About Skill M&E

Skill M&E consists of three skills competitions that search for the ‘best of the best’ mechanical and electrical engineers from the building services engineering sector: SkillELECTRIC, SkillFRIDGE and SkillPLUMB. 

Everyone benefits from competition as it ensures the constant development of technology, quality of goods and skills provided. For the individual, the rewards can be fantastically self satisfying. For employers, highly adept employees contribute to the success and profitability of the company.

Winners of the competitions also could have the chance to become truly world-class at WorldSkills, the largest international skills competition in the world. Find out more about WorldSkills
