Senior Associate Mechanical Engineer
Senior Associate Mechanical Engineer - Data Centres
Location: London (Hybrid/Flexible)
A leading Building Services consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Associate Mechanical Engineer to take a key role in delivering technically complex data centre projects across the UK and internationally. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Engineer to step into a leadership role, helping shape mission-critical environments for some of the world's biggest tech and infrastructure clients.
Note: Previous data centre experience is beneficial but not essential. If you have strong mechanical design experience in building services and are eager to step into the data centre space, you will be fully supported.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead the mechanical design and coordination of data centre projects from concept through to detailed design and construction.
* Engage with clients to understand project drivers and present technically sound, commercially viable solutions.
* Drive designs through RIBA Stages 1-4A, ensuring compliance with performance, efficiency, and resilience requirements.
* Work closely with internal and external design teams across multiple disciplines to deliver fully integrated engineering solutions.
* Manage resources, track deliverables, and ensure that deadlines and quality standards are consistently met.
* Review technical documentation from contractors and provide oversight during the construction phase.
* Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical leadership across the team.
* Support the business development team in preparing bids and proposals within the mission-critical/data centre space.
What Were Looking For:
* A degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) with 8-10 years' experience in building services design.
* Strong leadership and project management capabilities with experience overseeing multi-disciplinary teams.
* High proficiency in delivering mechanical systems design across the commercial, healthcare, residential, or similar sectors.
* Desire to move into the data centre sector and develop expertise in this growing area.
* Understanding of RIBA work stages, especially up to Stage 4A (tender).
* Excellent communication skills and confidence working with internal and external stakeholders.
* A working knowledge of related disciplines (electrical, public health, fire protection) is advantageous.
What's in It for You:
* Work on cutting-edge data centre projects without needing prior sector experience.
* Be part of a forward-thinking, collaborative consultancy that prioritises technical growth and innovation.
* Competitive salary and benefits, with clear pathways to Director-level leadership.
* A flexible, supportive work environment that champions wellbeing, mentorship, and professional development.
