Imagine yourself in the most fabulous building in the world. Now take away the lighting, heating and ventilation, the lifts and escalators, acoustics, plumbing, power supply and energy management systems, the security and safety systems. You are left in a cold, dark uninhabitable shell. Building Services Engineers really do “bring buildings to life”.

The past decade has seen the Built Environment and construction sector modernise on the back of advancements in industrialisation across other manufacturing and process sectors. Advances in digitalisation, and government strategy to innovate, have seen the sector transition to hybrid delivery models. Component and volumetric modular construction have fused with traditional construction elements.  

Engineering and the Built Environment influence everyday life from health and environment to social and digital connections.  Engineering roles offer broad opportunities across a spectrum of disciplines, including structural, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Engineering contributes significantly to the national and global economy.  The UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and the many net zero political pledges and initiatives present exciting global opportunities for engineers across all disciplines. 

Project delivery exists across all sectors and disciplines offering a wide range of career pathways. In simple terms it is the concept of bringing together all the elements necessary to deliver a project across its full life cycle. It is reliant on project management expertise and careful management of key work streams.

Renewable energy is energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed. Sunlight and wind, for example, are such sources that are constantly being replenished. Renewable energy sources are plentiful and all around us. Renewables are increasingly cost effective in most countries, and LDNY are experiencing increasing international demand for staff and consultancy services across all levels.

The nuclear industry is a growing sector within UK and global construction as it plays a prominent role in zero carbon power generation at scale. LDNY People have significant experience in international executive operational leadership, staff development and recruitment across all nuclear sector engineering and support service disciplines. It’s a highly regulated sector and skills are transferable.

Sustainability in the Built Environment is gaining significance and is in sharp focus to not only reduce its carbon footprint but also limit the sector’s impact on the environment. As corporations become increasingly responsible and accountable for their own actions, there is a growing need for leadership, management and support resources in this critical area.
