About RED:
Established in 2004, RED Engineering Design is a market-leading engineering design consultancy with extensive expertise across the built environment and globally renowned specialists in data centre design. RED provides professional engineering services for complex buildings, specialising in MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing), ICT, and sustainability. The company has evolved into a global force while remaining dedicated to shaping intelligent, future-ready built environments. RED empowers global innovations to deliver sustainable, energy-efficient solutions across commercial, residential, and industrial sectors. With a reputation for innovation, sustainability, and technical excellence, RED ensures its experts remain at the forefront of engineering advancement, driving the future of the built environment.
Goal:
RED continues to expand its operations and take on increasingly complex and high-profile projects. To support their ongoing growth and activities, they utilise an annual graduate recruitment and investment programme.
BSRIA (Building Services Research and Intelligence Association) was selected over 4 years ago to deliver an ongoing, comprehensive annual training program to meet RED’s needs. With extensive expertise in building services, we have tailored a bespoke program to provide essential updates on new technologies and regulations and foster the continuous development of technical skills across RED’s team.
Solution:
Our approach was to design a flexible and scalable programme, ensuring all employees could benefit, regardless of their experience level or the complexity of their current projects. The programme was structured around three key components: mechanical, electrical, and public health building services.
The training programme was designed to cover both fundamental and advanced concepts, enabling engineers to build a strong foundation while equipping them with cutting-edge knowledge. The curriculum was created in collaboration with RED to ensure it aligned with their ongoing projects and industry trends.
Results and Benefits:
We worked with RED to deliver a flexible training programme, combining online modules and in-person workshops to supplement the induction programme of their new graduates.
Our tailored building services training programme has been instrumental in developing and enhancing the skills of RED’s graduate workforce. It equips graduates with the contextual knowledge and competencies needed to understand the integrated functions of building services, enabling them to contribute to the delivery of better-performing buildings.
The success of this collaboration has led to ongoing training initiatives, reinforcing the importance of continuous professional development and maintaining a competitive edge in the engineering consultancy market.
