Job Opportunity: Mechanical Project Engineer

Overview

Do you want to work on a project that will help transform the UK's energy infrastructure and support the transition to a low-carbon future?

Looking to grow your career on one of the country's most significant infrastructure programmes, working in a technically complex and fast-paced environment?

Then our in-house MEP Engineering business, Crown House Technologies, could be the company for you!

About the Role

Crown House Technologies is supporting the delivery of the Great Grid Project – a major programme of infrastructure investment that will play an important role in strengthening and modernising the UK's electricity network and enabling the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy.

We're now looking for a skilled and motivated Mechanical Project Engineer to join our delivery team. This is a fantastic opportunity to apply your engineering expertise on a nationally significant infrastructure programme, working alongside experienced teams to deliver complex mechanical systems safely, efficiently and to the highest standards.

If you join us, you'll become a valued member of an industry-leading team, with the opportunity to work on some of the UK's most important and technically challenging projects. We are committed to investing in our people through extensive training, development and long-term career opportunities, making this an excellent role for someone looking to progress their career within engineering and major infrastructure.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading mechanical engineering delivery activities, providing technical oversight from design development through installation, commissioning and handover.
  • Managing and mentoring junior engineers while working closely with project managers, planners, subcontractors, suppliers and design teams to support successful project delivery.
  • Reviewing mechanical designs, specifications and technical information to ensure compliance with project, client and regulatory requirements.
  • Coordinating mechanical activities with other engineering disciplines to identify interfaces, resolve technical challenges and maintain programme requirements.
  • Driving a strong safety culture and ensuring mechanical works are delivered in accordance with health and safety legislation, project requirements and company standards.
  • Identifying opportunities for innovative engineering solutions, modern methods of construction and continuous improvement throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Monitoring quality and technical performance, identifying risks and ensuring appropriate actions are implemented.
  • Supporting testing, commissioning and project close-out activities, including quality assurance, technical documentation and handover.

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.
