About the Role:
We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and delivery of mechanical building services for a range of residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. This is a flexible position with the option to work on a hybrid basis or primarily remote, depending on your location and preferences.
You'll be joining a forward-thinking engineering consultancy focused on delivering sustainable, energy-efficient solutions. This role offers the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to projects from early concept through to completion, working closely with multidisciplinary teams.
Key Responsibilities:
* Interpret results from energy modelling and simulation tools to inform mechanical system design.
* Size and select equipment such as chillers, AHUs, FCUs, pumps, ductwork, and diffusers based on engineering calculations.
* Liaise with manufacturers to specify appropriate mechanical systems and components.
* Calculate ductwork and pipework sizing, pressure drops, and velocities.
* Create detailed layouts for ductwork, piping, and control systems using AutoCAD, and ideally Revit MEP.
* Produce mechanical (HVAC and public health) design drawings, specifications, and equipment schedules.
* Collaborate closely with architects, structural engineers, and electrical designers to integrate building systems seamlessly.
* Participate in internal and external design meetings, contributing technical expertise and design insights.
* Provide support during design reviews, approvals, and coordination stages.
* Lead mechanical aspects of projects from initial scope handover through to successful completion.
About You:
* Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, or a related field.
* Minimum 5+ years of experience in mechanical building services design, preferably to UK standards.
* Solid understanding of HVAC system design and energy performance considerations.
* Proficient in AutoCAD; Revit MEP experience is highly desirable.
* Comfortable managing and delivering multiple projects simultaneously.
* Strong communication skills and the ability to lead design coordination effectively.
* Chartered Engineer status (or working towards chartership) is advantageous.
What’s Offered:
* Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
* Flexible working options — hybrid or mostly remote.
* A supportive and collaborative working environment.
* Exposure to innovative, sustainable, and technically engaging projects.
* Clear path for professional growth and career development.
