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:

* 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.
