This is an opportunity for a senior mechanical engineer to join a creative and collaborative building engineering team in London, working on technically challenging projects with a strong design focus. The role is aimed at someone who enjoys taking responsibility for mechanical design on major projects, working closely with architects, developers, and other specialists to deliver high-quality outcomes across the full project lifecycle.<\/p>\n

The position sits within the building engineering business in London and involves work on a wide range of new and existing buildings. Projects are design-led and multi-disciplinary, with a strong emphasis on collaboration and on shaping buildings that perform well technically, environmentally, and architecturally. The team works on large UK and international commissions and has seen significant growth, creating the need for additional team members.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Take a leading role in the mechanical engineering contribution to projects from the earliest concept stages through to tender, construction, handover, and post-completion review.<\/li>\n
  • Work side by side with architects and other project team members to influence building form and ensure the mechanical strategy supports design quality, energy performance, and sustainability ambitions.<\/li>\n
  • Develop mechanical design approaches that incorporate current thinking around low-energy design, natural ventilation, sustainability, and net-zero carbon outcomes.<\/li>\n
  • Design mechanical building systems such as air conditioning, heating, and natural and mechanical ventilation systems.<\/li>\n
  • Carry out design analysis and work with the wider team to improve system performance and refine engineering solutions.<\/li>\n
  • Manage the creation of models, drawings, reports, and specifications needed to support project delivery.<\/li>\n
  • Coordinate with engineers from other disciplines and with in-house specialists to ensure the mechanical design is fully integrated with the wider project.<\/li>\n
  • Supervise and coordinate the work of others, helping to guide project output and maintain quality.<\/li>\n
  • Develop and sustain relationships with clients and collaborators, supporting effective teamwork and project success.<\/li>\n
  • Mentor junior colleagues and contribute to their development while continuing to build your own technical and leadership capability.<\/li>\n
  • Play an active part in delivering projects across sectors including arts and culture, commercial and mixed-use, science and industry, heritage and refurbishment, and low- and zero-carbon buildings.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to architecturally ambitious projects with prominent practices and developers in the UK and overseas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What the team is working on<\/h3>\n

    The team\u00e2\u0080\u0099s current work spans a broad mix of building types and sector priorities, with particular focus on arts and cultural projects, commercial and mixed-use developments, science and industrial facilities, heritage and refurbishment work, and buildings with low- or zero-carbon ambitions. Example projects mentioned include the British Museum redevelopment with Lina Ghotmeh, the Hanoi Opera House with Renzo Piano, the new Museum of London with Stanton Williams, and several major commercial developments in London.<\/p>\n

    What you need<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Experience in mechanical building services design, together with a strong understanding of how building mechanical systems are developed and delivered.<\/li>\n
    • A degree in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering; a master\u00e2\u0080\u0099s degree is preferred.<\/li>\n
    • Chartered status, or active progress toward chartership.<\/li>\n
    • A willingness to adapt, learn, and tackle analytical challenges involving energy consumption, temperature control, and related engineering parameters.<\/li>\n
    • Preferred experience in thermal modelling, including work aligned with Part L and TM54.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to oversee the production of building energy models using common software packages such as IES, TAS, EnergyPlus, or DesignBuilder.<\/li>\n
    • Previous experience leading design elements and coordinating small engineering teams would be an advantage.<\/li>\n
    • Confidence working collaboratively in multi-professional teams and taking design responsibility across the full life of a project.<\/li>\n
    • Strong technical and design skills, along with enthusiasm for technically inspiring work on cutting-edge projects.<\/li>\n
    • Comfort working on large-scale UK and international projects and engaging with leading architects and developers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
