£55,000 – £60,000 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications.
Core Responsibilities
*
Lead the design and development of mechanical systems—such as HVAC, domestic water services, plumbing, and public health—for residential projects spanning from smaller builds to large-scale developments.
*
Collaborate with architects, structural engineers, and other stakeholders to integrate M&E systems efficiently into designs.
*
Prepare and issue design documentation—schematics, calculations, specifications, layout plans, material schedules, and performance assessments—in accordance with relevant standards and codes.
*
Participate in project kick-offs and client meetings to align on design requirements and ensure deliverables meet expectations.
*
Conduct technical reviews and quality control checks across design packages to ensure accuracy, compliance, and best practices.
*
Liaise with procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to support installation and handover processes.
*
Stay informed about new technologies, materials, and sustainability trends in M&E engineering, and propose opportunities for system enhancements or efficiency gains.
Key Requirements
*
Proven experience designing mechanical services for residential projects—preferably within both low- and high-rise contexts.
*
Solid understanding of UK standards, building regulations, and best practices for HVAC, plumbing, water services, and energy-efficient system design.
*
Proficiency in engineering software, such as AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or similar drawing and modeling tools.
*
Strong communication skills—both written and verbal—enabling clear collaboration with internal teams and external clients.
*
High level of attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
*
Self-motivated, with the confidence to make design decisions and take full ownership from initial concepts through to project delivery.
Nice-to-Have (but not mandatory)
*
Chartered or working toward chartership (e.g., CEng, IMechE).
*
Familiarity with sustainability strategies (e.g., passive design, low-carbon systems, MEP energy simulations).
*
Background in coordinating or supervising installations—whether site-based or remotely.
Why This Role Is Exciting
*
Be at the forefront of delivering essential mechanical services for diverse residential developments, helping shape spaces where people live and thrive.
*
The chance to work across a range of project sizes and types—from bespoke homes to large housing schemes.
