Senior Mechanical Engineer - Building Services

Job description

YOUR NEW COMPANY

You'll be joining a specialist engineering consultancy delivering technically challenging projects across the data centre, energy, industrial and commercial sectors. Their engineers are trusted to design the critical building infrastructure that keeps some of Europe's most advanced facilities operating safely, efficiently and reliably.

Following sustained growth and continued investment across the UK and Europe, the business is expanding its mechanical team to support a growing pipeline of major projects.

With offices in both London and Birmingham, you'll have the opportunity to work from either location in a hybrid environment while playing a key role in delivering some of the industry's most technically demanding developments.

YOUR NEW ROLE

You'll join an experienced multidisciplinary building services team working alongside mechanical, electrical, structural and process engineers to deliver projects from early concept through to client handover. Rather than designing manufacturing equipment, you'll take ownership of the mechanical building services that enable complex facilities to operate efficiently and safely.

You'll lead the design of HVAC, ventilation, heating, cooling, utilities and life safety systems across industrial, commercial and energy developments, coordinating closely with architects, contractors, process specialists and clients throughout the project lifecycle. You'll prepare technical reports, tender documentation and detailed design packages while supporting projects through construction and commissioning.

This is a consultancy where senior engineers are trusted to make decisions, mentor junior colleagues and shape technical delivery. As the business continues to grow, you'll have the opportunity to lead increasingly complex projects while developing into a recognised technical leader within the organisation.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED

You'll bring at least 7 years experience delivering mechanical building services design within a consultancy environment, supported by a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering or a related discipline. You'll be comfortable leading projects independently and designing mechanical systems for industrial or commercial buildings from concept through to completion.

Your background should include HVAC, ventilation, heating, cooling, utilities and life safety systems, together with experience coordinating multidisciplinary design teams and maintaining high technical standards throughout project delivery. Knowledge of ATEX environments, CIBSE, ASHRAE, BS and EN standards, together with experience using Navisworks and Bluebeam, will allow you to hit the ground running.

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN

You'll receive a competitive salary alongside one of the best work-life balance packages in the market. The standout benefit is a 9-day fortnight, giving you every second Friday off, alongside flexible working hours and a hybrid working model that gives you genuine flexibility without sacrificing collaboration.

You'll also benefit from a generous pension scheme, private healthcare contribution, chartership support, paid professional memberships, ongoing technical training, gym membership contribution, travel and bike-to-work schemes, increasing annual leave, paid business expenses and an active social calendar including five-a-side football, golf, climbing and regular team events. It's a business that invests heavily in its people and gives you the support to build a long-term career, not just complete the next project.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW

If you're looking for a role where you'll lead technically complex projects while enjoying genuine flexibility and a 9-day fortnight, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today or contact David McLaughlin directly on 0141 212 4821 for a confidential discussion. Applications via LinkedIn are also welcome.
