My client is a well-established principal contractor with more than 20 years of delivering construction projects across leisure, commercial, residential, heritage, education, healthcare, and public buildings.
They are looking for an Intermediate Mechanical Engineer to join their building services design team. You will have senior engineers to learn from, while owning your own areas of design and running smaller projects yourself.

- Develop mechanical building services designs from concept through to detailed design
- Carry out heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic water, and drainage calculations
- Size and select plant, equipment, ductwork, and pipework
- Produce and review drawings, schematics, specifications, and equipment schedules
- Coordinate with electrical, public health, architectural, and structural designs
- Attend design team meetings, coordination workshops, and site inspections
- Review contractor technical submissions and respond to RFIs
- Assist with surveys of existing buildings and prepare reports
