A specialist building services engineering consultancy is looking to recruit a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join its growing London team. The business has built an outstanding reputation for delivering MEP design on complex, mission‑critical projects, particularly within live operational environments where resilience, technical excellence and attention to detail are paramount. Its portfolio spans healthcare, commercial, education and critical infrastructure, giving engineers the opportunity to work on projects that have a genuine impact on the communities they serve.
This is an opportunity to step into a senior role where you'll combine hands‑on design with project leadership, client engagement and mentoring. You’ll lead the mechanical design of projects from concept through to completion, working closely with clients, architects and multidisciplinary teams to deliver innovative, sustainable engineering solutions. Alongside project delivery, you’ll help develop junior engineers, review technical work and play an active role in maintaining the high standards the business is known for.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading the mechanical design of HVAC, public health and low‑carbon building services systems
- Managing projects through every stage of design and construction
- Producing and reviewing calculations, specifications and technical reports
- Coordinating with electrical, public health and sustainability engineers
- Leading client meetings, workshops and technical design reviews
- Providing technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers
- Supporting construction teams with technical queries and site inspections
- Helping identify opportunities for innovation, value engineering and sustainable design solutions
About You
You'll ideally have:
- Experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer within a building services consultancy
- Strong knowledge of HVAC and mechanical building services design
- Experience leading projects and coordinating multidisciplinary teams
- Excellent communication and client‑facing skills
- A collaborative approach and a passion for delivering high‑quality engineering
- Chartered status, or working towards Chartership, would be advantageous
- Experience within healthcare or other technically demanding sectors would be beneficial but isn't essential.
Why Apply?
- Work on technically challenging projects that few consultancies can offer
- Join a collaborative team with a strong engineering culture
- Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
- Excellent training, mentoring and Chartership support
