At Mitie, we're proud to work in partnership with Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust (CLCH), delivering the engineering and facilities services that help keep vital healthcare environments running safely and efficiently. From community hospitals and health centres to specialist healthcare facilities, our teams play an important role in supporting frontline healthcare professionals to provide outstanding patient care.

As an Apprentice Building Services Engineer, you'll join our CLCH engineering team and learn how to maintain the buildings and systems that healthcare environments depend on every day. Working alongside experienced engineers and technical specialists, you'll gain practical, hands-on experience while developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed for a successful career in building services engineering.

  • Assist with planned preventative maintenance activities, learning how engineers proactively identify issues and maintain critical equipment before faults occur
  • Work alongside qualified engineers to diagnose and resolve reactive maintenance issues, helping to restore services quickly and minimise disruption
  • Gain experience working with building systems including heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), water systems, lighting, power distribution and associated plant equipment
  • Learn how to use digital maintenance systems to log completed work, record asset information and track maintenance schedules
  • Build strong working relationships with colleagues, subcontractors and healthcare staff, delivering excellent customer service in a professional healthcare environment
  • Follow Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality (HSEQ) procedures at all times, ensuring safe working practices and supporting Mitie's commitment to sustainability and operational excellence
  • Take part in regular training, mentoring and development activities designed to support your journey towards becoming a qualified Building Services Engineer

Your training

As part of this role, you'll complete the Level 3 Building Services Engineering Technician Apprenticeship, delivered in partnership with GLP Training.

Your apprenticeship will include:

  • Dedicated support from both Mitie and GLP Training throughout your learning journey
  • Structured workplace development and mentoring from experienced engineers
  • One-to-one reviews, coaching sessions and access to online learning resources
  • Industry-recognised technical training aligned to the Building Services Engineering profession
