Overview:

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Design 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 (building services) 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:

Ideally you would be a Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering within the Building Services Engineering, or a related field. You would have several years of experience in mechanical building services design 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.
