Mechanical Design Engineer – Kent - Up to £48,000 + Package
About The Company
An established and growing MEP Consultancy with over 18 years of industry experience is looking to expand its mechanical team with an additional engineer based in their Kent office.
The business has built a strong reputation across the UK and Europe, delivering projects across a wide range of sectors including commercial, high-end residential, hospitality, retail, education and healthcare.
A small business with a big reach, this role gives you the opportunity to be part of a small, close-knit team with a genuinely collaborative culture, whilst still working on high-profile projects across the UK and Europe.
Unlike larger consultancies where roles can become heavily siloed, this position offers broad exposure across all aspects of project delivery. You will have the chance to develop well-rounded experience by being involved in everything from client meetings and site visits through to project coordination, budgeting, advisory and design management — not just sitting behind a desk focused solely on design work.
The consultancy works closely with several long-standing architects, project managers, managing agents and developers, resulting in a consistent and fast-paced project pipeline. The team is ambitious, collaborative and highly driven, offering an excellent environment for engineers looking to progress their careers long term.
The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer to join a dynamic consultancy working on prestigious UK and international projects.
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.
