Resourcing Partner – Laing O\’Rourke/Crown House technologies

Are you a mechanical or electrical project engineer looking to move away from site delivery and step into a DfMA-focused role?
Have you been involved in design coordination or detailing for installation and prefabrication and want to take those skills to the next level?
Then come and join Crown House Technologies as a LeadDfMA Engineer and become a key player in delivering cutting-edge offsite MEP solutions across major UK infrastructure projects. You\’ll work alongside our digital design and manufacturing teams to transform complex building services designs into smart, factory-built components, think risers, plant rooms, and service cupboards all built with precision to boost quality, reduce waste, and speed up onsite delivery.
If you\’re passionate about innovation, efficiency, and shaping the future of construction, this role is for you.
What You\’ll Be Doing

• Leading the charge on MEP DfMA integration from initial concept right through to final delivery
• Shaping and owning project DfMA strategies that align perfectly with client goals
• Deep-diving into consultant designs to create buildable, manufacturing-optimised solutions
• Embedding DfMA principles early with design teams (RIBA stages 2–4) to maximise value
• Partnering with our offsite manufacturing facility to review drawings and share manufacturing insights
• Feeding your real-world delivery experience into cost plans and winning bids
• Managing design changes and steering multidisciplinary design reviews like a pro
• Supporting site teams with smart logistics, buildability checks, and installation strategies for prefabricated components
• Mentoring junior engineers, sharing your expertise, and helping build a high-performing, future-ready team

What You\’ll Bring

• Solid MEP delivery experience — ideally with exposure to offsite construction or prefabrication
• Practical background in engineering or project delivery, ready to apply your skills in a fresh, innovative way
• Strong knowledge of building services systems and DfMA methods — or a serious appetite to develop these skills
• A sharp eye for spotting prefabrication opportunities and turning designs into reality
• Understanding of supply chains, value engineering, and the impact of design change control
• Familiarity with CDM regulations and working seamlessly across multidisciplinary team

Don\’t tick every box? If you have a building services background and a desire to move into DfMA, we\’d still like to hear from you as training and development will be provided.
