Job description

Mechanical (HVAC & Plumbing) Design Engineer – Remote Support for UK Projects

A UK-based building services firm delivering complex Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) packages across commercial projects nationwide. Our team combines in-house design expertise with directly employed multi-skilled engineers to ensure seamless project delivery—from pre-construction and design assurance to installation, testing, and commissioning. To support a growing pipeline of UK projects, we’re expanding our Manila-based design capability.

Role Overview

We’re seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with expertise in HVAC and Plumbing systems to join our Manila office and support UK operations remotely. This is a hybrid role, combining office-based work in Pasay with remote collaboration with UK teams. You’ll design heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic water, and drainage systems for commercial buildings, produce coordinated 2D and 3D drawings, and contribute to early-stage cost estimates.

Key Responsibilities

Develop concept, schematic, and detailed designs for HVAC and public health systems.

Produce coordinated 2D AutoCAD drawings and assist with 3D modelling (e.g., Revit).

Perform core calculations (heat gains/losses, ventilation rates, duct/pipe sizing).

Prepare equipment schedules and interpret UK standards (CIBSE, BSEN, F-Gas, BESA).

Collaborate remotely with UK-based engineers and participate in online design reviews.

Extract material and labour quantities from drawings/specs to support tenders.

Ensure all design documentation meets QA and client requirements.

Requirements

Minimum 5 years’ experience in mechanical building services design.

Degree or diploma in Mechanical Engineering (building services focus).

Advanced 2D AutoCAD skills; working knowledge of 3D modelling tools (e.g., Revit).

Experience with material and labour take-offs for cost estimating.

Solid understanding of UK regulations and standards.

Strong English communication skills (written and verbal).

Proactive, detail-oriented, and able to manage tasks independently.

Experience supporting UK-based MEP/M mechanical tenders or consultancies.

Familiarity with BIM platforms (e.g., BIM 360, Asite).

Exposure to thermal modelling or energy compliance workflows.

What We Offer

Competitive salary based on experience.

Hybrid setup: Office-based in Pasay with remote collaboration on UK projects.

Stable UK workload with long-term career prospects.

Technical training and upskilling in UK standards.

Collaborative and supportive work environment.
