Intermediate to Senior Mechanical Engineer - Building Services
London | Hybrid: 3 days remote, 2 days from office

Specialising in Data Centres & Mission Critical ojects

I've just had a great meeting with a boutique consultancy that's been quietly shaping the future of building services since 1988. With a compact team of around 25 experts, they've earned a solid reputation in the data centre and mission critical space, delivering complex projects with a calm, considered approach.

What makes them different? It's the culture. Speaking with the Director, it's clear why people rarely leave-no micromanagement, just trust and flexibility. They hire capable, driven engineers and give them the space to thrive. Its a great environment for those who value both technical challenge and work-life balance-especially professionals with young families.

Why they're hiring:
They've got more work than they can take on-literally turning projects away. So, they're on the lookout for a Mechanical Engineer (Intermediate to early Senior level) who's keen to step up and support on high-impact projects.

What they're looking for:
3+ years of Mechanical design experience in a Building Services consultancy.

A degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar.

Data centre experience is a bonus, but not essential. The right attitude and willingness to learn are more important.

Strong communication skills and a proactive approach.

Comfortable visiting sites and open to developing into a client-facing role (with full support and mentoring).

What's on offer:
The chance to work on cutting-edge data centre and mission critical projects, including work in the Middle East.

A flexible hybrid setup-3 work from home, 2 days from office (with room to flex).

A flat, collaborative team that supports your growth and values your input.

Real exposure, real responsibility, and real trust from day one.

Sound like you? If you're ready for a role where you'll be challenged, trusted, and supported, this could be the ideal next step in your career.
