Overview

Program Description There’s a lot of technology at work in today’s commercial and institutional buildings, from energy efficient boilers to complex HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning). Building systems require regular, skilled maintenance—mechanical and technical. That’s why building systems technicians are always in demand. It’s a job that requires good problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently or as part of a team. Building Systems Technician is a one-year certificate program offered at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Regina campus. Students will receive comprehensive training in maintaining, operating and repairing electrical, ventilation, refrigeration and water treatment systems. Most courses include practical activities to develop students' troubleshooting skills. Students will also get hands-on experience with a boiler during a work experience in their second term. It’s a great way to use what students have learned in class and labs in a real-world setting. It’s also a way to develop contacts for possible future employment. Industry certifications are important to students' career mobility and earning power. So, in addition to developing knowledge and skills, Saskatchewan Polytechnic helps students prepare for industry certification exams. SIAST’s Building Systems Technician certificate combined with industry certifications will open a lot of different doors. Graduates are working in building systems maintenance and operation in medium to large buildings (apartment blocks, hotels, malls, schools, health facilities, etc.). Students could work in boiler and refrigeration plants, perform maintenance crew work or take charge of a building. Potential employers include building owners, property management companies and government agencies.
