Of all the Building Services Design positions I've worked on, this is one of the most exciting I've seen!

This is an opportunity to work for a rapidly growing consultancy that has expanded to nearly 50 employees in just six years. They have built a strong presence across the UK by winning a significant number of high profile projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer who is eager to build and lead a growing mechanical team, with clear progression potential to become Head of Department for your division.

If you're stuck in your average Senior Mechanical Engineer role and now looking for a step up, this is something that's definitely worth considering!

The organisation is known for its supportive culture and genuinely values its staff, offering a highly competitive salary and a generous bonus scheme that rewards hard work and commitment. You’ll be joining at a pivotal time, contributing to a team that delivers technically challenging and impactful projects while enjoying a positive work environment with opportunities for professional development.

This role will allow you to lead on mechanical design across a diverse portfolio including new builds, refurbishments, and mechanical system upgrades. You will have the autonomy to shape the mechanical engineering capability and work closely with project managers, clients, and contractors to ensure smooth project delivery from concept to completion.

• Lead mechanical design for building services projects, focusing on HVAC, water, heating, and ventilation systems.
• Develop detailed specifications, technical drawings, and ensure all designs meet statutory and client requirements.
• Manage coordination with multidisciplinary teams, contractors, and stakeholders throughout project delivery.
• Conduct site inspections and provide technical support during construction and commissioning phases.
• Oversee junior engineers mentoring and developing talent as the mechanical team expands.

• Proven mechanical design experience within consultancy environments (ie residential, commercial, healthcare, education).
• Strong understanding of building services mechanical systems and sector-specific requirements.
• Be keen to obtain Chartered status if not already achieved.
