* Interface with internal engineering teams, consultants, and clients to ensure seamless delivery of mechanical systems.
* Provide technical leadership and ensure compliance with ASHRAE, CIBSE, and British Standards.
* Manage the design process from concept through to IFC, ensuring design intent, performance, and resilience objectives are met.
* Drive energy efficiency, sustainability, and resilience across all design deliverables.
* Collaborate closely with electrical, CSA, and commissioning teams to ensure full integration of MEP systems.
* Conduct and chair design coordination meetings, risk workshops, and technical reviews.
* Lead value engineering initiatives, optimising performance while maintaining reliability and uptime requirements.
* Mentor junior engineers and promote a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
Key Requirements
* Degree in Mechanical or Building Services Engineering (Chartered status desirable – CEng / MCIBSE).
* Strong consultancy background, with experience managing multidisciplinary design delivery.
* Proven track record in data centre mechanical design (hyperscale, colocation, or enterprise).
* Deep understanding of mission-critical mechanical systems – redundancy (N+1, N+2), resilience, and uptime.
* Strong knowledge of HVAC system design, chilled water systems, and advanced cooling technologies.
* Excellent understanding of British Standards, ASHRAE, CIBSE, and other international design codes.
* Familiarity with design tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, IES, Hevacomp, Navisworks, or equivalent.
* Exceptional communication skills with the ability to lead remote teams and manage client interfaces.
* Self-driven, technically strong, and able to operate effectively in a fully remote environment.
Why Join This Company?
* Work with a market-leading data centre design specialist with a proven track record of excellence.
