Specialist Building Services Recruitment for the UK
BSV Recruitment is a UK building services recruitment agency covering eight specialisms: mechanical, electrical, BIM, CAD, sustainability, building physics, fire and security. We place permanent and contract engineers, designers and consultants with consultancies, contractors and end clients, and we've recruited building services engineers for 20+ years.
Engineering and Design Specialisms
What does our mechanical engineering recruitment desk cover?
Our mechanical engineering recruitment desk places mechanical design engineers, senior mechanical design engineers, mechanical services engineers, HVAC engineers and MEP engineers. These engineers design heating, ventilation, cooling and public health systems, and we place them with consultancies, M&E contractors and end clients from junior level through to associate and director.
What does our electrical engineering recruitment desk cover?
Our electrical engineering recruitment desk places electrical design engineers at junior, intermediate and senior level, plus electrical engineers and electrical site engineers. Roles cover power, lighting, fire alarm and data systems designed to BS 7671, on projects spanning data centres, healthcare and commercial offices, with consultancies and contractors across the UK.
What does our BIM recruitment desk cover?
Our BIM recruitment desk places BIM technicians, BIM technologists, MEP BIM coordinators, MEP BIM managers, Revit specialists and Revit technicians. These roles build and coordinate the models building services teams design in, so we check Revit skills, clash detection experience and working knowledge of ISO 19650 before we put anyone forward.
What does our CAD recruitment desk cover?
Our CAD recruitment desk places AutoCAD technicians, CAD draughtsmen, CAD technicians and CAD technologists. CAD teams turn engineers' designs into coordinated drawings for mechanical, electrical and public health services. We place them with consultancies and contractors, and CAD experience is a common route into Revit, BIM and electrical design roles.
Performance, Safety and Security Specialisms
What does our sustainability recruitment desk cover?
Our sustainability recruitment desk places sustainability consultants, net zero consultants, energy consultants, energy modellers, environmental consultants and BREEAM assessors. These specialists help clients cut operational carbon, comply with Part L and achieve BREEAM ratings, and we place them with building services consultancies, sustainability practices and developers across the UK.
What does our building physics recruitment desk cover?
Our building physics recruitment desk places building physics engineers, building performance specialists, thermal modellers and acoustic designers. These roles use thermal and energy simulation to test daylight, overheating, energy use and acoustic performance before construction starts, and we place them with consultancies that need TM59 assessments and net zero evidence.
What does our fire engineering recruitment desk cover?
Our fire engineering recruitment desk places fire engineers, fire consultants, fire risk assessors, fire systems designers and CFD fire engineers. Fire strategy work carries more scrutiny since the Building Safety Act 2022 introduced planning and building control gateways for higher-risk buildings, and we place specialists with consultancies, contractors and building owners.
What does our security systems recruitment desk cover?
Our security systems recruitment desk places security systems designers, security systems engineers, security systems technicians, access control specialists and CCTV designers. These roles design and commission intruder detection, access control and CCTV systems for commercial, residential and critical infrastructure projects, and we place them with consultancies, integrators and M&E contractors.
