Job Details
An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Mechanical Associate Director to join a modern, independent Building Services consultancy with an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality MEP solutions across London.
This is an ideal role for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys technical leadership but also wants genuine influence over the future direction of a growing business. You’ll join a close-knit team where your ideas will be valued, your achievements recognised, and your career progression supported with a realistic pathway to Director level.
The consultancy has built its reputation through long-term client relationships, repeat business and technical excellence, delivering projects across the commercial office, mixed-use, retail and industrial sectors. Their collaborative culture offers the flexibility and autonomy often missing in larger organisations, whilst maintaining involvement in technically challenging and rewarding projects.
Role
As Mechanical Associate Director, you will lead the delivery of mechanical building services projects from feasibility through to completion across RIBA Stages 1-6. Working closely with senior management, architects, project managers and multidisciplinary design teams, you will be responsible for both technical delivery and commercial performance while mentoring and developing junior engineers.
Responsibilities
- Leading mechanical design projects from concept through construction.
- Managing project delivery, quality, programme and commercial performance.
- Acting as the primary client contact throughout project lifecycles.
- Producing and reviewing calculations, reports, specifications and technical documentation.
- Overseeing mechanical design production using BIM and CAD workflows.
- Undertaking site inspections, commissioning reviews and technical assessments.
- Supporting sustainability strategies and renewable energy feasibility studies.
- Mentoring and developing engineers within the team.
- Assisting with business development, fee proposals and identifying new opportunities.
- Supporting recruitment and continued growth of the engineering team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
