Job Description & How to Apply Below
This role would suit an engineer who wants to remain technically hands-on while taking greater ownership of projects, clients and junior-engineer support.
You will be expected to be equally credible producing mechanical designs and calculations as you are representing the discipline in client and multidisciplinary design-team meetings.
The Role
You will:
* Lead selected mechanical building-services projects and packages.
* Take projects from initial brief and concept through detailed design, tender and delivery support.
* Produce and review mechanical calculations, schematics, layouts, specifications and technical reports.
* Design heating, cooling, ventilation and associated building-services systems.
* Coordinate mechanical designs with electrical, public health, architectural, structural, fire and sustainability disciplines.
* Attend client and design-team meetings and provide technical input.
* Review technical output and support junior engineers and technicians.
* Help maintain strong technical standards across project delivery.
* Build trusted relationships with clients and support repeat business.
* Incorporate sustainability, low-carbon design and compliance into engineering decisions.
What We’re Looking For
* Degree, HNC or HND in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering or a related discipline.
* Ideally 4–6 years+ mechanical building-services design experience.
* Consultancy background with responsibility for coordinated mechanical design projects.
* Strong hands-on experience with calculations, schematics, layouts, specifications and design reviews.
* Good Revit and/or AutoCAD capability.
* Knowledge of UK Building Regulations, CIBSE guidance and relevant standards.
* Experience leading projects or mechanical work packages.
* Confidence dealing directly with clients and multidisciplinary design teams.
* Experience supporting or mentoring junior engineers.
* Interest in low-carbon, renewable, BREEAM and net-zero design.
* Strong communication, organisation and project-delivery skills.
Your current title is less important than your technical capability.
We are looking for someone who can genuinely design it, calculate it, coordinate it and confidently discuss it with the client.
