Dutch term or phrase: Installatietechniek
Also from Dutch certificate - see previous question. Problem here is that Installatietechniek is a trade that is not recognised as one trade in English but consists of aspects of several different trades . So how to best translate it?

Installation technical staff


Explanation:
I think the term "technical staff" would be much more in the broader sense. The person could be from the computer industry, a mechanic (automobiles), electricity, etc.

Explanation:
BUT that depends on the context. Also possible: 'building services', as in 'building services consultant'. Again from Van den End's Property Lexicon (online version)

Notes to answerer
Asker: installatietechniek can have to do with electricals (installatiemonteur can be an electrical contractor) but that's not the case here.
