CIBSE Certification has launched a new scheme to assess the competency of individuals offering management system specialist services.
The Management System Specialist scheme certifies individuals against a list of competency requirements. They can then be placed on a register, enabling organisations to find and connect with them.
All competent persons must maintain appropriate insurance, adhere to the CIBSE Certification code of conduct, and undertake appropriate continuing professional development.
CIBSE has run accredited schemes for the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme, Low Carbon Consultants, Display Energy Certificates, and Energy Performance Certificates since 2007, and offers management system certification to ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 50001.
CIBSE is aware of the common challenges facing organisations operating in this sector and is keen to offer support.
The ongoing focus on decarbonisation, net zero and the Building Safety Act has put pressure on many organisations to have effective management systems in place. They also face challenges with increasing costs, skills shortages, frameworks to manage competency of staff and suppliers, and increasing customer expectations. Optimisation of processes and systems is taking centre stage, and selection of specialists is essential to achieving efficient, effective and conforming systems and operations.
