  • Take responsibility for the selection and development of appropriate engineering systems
  • Apply independent technical judgement and engineering principles to project design and delivery
  • Ensure designs comply with relevant Standards, Codes of Practice and Regulations
  • Manage the engineering design function on allocated projects, including design preparation, supervision and costing
  • Manage projects to agreed programmes, budgets and quality standards
  • Coordinate with other engineering disciplines and understand the fundamental design parameters affecting multidisciplinary projects
  • Assist with the preparation of CAD drawings and clearly communicate design requirements to CAD Technicians
  • Undertake surveys of existing buildings and prepare reports covering mechanical services, condition, capacity, regulatory compliance and energy performance
  • Maintain effective client liaison and develop strong client relationships
