This Mechanical Services Contractor, with a strong and stable order book secured through 2027 , are seeking a practically minded, mechanically biased CAD Design Engineer who can demonstrate Plant Room Design experience.

Joining a close-knit, 5-strong design and delivery team you will bridge the gap between engineering design and practical project execution.

Key Responsibilities

* Modelling & Coordination:
Produce accurate 2D/3D plant room layouts, schematics, and pipework arrangements using AutoCAD (Primary) and Revit (Occasional).

* Constructability & Specification:
Review design inputs, calculate spatial/containment requirements, and specify mechanical equipment (boilers, chillers, pumps) in close collaboration with Project Managers.

* Clash Detection:
Collaborate with structural, electrical, and architectural teams to resolve spatial conflicts digitally before materials hit the site.

* Site & Subcontractor Liaison:
Conduct site surveys, work alongside site installation teams to troubleshoot practical issues, and amend drawings for as-built documentation.

* Compliance:
Ensure all drawings and layouts adhere to UK Building Regulations, CDM regulations, and safety guidelines.

What We Are Looking For

* A Degree or HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services, or a related discipline.

* Proven CAD/modelling experience gained specifically within a Mechanical Services Contractor environment.

* An understanding of mechanical building services, plant room constructability, and basic pipe stress/routing constraints.

* Proficiency in AutoCAD is essential; exposure to Revit or 3D coordination tools is advantageous.

* Excellent problem-solving skills and the confidence to liaise with site teams, and interpret technical specifications
