Senior Mechanical Engineer - Building Services

Location: Cambridge (Hybrid Working)
Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 + Excellent Benefits

Join A Leading MEP Consultancy Delivering Exceptional Projects

Representing a leading MEP consultancy based in Cambridge. Ambitious and growing Building Services (MEP) consultancy delivering high-quality engineering solutions across the UK. Due to continued project wins, they are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer who is capable of leading projects independently from concept through to completion.

This is an opportunity to join a business where your work genuinely makes an impact. You'll work closely with the Directors, lead prestigious projects, and have a clear pathway to becoming a Principal Engineer within 2-3 years.

Having worked closely with the hiring directors personally, I can confidently say they are approachable, supportive, and genuinely invest in the people they bring into the business. With exciting growth plans underway, the company will also be moving into a fantastic new office space in Cambridge within the next month, creating an even better collaborative working environment.

The Projects

You'll be working on technically interesting, design-led developments including:

  • The fit out of a heritage building in Cambridge, transforming it into a luxury recording studio.
  • A mixed-use commercial and residential fit out spread across five floors.
  • A residential new build development in Cambridge.
  • A diverse portfolio of high-end building services projects across the capital.

The Role

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you'll be trusted to manage your own projects and act as the lead mechanical engineer throughout the design process.

Responsibilities

  • Lead mechanical building services projects from feasibility through to completion.
  • Produce detailed mechanical designs and specifications and calculations.
  • Carry out mechanical design calculations including heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic water and drainage systems.
  • Coordinate with clients, architects and the wider design team.
  • Attend client and design team meetings.
  • Review technical submissions and ensure designs meet current UK regulations and industry standards.
  • Mentor junior engineers where appropriate.
  • Deliver projects on time and within budget.

This role requires someone who is comfortable undertaking mechanical design calculations, not simply producing drawings.

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • UK Building Services consultancy experience.
  • Strong mechanical design experience across building services projects.
  • Ability to independently lead and manage projects.
  • Competent in carrying out mechanical engineering calculations.
  • Excellent communication and client-facing skills.
  • Full right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available).

What's On Offer

  • £45,000 - £55,000 salary.
  • Hybrid working.
  • Clear progression route to Principal Engineer within 2-3 years.
  • Exposure to unique, technically challenging projects.
  • Supportive leadership team with genuine career development.
  • Brand-new, modern Cambridge office opening within the next month.
  • Opportunity to play a key role in the continued growth of a respected MEP consultancy.

If you're looking for a role where you'll have autonomy, work on standout London projects, and progress your career quickly within a growing consultancy, I'd be keen to tell you more. Please email your CV to [email protected] or apply here.
