Design & MarketingHF was delighted to participate once again in the annual Calderglen Futures Pathways Evening at Calderglen High School.
As a UK-leading multi-disciplinary building services contractor, our team got to engage directly with S2–S6 students, parents, and carers to highlight career routes across Electrical, Mechanical, and Fire & Security engineering disciplines.
Supporting local youth and providing clear pathways into skilled engineering roles forms a cornerstone of HF’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values.
Driving Social Value and Community Engagement
As part of our Social Sustainability focus, HF prioritises career guidance and modern apprenticeship development across Scotland and the UK. Events like Calderglen’s Pathways Evening allow our experienced engineers and representatives to share first-hand industry insights, breaking down barriers to skilled trades and green-tech careers.
- Early Career Engagement: Opening the event to S2–S6 pupils provided early exposure to STEM subjects, trades, and technical apprenticeships.
- Parent & Student Mentorship: Direct networking gave families valuable takeaways on modern apprenticeship frameworks, practical entry pathways, and career growth at HF.
- Developing Local Talent: By investing time in East Kilbride and Greater Glasgow schools, we ensure a sustainable pipeline of skilled engineers to support the region’s growing infrastructure.
Aligning Engineering Careers with ESG Goals
The modern building services industry plays a vital role in meeting net-zero targets and sustainable building practices across the UK. By introducing young people to the sector, HF highlights how technical trades actively contribute to environmental stewardship:
| Career Pathway | ESG & Sustainability Impact |
| Electrical Engineering | Installing energy-efficient power systems, EV charging networks, and smart building controls. |
| Mechanical Services | Integrating low-carbon HVAC systems, heat pumps, and sustainable water management. |
| Fire & Security | Deploying low-voltage, energy-efficient life safety systems and modern security solutions. |
A Family Culture Built on Long-Term Investment
At HF, our ethos centres around treating our workforce as part of the family. Participating in career fairs allows us to demonstrate the tangible benefits of joining a business focused on continuous training, internal promotion, and long-term retention.
“We consider all of our employees as invaluable assets to our ongoing success. Investing in local school career events ensures we continue to foster young talent and build a stronger, more sustainable workforce for the future.”
Craig Stevenson, HF Group
We extend our sincere thanks to the staff at Calderglen High School for organising another successful Pathways Evening. HF looks forward to continuing our partnership with local schools and inspiring the next generation of engineers.
