Meica & Systems Lead MEP Digital Engineer in Leeds

Are you a senior Digital Engineer who enjoys leading, coordinating, and keeping projects running smoothly—not just hands‑on modeling? Would you like to be part of the teams delivering some of the UK’s most impressive projects? Then Crown House Technologies is the place for you! We’re looking for a Lead MEP Digital Engineer to manage the Digital Engineering scope on some of the UK’s most complex, high‑profile projects. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the ownership, planning, communication, and delivery aspects of Digital Engineering. You will oversee the whole process, manage workflows, and guide the Digital Engineering team, ensuring programme, price, and scope are delivered. If you join us you’ll be a valued member of an industry‑leading team that offers an exciting and varied career with access to truly great projects. We are committed to extensive training, development, and long‑term career opportunities, so this role is suitable for someone who seeks long‑term career progression. This position focuses on coordination, leadership, planning, and communication.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage Digital Engineering activities across one or more of our major projects.
• Plan, coordinate and manage all DE activities relating to coordination, 3D modelling and drawing production.
• Set up projects on the required software platforms and ensure all DE processes, standards, and workflows are implemented.
• Allocate work effectively across the DE team, recognising individual strengths and weaknesses.
• Liaise with our off‑site manufacturing facility on drawing release dates.

Coordination, Enquiries & Reporting

• Deal with project enquiries, pre‑requisites, scope and price checks, and programme alignment.
• Prepare and submit regular Scope/Price/Programme reports to the Regional MEP DE Leader.
• Interface with the main contractor, design managers, DfMA teams, MEP teams, and internal stakeholders.
• Lead or facilitate coordination workshops and meetings as required.
• Ensure DE outputs comply with agreed project BEP, BS EN ISO 19650, ERs, spec, and DfMA strategy.

Technical Management & Oversight

• Ensure the Digital Engineering team has the information needed to work efficiently.
• Check and monitor technical quality and compliance of all DE outputs (not carrying out the modelling yourself).
• Manage RFIs, RFCs, change impacts and drawing tracking schedules.
• Mentor and support Digital Engineers, acting as a technical resource where needed.
• Provide material and weight take‑off data to the manufacturing facility.
• Act as a ‘critical friend’ for projects involving supply chain Digital Engineering partners.

What This Role Is Not

• Not a hands‑on modelling job—you won’t spend your days creating models or drawings. The DE team will.
• Not a pure Revittechnician role—this is a senior coordination, leadership, and reporting role.
• Not for someone who wants to stay purely technical—you need to be comfortable with stakeholder engagement.
