Provide support and guidance to the mechanical engineers.

Role Summary
- Work on a diverse programme
- Develop junior mechanical engineers.
- Develop new ways of working that focus on delivering outcomes, rather than outputs, to reduce carbon, protect and increase natural capital, address climate change, and embrace innovations and new digital technologies.
- Grow your professional internal and external networks with a multitude of partners across the sector
- Broaden your skills by working collaboratively with multi-disciplinary project teams, Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors, Procurement, Enabling and Construction Managers.

Role Accountabilities
Project Delivery
- Collaborate with other discipline engineers and manage quality through the design workflow review to achieve time, cost and quality standards.
- Ensure that the mechanical deliverables are produced to the required standards and specifications.
- Check mechanical and hydraulic systems, including pumping systems, plant, building services, and ensure they have been completed to an appropriate level of detail and compliance.
- Check integrated supplier packages and 3D models to ensure quality, safety, and technical standards are adhered to, including meeting DSEAR compliance.
- Check mechanical documentation such as basis of design, specifications, work scope and schedules.
- Review construction site design queries and change requests, to ensure quick but accurate responses and/or the design remains suitable.
- Support the Senior Design Manager and Design Managers to forecast and allocate resources on a best for task basis.
- Support the Project Design Managers and other engineering disciplines to plan and manage the design delivery, and to manage stakeholders regarding mechanical design acceptance.
- Seek support and direction from the Principal Mechanical Engineer.
- Provide knowledge for the creation and reviewing of supplier contracts and deliverables.
