more than 150 disciplines. We guide, plan and design the future of the built environment. Globally, each year we recruit hundreds of graduates to help us see things differently and solve the most complex challenges facing our clients, climate and communities.

Our apprenticeships allow you to study for industry-recognised qualifications whilst earning a competitive salary. As an apprentice, you will study with a training provider, such as a university, and combine this experience with real responsibilities in the workplace. Your study pattern could be day or block release, or via distance learning, depending on the course that you enrol on. A dedicated mentor will guide you through your personal and professional development.

Level 6 Degree Apprenticeships have a typical duration of 3– 6 years, during which you will attain both a professional and academic qualification to further your career. Our apprentices are employed on a permanent basis, so you'll continue to progress with Arup once you've completed your course.

As a Mechanical Building Services Engineer you'll work within a team of engineers to design all aspects of building services systems. Sustainability underpins everything we do at Arup and therefore your focus will be on delivering efficient, low energy and low carbon designs. You'll work with renewable and emerging technologies and enjoy the chance to work on projects in a wide range of sectors including education, healthcare, aviation, commercial, and data centres.

At Arup, you will take advantage of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology. BIM enables us to design buildings collaboratively using 3D computer models.

• Production of Building Information Models (BIM)
• Undertaking virtual design reviews
• Preparation of simple engineering calculations
• Contributing to solutions for design challenges
• Taking part in design meetings, site visits, presentations and workshops
• Helping with the administration of projects

Mechanical Building Services Engineers aim to deliver user comfort whilst also ensuring our designs are as efficient and sustainable as possible. Whether you are designing a net zero carbon school/college, or the next super hospital, you will be working within multidisciplinary teams to optimise the competing requirements of a design and shape the buildings of the future. We are constantly looking to develop the way we work and advances is software, computer modelling and virtual reality is rapidly changing the building design process.

• The design of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems including load calculations and equipment sizing
• Completing ventilation, airflow and indoor environmental quality assessments
• Helping to design hot and cold water services and drainage systems
• Coordinating mechanical design requirements within a multidisciplinary team that includes Electrical, Public Health, Structural, Civil, Acoustic, Fire, Building Physics and Sustainability consultants
• Producing technical reports and engineering documentation
• Working with software such as Revit MEP and mechanical modelling tools
• Contributing to performance modelling and energy efficiency studies
• Collaborating with colleagues and external partners to develop your knowledge

We're looking for apprentices who are curious and ready to evolve how they think and work.

To be eligible for an apprenticeship, you must:

• A Levels with a minimum Grade BBB or above including Mathematics and Physical Science (or equivalent) or will have completed a Level 3 Apprenticeship as a Building Services Design Technician.
