The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and client-focused mechanical engineer to join our critical systems team, and to play a leading role in ensuring the successful delivery of innovative mechanical design solutions on some of the most notable and large-scale data centre projects in the world.

You will collaborate within our critical systems team and work closely with colleagues of various disciplines to help drive and manage the delivery of technically excellent and profitable projects.

The role entails your being very closely involved within the design process and production of design deliverables, managing your immediate team of engineers. You will monitor budgets and programme, checking designs and communicating with the wider project and client team.

You have proven ability in producing low energy, creative design solutions, preparing specifications and project reports, carrying out site inspections and surveys, and detail design development and crucially – you have a passion for creative and intuitive design.

Given the collaborative and client focussed nature of this role, excellent communication skills and experience of using your initiative to overcome challenges are essential.
