• Enthusiasm for building internal relationships throughout Associated Engineering’s network of engineering professionals
• Passion for HVAC, hydraulics, pumping and piping systems, and understanding the importance of sustainability in design and energy efficiency resulting from system optimisation
• Ability to look beyond your mechanical engineering specialty to find synergies with other disciplines to understand cross‑disciplinary needs for a successful project completion
• Proficient with MS Office, and with PDF editing software
• Familiarity with AutoCAD and 3D design tools such as SketchUp, Revit and Plant 3D
