You’ll need a sound engineering background, broad M&E knowledge and the confidence to advise customers, coordinate different disciplines and think on your feet.

If you’re at Senior level or above within Building Services Design, either in a typical M&E consultancy or data centre environment, I’d love to hear from you!

Whats require from the role?

• Leading the coordination of M&E design deliverables and interfaces.
• Advising customers and project teams on design requirements and technical solutions.
• Identifying project needs, resolving issues and engaging external specialists where required.
