Senior ​/ Principal Mechanical Engineer

SENIOR / PRINCIPAL MECHANICAL ENGINEER Manchester / Liverpool | Hybrid | Infrastructure & Engineering

Mechanical engineering. Big projects. Proper responsibility.

A leading UK infrastructure engineering and advisory business is expanding its Manchester / Liverpool team and is looking for a Senior / Principal Mechanical Engineer to play a key role in the delivery of major engineering programmes.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your days simply checking drawings and waiting for the next project to land.

You'll be expected to think, lead, challenge and engineer — working with clients and multidisciplinary teams to deliver solutions that work in the real world.

• Lead mechanical engineering and design across complex projects
• Develop designs from feasibility and concept through to detailed design and construction
• Produce and review calculations, specifications, reports and technical documentation
• Take technical ownership of mechanical packages
• Coordinate designs with electrical, civil, structural and wider engineering disciplines
• Work closely with clients, contractors, manufacturers and suppliers
• Attend design reviews, site meetings and technical workshops
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to engineers and technicians
• Support project planning, bids, proposals and business development
• Help develop engineering standards, processes and best practice

• Significant mechanical engineering/design experience
• Experience with in building services, infrastructure or multidisciplinary engineering
• Strong knowledge of mechanical systems and UK design standards
• Experience delivering technically complex projects
• Degree/HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services or a related discipline
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience providing chemical guidance to less experienced engineers
• CEng / IEng / working towards Chartership would be advantageous
• Experience with relevant mechanical design and modelling software

Because your next step shouldn't simply mean more emails, more meetings and a bigger spreadsheet.

• Own technical decisions.
• Lead projects.
• Develop people.
• Influence clients.
• Shape the future of engineering.

You'll be joining a collaborative multidisciplinary environment working across some of the UK's most important infrastructure programmes, with genuine opportunities for professional development and progression.
