What is a building engineer?

A Building Engineer is a professional responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of a building's systems, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), electrical, plumbing, and structural components. They ensure that all systems function efficiently and safely, often performing regular inspections and troubleshooting issues as they arise.
