• 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
• Supervise, mentor and support engineers, technicians and trainees
• Contribute to the development and implementation of internal technical standards and procedures
• Evaluate projects and investigate technical issues and failures where required
• Maintain effective project administration, cost control and programme management
• Manage internal and external project costs

Requirements

The successful candidate will be an experienced Mechanical Building Services Design Engineer capable of operating with a high degree of independence and taking ownership of both the technical and commercial aspects of projects.

• Strong knowledge of relevant UK Standards, Codes of Practice and Regulations
• Experience undertaking building surveys and producing technical reports
• The ability to exercise independent technical judgement and develop appropriate engineering solutions
• Experience managing projects, including programmes, costs and quality
• The ability to supervise and support other members of an engineering team
• Good CAD awareness and the ability to communicate design requirements effectively to CAD Technicians
• Strong client-facing and communication skills
• The ability to work independently, manage multiple responsibilities and maintain project delivery against programme

The Role

This is a senior position within the practice and provides the opportunity to take genuine ownership of projects, from the development of the initial engineering solution through to technical delivery, commercial management and client liaison.

The successful engineer will also play an important role in supporting the development of less experienced members of the team and improving internal engineering standards and procedures.

Continued professional development will be encouraged, with the successful candidate expected to maintain an up-to-date understanding of developments in mechanical building services engineering, Standards and Regulations.
