Associate Director – MEP (Mechanical or Electrical)

Competitive Salary + Bonus + Full Benefits + Career Defining Projects

Would you like to work for a high-performing, fast-growing multidisciplinary consultancy that’s delivering some of the UK’s most high-profile projects across the built environment – think institutional residential, logistics, and major commercial developments up to £200m.

They’re now looking for an Associate or Associate Director (Mechanical or Electrical bias) to join their Leeds office and lead on complex projects from day one. This is a leadership role for someone who can blend technical delivery, project management, and commercial acumen.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• High-profile projects with real technical challenge and variety
• Hybrid working + flexible hours
• Opportunity to lead your own team and influence business growth

What They’re Looking For:

• Associate or Associate Director-level experience in MEP consultancy
• Mechanical or Electrical background
• Strong leadership skills – able to manage a team and lead projects
• Client-facing and commercially astute
• Experience working in BIM and with tools like Revit, IES, Amtech, Hevacomp
• Degree qualified, ideally Chartered or working toward Chartership
• Based in or near Leeds (or looking to relocate), with UK work eligibility

Package:

• Performance bonus (up to 10%)
• 25 days’ holiday + your birthday off + bank holidays
• Private medical cover + life assurance
• Company pension

This is a standout opportunity for a senior MEP engineer ready to take the next step in leadership with serious projects, a strong pipeline, and an employer that invests in their people.
