Intermediate or Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
Kent | Hybrid Working | Up to £60k

Multidisciplinary Engineering Consultancy | Complex & Technical Projects

Are you an Intermediate or Senior Mechanical Engineer looking for a role where you can take genuine ownership of projects, work across technically challenging buildings, and have direct involvement with clients and the wider design team?

This is an opportunity to join an established multidisciplinary engineering consultancy with over 30 years of experience, bringing together mechanical, electrical, public health, fire engineering, sustainability, project management and building validation expertise.

The business works across the UK and internationally, delivering coordinated engineering solutions across sectors including commercial, residential, healthcare, education, data centres, industrial, defence and aviation.

The Opportunity

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll become an important part of the MEP team, taking responsibility for the technical delivery of projects while working alongside engineers from other disciplines.

The consultancy's approach is centred around practical engineering, buildability, coordination and value engineering, rather than design in isolation. You'll therefore have the opportunity to see your work develop from early feasibility through to detailed design, construction and completion.

You'll be responsible for:

Leading mechanical building services design across a variety of projects
Taking projects through relevant RIBA stages, from early concept through to technical delivery
Developing HVAC strategies and producing calculations, specifications and technical documentation
Working closely with electrical, public health and fire engineering teams to deliver fully coordinated designs
Attending client, contractor and design team meetings
Providing technical input and resolving complex engineering challenges
Reviewing designs and ensuring technical quality throughout project delivery
Supporting and mentoring junior and intermediate engineers
Developing strong relationships with clients, architects and other project stakeholders
Contributing to the continued growth and development of the mechanical engineering team

What They're Looking For

Strong experience in mechanical building services design
Proven consultancy experience across one or more relevant sectors
Strong technical understanding of HVAC and mechanical systems
Experience taking ownership of projects and technical deliverables
Comfortable working directly with clients, architects and contractors
Good understanding of UK regulations, standards and industry best practice
Experience mentoring or supporting less experienced engineers
Chartered or working towards chartership would be advantageous

Why This Opportunity?

Technical variety - Work across a broad range of sectors, from commercial and residential projects through to healthcare, education, data centres, defence and aviation.

Multidisciplinary environment - Rather than operating in a silo, you'll work alongside in-house electrical, public health, fire and sustainability specialists.

End-to-end project exposure - The team delivers MEP design from RIBA Stage 0 through to Stage 7, including design development, tender support, construction monitoring and post-occupancy evaluation.

International exposure - The consultancy has project experience across 14 countries and three continents, giving engineers the opportunity to work on projects beyond the UK market.

Development - The business places a strong emphasis on developing engineers at every stage of their career, with senior professionals encouraged to share knowledge and support the next generation.

This would suit a Mechanical Engineer who wants to be technically involved, client-facing and genuinely accountable for their projects, while working within a multidisciplinary consultancy where engineering quality and practical delivery are central to the business.

Whether you're working in larger corporate companies or a small SME, this is certainly one to take note of. Please don't hesitate to apply or get in touch for further info at the email below; we can arrange a confidential conversation anytime to suit you.
