The Young Engineers Network is aimed at those under the age of 35 working in BCIA member companies.   The Network provides a platform for young BEMS engineers to come together to position and influence the growth of the sector and the profile and role of young engineers in the sector.  As a group, young engineers champion diversity in BEMS and provide opportunities for ongoing development and learning.  As well as meetings where the YEN focus on project activities and planning, they hold a series of events each year that include site visits, socials, CPD sessions etc. 

YEN is free to join for those employed with BCIA member companies.
