Senior / Principal / Associate Mechanical Design Engineer
Oxfordshire | Hybrid Working | 9 Day Fortnight | Up to £75k

Looking for a role where you can lead projects, influence clients, and still have a genuine work-life balance?

This is an opportunity to join a growing, design-focused building services consultancy with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality engineering across a diverse range of sectors. With ambitious plans and a close-knit team, they're now looking to appoint a senior mechanical hire to play a key role in their Oxford office.

The Opportunity
This role is ideally suited to someone operating at Principal or Associate level (or a strong Senior ready to step up), who wants more ownership, visibility, and progression.

You'll take the lead on projects, act as a key client contact, and help shape the growth of the team - all within a business that genuinely supports its people.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading mechanical design delivery from concept through to completion
  • Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, building long-term relationships
  • Taking ownership of technical quality, coordination, and project outcomes
  • Mentoring and developing junior engineers
  • Supporting team growth and contributing to winning new work


What They're Looking For

  • Strong experience in mechanical building services design (consultancy)
  • Proven track record delivering projects across sectors such as commercial, residential, education, healthcare, or mixed-use
  • Confident leading projects and engaging directly with clients
  • Strong technical knowledge across HVAC systems and UK regulations
  • Experience mentoring or managing engineers
  • Chartered or working towards chartership (preferred)


Why This Role Stands Out

  • 9-day fortnight - a genuine commitment to work-life balance
  • Enhanced pension contribution
  • Clear pathway to Associate / senior leadership level
  • Opportunity to shape and grow a team
  • Collaborative, down-to-earth culture with no micromanagement
  • Strong focus on training, development, and long-term progression


Whether you're working in the larger corporate companies or a small SME this is certainly one to take note of. Please don't hesitate to apply or get in touch for further info on the email below, we can arrange a confidential conversation anytime to suit you.
