The Engineering and Building Services Skills Authority was convened in 2023 by Actuate UK members together with other leading sector bodies, such as BEAMA, CIPHE, TICA-ACAD and the standards organisation MCS, to provide a credible authoritative voice for skills across all engineering and building services. A key priority for EBSSA has been our work under the Engineering Services Super Sector (Engineering Services Installation & Maintenance), which launch in January this year as one of five super-sector groupings operating under the aegis of Working Group 2: Installers (WG2) with support from the Construction Leadership Council.
Andrew Eldred, ECA Chief Operating Officer and Working Group 2 Engineering Services Super Sector lead, said:
“Actuate UK, EBSSA and our member associations have been contributing to development of sector-specific competence frameworks for several years now. We are now well into the delivery and implementation phase, with some engineering disciplines having already issued their frameworks and many others progressing well towards the same end.
Sector Lead Group (SLG10.2) Engineering Services Installation and Maintenance gives us a great focal point, allowing different engineering services organisations to come together, share information and ideas, and support each other towards the goal of raising the bar on competence. ICSG, in turn, provides an opportunity for wider dialogue and support, both across the built environment as a whole and in collaboration with the Building Safety Regulator and other parts of government.”
