Hey oldy peeps,

I’m an electrical engineer (recent graduate) looking to move into the MEP/building services industry and wanted to ask senior engineers here-what technical topics or skills do you think every junior engineer should learn before starting?

So far I know things like:

• cable sizing
• voltage drop
• load calculations
• protection systems
• lighting design
• Revit/DIALux basics

But I’d really like to know what topics are actually important in real projects and what you wish juniors already understood before joining.

Would appreciate any advice, standards or practical tips.

Cheers!
