The CIBSE ANZ team brought energy, enthusiasm, and industry insight to the University of Adelaide Careers Fair on 11 March, where our stand quickly became one of the busiest spots on campus. From the moment the doors opened, students flocked to learn more about the exciting and impactful world of building services engineering—a discipline shaping the future of healthier, smarter, and more sustainable built environments.
Our team loved engaging with students eager to understand how engineers design the systems that keep buildings comfortable, efficient, and resilient. From indoor air quality and energy efficiency to smart building technologies and sustainable design, conversations throughout the day highlighted a strong appetite for careers that make a real difference.
“Events like this are essential for raising awareness of the building services profession. It was a great day to meet so many young and enthusiastic people, and to highlight the impact we have on building performance, sustainability and wellbeing. Engaging early helps showcase the diverse and rewarding career pathways available through CIBSE.” – David Tiller, CIBSE SA Chair
Our stall was buzzing all day—full of curiosity, great questions, and inspiring stories from young people ready to explore their future pathways.
A huge thank‑you goes to David Tiller, Liam Beckman, Lauren Squires, and the CIBSE SA YEN team, who generously dedicated their time and expertise at the fair. Their industry experience and passion for building services engineering helped make the event a real success.
