Job Description

AECOM Spain's Building Engineering team delivers expert solutions to international clients, combining technical excellence with global reach.

Our engineers lead the design of MEP systems — including mechanical, electrical, public health, fire protection, and telecom — ensuring buildings are safe, comfortable, and sustainable. We embrace world class methodologies and technologies, including information rich Building Information Modelling (BIM), energy modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to facilitate more efficient ways of working and design at all stages of the project life-cycle.

As part of our continued growth, we are looking to hire an inspirational MEP Project & Design Manager to work closely with clients and lead the delivery of high-quality construction projects.

We are seeking a qualified engineer (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Technologies, Energy or similar) with proven experience in designing MEP installations for various building types — such as hotels, offices, airports, metro/train stations, residential developments — both in Spain and internationally.

You should have solid knowledge of local and international regulations, and experience coordinating MEP or Building Services disciplines in medium to large-scale projects. Fluency in both Spanish and English is essential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and support a multidisciplinary MEP team to deliver high-quality building and infrastructure projects, ensuring client satisfaction and technical excellence.
• Deliver, review and approve engineering solutions.
• Act as the key liaison between the client and AECOM, ensuring effective communication and strong, long-term relationships.
• Ensure project goals are achieved on time and within budget.
• Plan and schedule project activities in coordination with the Planning Engineer.
• Identify project changes and support the Project Manager with technical justification.
• Develop and maintain strong working relationships with other disciplines, such as Architecture and Structural Engineering.
• Continuously enhance technical expertise within the team and individually.

What we offer:

• A hybrid working model (2–3 days/week in the Barcelona office, depending on project needs).
• Flexible working hours to support work-life balance.
• The opportunity to grow your career within a global company, collaborating with key stakeholders across AECOM's international network.
• A very positive and collaborative working environment, where teamwork and mutual support are part of our culture.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial Technologies, Energy Engineering or a related discipline.
• Proven experience in designing MEP installations from concept to completion, with direct client interaction.
• Fluent in English, Spanish, and ideally Catalan, with excellent communication skills in both written reports and oral presentations.
• Strong technical understanding of electrical or mechanical engineering, and solid awareness of other disciplines involved in multidisciplinary projects.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate successfully with design teams both nationally and internationally.
• Experience in construction environments is a plus.
• Relevant experience in Building Services or MEP design across various building types.
• Proactive, decisive, and able to take initiative independently.
