Mechanical & Electrical Construction Services

Overview

SGES Offers Mechanical & Electrical Construction Services, Mechanical systems can include elements of infrastructure, plant and machinery, tool and components, heating and ventilation and so on. Electrical systems might include, power supply and distribution, telecommunications, computing instrumentation, control systems and so on.
Clearly there is a great deal of overlap, with many systems including both mechanical and electrical components, hence the term M&E. Combined mechanical and electrical engineering courses are available, with joint accreditation between the Engineering Council, Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
The terms 'M&E' / 'M&E engineer' are often taken to be interchangeable with 'building services'/ 'building services engineer' and M&E engineers will often hold a degree in mechanical, electrical or M&E engineering. Chartered Engineer status can be awarded through the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers.
