Job description

Overview

There are not many Senior Mechanical Design Engineer roles like this one, especially in York. To save you reading further, you’ll need to have a building services design background for this role; it isn’t for you if you are an expert in a different field. With that out of the way, let me tell you about the good bits.

Benefits

• Truly flexible working; you work the times that suit you, and in the location that fits best. They don’t have offices; they have workplaces. It’s a subtle difference, but it means the commute needn’t be a chore.
• 26 days holiday, plus stats and scope to buy an additional 10 days’ leave each year, perfect if you like to balance work and play time.
• 8% Employers pension contribution if you put in 4%. There is also enhanced sick pay, Group Income Protection and of course, the usual life insurance.
• BUPA private medical, not just a cash-back scheme.
• Well-being programme that includes the standard phone line, but also health checks, office wellness champions, social events and fitness challenges.
• They deliver social impact. Their projects are often classed as infrastructure, but that hides the focus upon sustainability, minimising environmental impact and helping communities work better while connecting more effectively with the wider area.

What is the job?

They need an additional Mechanical Design Engineer or Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join their team in York. As I said earlier, you’ll be joining the building services design team, so you’ll need to be a specialist in that sector.

You’ll be mainly working on rail related schemes, not just in the UK, they also deliver schemes in Dubai and Europe from York. This means that you’ll have contributed to some of the largest rail projects being built in the world from your home office or their relaxing workplace.

You’ll need to be comfortable with all aspects of mechanical building services design. You’ll also need to be used to working within a BIM environment beyond Revit; as you would imagine this team is at the cutting edge of collaborative working.

While they have a very relaxed and friendly culture, they work with their partners with the utmost professionalism. Being credible doesn’t mean being stuffy!

Similarly, their focus on sustainability means that if you have an interest in building physics, you will find your grey matter well and truly tickled.

Qualifications

Qualifications wise, if you are Chartered, that is obviously a benefit. If it is something you plan to get on your CV, you’ll receive all the support you need to make it happen. If it isn’t on your agenda, that’s fine – they’ll value your on the job experience.
