Create Solutions that will enable a better tomorrow
To further our mechanical capability, we are seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This is an exciting opportunity to oversee the delivery of complex and high-profile projects across a range of subsectors, including highways, rail, aviation, data centres and buildings within infrastructure.
While our portfolio has a clear focus on major infrastructure projects, we are looking for individuals who bring broad mechanical engineering services expertise and are eager to work on diverse, multidisciplinary projects that shape the built environment.
Your key responsibilities will be:
- Overseeing the design and delivery of mechanical engineering solutions across a variety of projects.
- Developing and review mechanical designs, calculations, specifications, reports, and technical documentation.
- Coordinating with multidisciplinary teams including civil, structural, architectural, electrical, fire, and systems engineers.

- Supporting design reviews, technical assurance processes, and risk management activities.
- Mentoring and support junior engineers and technicians.
- Contribute to project planning, programme management, and resource forecasting.
Your skills. Our team. Together we design the future.
The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners, or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.
On top of that, you’ll have:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
- Achieved Chartered Engineer (CEng) or be working towards it
- In-depth knowledge of mechanical systems including HVAC, smoke control, natural ventilation, CHW, LTHW and refrigerant-based systems
- Experience working through all project stages from feasibility and concept design to detailed design and construction support
- Solid knowledge of British Standards and Building Regulations
- Knowledge of rail standards and experience delivering mechanical engineering designs for major infrastructure projects
- Good knowledge of IES software
