What you'll do

Youll take ownership of mechanical design projects, shaping them with your ideas and expertise. From concept to construction, youll run projects independently, making sure they meet the highest standards.

Passing on your knowledge is just as important, so youll mentor junior and intermediate engineers, helping to develop the next generation of talent. Youll also stay close to the action by attending client briefings, design team meetings and overseeing site progress.

What you'll need

• At least five years of experience in building services design
• The confidence to run projects independently and make key decisions
• Strong communication skills to liaise with clients and teams
