About the job
Salary: £45,718 - £48,710 a year plus £3,203 car benefit a year and £3,500 market supplement a year
Hours per week: 37
Contract type: Permanent
We're searching for someone to join our team as a Senior Mechanical Engineer, bringing expertise in Mechanical Services Engineering design to help us deliver exceptional projects. This role involves conducting design and calculations for various building systems (ventilation, public health, heating, cooling) to comply with the building regulations and relevant design standards. You will also be involved in the management and inspections of the work on site. You'll work closely with both internal teams and external partners, with hands-on involvement in contract administration, as well as managing contractor performance to ensure project standards are upheld.
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you'll use your technical knowledge to produce schematics and drawings using CAD / 3D modelling software, monitor site conditions, and undertake site visits to verify quality and safety standards. You'll also actively participate in meetings, both within and beyond the Borough, contributing to project planning and progress updates. This role provides an opportunity to apply your expertise in design, project management, planning supervision, compliance with CDM regulations, and asbestos regulations, while supporting us in delivering quality service and an inclusive environment.
Please note this role does not attract sponsorship.
About you
We're looking for a candidate with a background in Mechanical Services Engineering and ideally a degree in Building Services Engineering or an equivalent qualification. You'll have experience in contract administration and working as a project manager, along with solid familiarity with the legislative requirements and industry standards, such as CDM regulations. You're capable of carrying out precise calculations and designing solutions that meet Building Control standards, as well as producing CAD drawings, schematics and schedules.
Your skill set includes negotiating and influencing stakeholders to achieve project goals. You're organised, adaptable, and efficient, with the ability to handle multiple priorities to meet deadlines. Building effective relationships comes naturally to you, and you're as comfortable engaging with team members as you are managing contractor performance on-site. A strong sense of fairness, an ability to identify and address discriminatory practices, and a commitment to fostering an inclusive work environment round out your profile.
If you're ready to bring your expertise to a team that values precision, quality, and teamwork, we'd love to hear from you. Join us to make a meaningful impact in Mechanical Services Engineering, and grow alongside professionals who share your passion for excellence and innovation!
This is a public facing role so you'll need to show off your fluency in speaking and writing English.
