Job Description

The Opportunity

Are you a Mechanical Engineer with a couple of years under your belt, looking to take the next step in your career? Whether you’ve spent the last two years behind a desk in a Design Consultancy or on-site in Contracting, Branta are looking for a versatile engineer to join a busy Project Delivery team.

This role offers the perfect "bridge" for an engineer who wants to move away from pure CAD work or pure site-supervision and into a full-lifecycle Project Engineering role. You will be given the autonomy to manage your own smaller schemes while receiving direct mentorship on large-scale infrastructure projects.

Key Accountabilities

  * 

    Project Ownership: Manage mechanical building services solutions for office refurbishments, laboratory fit-outs, and infrastructure upgrades from initial concept to final handover.

  * 

    Design & Specification: Prepare mechanical designs, specifications, and tender documents. (Design candidates will apply their technical skills; Contracting candidates will learn the formal design process).

  * 

    Sustainability: Drive energy-efficient solutions and support carbon-reduction goals across the portfolio.

  * 

    Financial Awareness: Assist in producing feasibility reports, tracking project budgets, and ensuring cost-effective delivery.

  * 

    Compliance & Safety: Apply CDM 2015 regulations and CIBSE guidelines to all work, ensuring high standards of Health & Safety.

  * 

    Contractor Management: Monitor the performance of external contractors on-site to ensure work meets design specifications and quality standards.

  * 

    Commissioning: Participate in the commissioning of mechanical systems to ensure they meet operational requirements.

The Person

Experience & Skills

  * 

    The Ŗ-Year Milestone": You will likely have around 2 years of post-qualification experience in either a building services design office or a mechanical contracting environment.

  * 

    Technical Knowledge: A solid grasp of HVAC, pipework, and thermal dynamics. Familiarity with Building Regulations and CIBSE standards.

  * 

    Software Skills: Proficient in AutoCAD. Exposure to MEPWorx, Hevacomp, or Revit is a significant advantage.

  * 

    Problem Solving: A practical approach to engineering challenges—you can identify an issue and work methodically toward a solution.

  * 

    Communication: Ability to write clear technical reports and communicate effectively with both site trades and senior stakeholders.

Attributes

  * 

    Inquisitive: A strong desire to understand how buildings work and how to optimize them for energy efficiency.

  * 

    Adaptable: Comfortable moving between a professional office environment and active construction sites.

  * 

    Collaborative: A team player who is happy to support senior engineers while also taking the initiative on individual tasks.

Qualifications

  * 

    Essential: A Degree or HND/Level 4+ qualification in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering, or equivalent.

  * 

    Development: We actively support candidates working towards Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered (CEng) status, not essential.

Why Join Us?

The client offers a rare opportunity to see your designs come to life. Unlike a traditional consultancy where you may never visit the site, or a contractor where you don't influence the design, this role allows you to own the entire process.
