Current projects span:

• Commercial office fit–outs
• Industrial and logistics developments
• Large warehouse schemes

• Delivering Mechanical Building Services designs across all RIBA stages.
• Producing calculations, reports, specifications and technical drawings.
• Using CAD/Revit confidently to produce and coordinate your own designs.
• Carrying out engineering reviews, validations and technical assessments.

• Supporting the delivery of multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high technical standards.

• Experience within a Building Services consultancy.
• Strong Mechanical Building Services design knowledge.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Competent using AutoCAD and/or Revit to produce your own designs.
• Comfortable taking ownership of projects and communicating directly with clients.
• A collaborative approach with the confidence to ask questions and contribute ideas.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary dependent on experience.
• Hybrid working with flexibility around office attendance.
• Modern and collaborative office environment in a prime location.
• Genuine career progression within a growing consultancy and direct access to Directors and decision–makers.
• Opportunity to work across a diverse portfolio of technically interesting projects.
• Supportive, family–friendly culture where flexibility is based on trust and outcomes rather than rigid policies.

Why Apply?

This is a consultancy that has built its reputation on technical excellence, responsiveness and long–term client relationships. Rather than being another number in a large organisation, you’ll become an integral part of a growing engineering team where your ideas, technical ability and contribution will have a real impact on the future of the business.

If you’re looking for a role that offers autonomy, project variety and the opportunity to grow alongside an ambitious consultancy, we’d love to hear from you.
