The Opportunity
We are working with an established and growing building services engineering consultancy based in York, who are looking to appoint an experienced Mechanical Building Services Design Engineer to join their expanding team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an Intermediate or Senior-level engineer who enjoys taking ownership of their designs, producing technical engineering documentation and working across projects from initial concept through to completion.

Their wider project experience also includes schools and universities, hotels, residential developments, nursing homes, student accommodation and specialist refurbishment schemes.
 
Projects typically range in value from £5 million to £8 million, offering exposure to technically varied schemes and the opportunity to take responsibility for your own design work.
 
The Role
You will play an important role in delivering mechanical building services designs, taking projects through all RIBA stages and ensuring solutions are technically sound, coordinated and commercially practical.

• Coordinating mechanical designs with wider project teams, clients and other consultants.
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant regulations, standards and project requirements.
• Taking ownership of projects and managing design deliverables through to completion.

About You
We are keen to speak with Mechanical Building Services Design Engineers who have a strong technical foundation and can demonstrate the ability to independently deliver mechanical design packages.
 
You will ideally have:

• Approximately 3-5 years' experience within a Mechanical Building Services Design Engineer position.
• Experience working within a building services consultancy environment.
• The ability to undertake your own mechanical design and engineering calculations.
• Strong CAD skills, with the ability to produce your own drawings.

• The ability to troubleshoot technical challenges and identify practical design solutions.
• Good communication skills and the confidence to liaise with clients and wider project teams.
• A proactive approach, with the ability to manage your own workload and take ownership of projects.

Candidates operating at either Intermediate or Senior level will be considered, with salary dependent on experience and technical capability.
