Yolk Recruitment is supporting an established specialist engineering business with the recruitment of an HVAC Project Engineer to manage technically complex installation projects across the West Midlands of the UK.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong HVAC, refrigeration, or building-services engineering knowledge who enjoys combining technical problem-solving with end-to-end project delivery and customer interaction.

You'll take ownership of projects from design and planning through installation, commissioning, and handover, coordinating engineers and subcontractors while acting as a key technical point of contact for customers. The role will combine office-based project work with regular customer and project-site activity, so would suit someone who enjoys being close to both the technical detail and physical delivery of projects. The client's original brief specifically covers projects from design through commissioning and follow-up.
