Job Title: Mechanical Design Engineer (Pipework / HVAC / Water)
Location: Birmingham or Hereford (Hybrid / Agile Working)
Salary: £45,000 + Company Car + Benefits
Why This Role?
This is a genuinely flexible engineering role offering an agile working model, where you have full autonomy over how and where you work.
You will join a specialist business delivering critical pipework systems across fire protection and industrial water projects, with involvement across the full lifecycle—from concept through to installation.
If you are looking to move beyond repetitive design work and gain broader project exposure, this role offers that opportunity.
What's On Offer
- £45,000 salary + company car
- Hybrid / agile working (real flexibility, not token)
- Exposure to full project lifecycle (tender → design → delivery)
- Technically varied projects across multiple industries
- Ongoing training and development
- Supportive, close-knit engineering team
The Role
You will design practical, compliant pipework systems that are not only technically sound but also efficient to manufacture and install.
Working closely with commercial and delivery teams, you will play a key role in ensuring designs translate effectively into real-world applications.
What You’ll be Doing
- Designing pipework systems, layouts, and technical drawings
- Supporting projects from tender through to detailed design (DfM)
- Interpreting P&IDs, site data, and client requirements
- Collaborating with engineers, PMs, and site teams
- Contributing to cost-effective design solutions
- Ensuring designs are compliant and buildable
What we’re looking for
- Experience in mechanical or pipework design
- Background in industries such as:
- fire protection, water/wastewater, HVAC, or industrial process
- CAD experience (AutoCAD, Inventor, or similar)
- Understanding of design for manufacture and installation
- Strong practical and problem-solving mindset
Desirable
- Knowledge of LPCB, BS EN 12845, NFPA, or ACOP L8
- Experience with sprinkler or industrial pipework systems
- Exposure to full project lifecycle
