Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (Building Services)
London | Hybrid | £60,000 – £70,000 + route to Equity Director
We’ve worked with this business multiple times and we’re going again.
They’ve just secured another wave of project wins (circa £1m in fees) and are now at the point where they need someone strong on the mechanical side to come in and help drive things forward.
This is not just another Senior role. This is an opportunity to come in, carve out a space, and grow into an Equity Director position as the London team builds.
Also worth being clear upfront – This is Building Services. Live project delivery. Not product design.
The role
You’ll work directly with the Director and quickly become the go-to person on the mechanical side.
Day to day:
- Mechanical design across building services projects
- Technical reviews and coordination
- Client-facing work
- Supporting delivery at detailed design and construction stages alongside contractors
Beyond that, this is where it separates itself:
- You’ll help shape client relationships
- You’ll get involved in winning work
- You’ll play a key role in building out the London offering
There is also opportunity for international travel, supporting projects and clients across their wider portfolio.
If you want to move towards leadership, this gives you a genuine platform to do it.
The projects
A strong mix of complex work, not just standard commercial:
- Labs and complex fit outs
- Data centres
- Hospitals and healthcare
- Hotels, venues and commercial developments
- UK and international schemes
You’ll build experience across multiple sectors, which is exactly what positions you for Director level longer term.
The business
Established consultancy with a footprint across:
- UK
- Europe
- US
- GCC
Plenty of work already secured, but still at a size where one strong hire can make a real impact.
What they’re looking for
- Mechanical Design experience within Building Services
- Comfortable working at detailed design and delivery stages
- Experience working with contractors or in contractor-led environments
- Able to handle live projects, coordination and client interaction
This suits someone already at Senior level who doesn’t just want the next job, but wants to build something and progress properly.
Why this role stands out
- Clear route to Equity Director, not just a title change
- Real influence over how the London team grows
- Opportunity to work on international projects and travel when required
- Direct access to leadership and decision making
- Strong pipeline already secured
- A business we know well and have placed into successfully
Package
- £60,000 – £70,000, with flexibility for the right person
- Hybrid working, London focused with some time in Peterborough
If you’re looking for a steady Senior role where nothing really changes, this won’t be for you.
If you want to step into something where you can build your own position, grow a team, work internationally, and move towards equity, it’s worth a conversation.
