We're representing a nationally recognised, award-winning design/build construction firm with a strong reputation across commercial, industrial, and manufacturing sectors. Consistently recognised as a Best Place to Work, this is a business that genuinely invests in its people - from day one through to long-term career development.

They're looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join their growing in-house engineering design team, taking ownership of the full mechanical and plumbing scope across a diverse project portfolio - spanning entertainment venues, controlled environment agriculture, industrial, and large-scale commercial facilities.

You'd be embedded within a collaborative team of engineers and project managers who work closely together from early concept through to construction handover - a genuinely integrated design/build model that's rare in the market.

What you'll be doing

• Leading and managing mechanical and plumbing design from concept through to construction documentation and project turnover
• Applying building codes and ASHRAE calculation methods across a wide variety of building types
• Producing permit and construction documents using Revit and/or AutoCAD
• Coordinating closely with design and construction teams to ensure deliverables meet client requirements
• Supporting project pursuits and helping demonstrate the value of the design/build approach
• Reviewing RFIs, submittals, and addressing field challenges during construction
• Contributing to the development of team standards, procedures, and training programmes

What they're looking for

• 7–20 years of mechanical and/or plumbing design experience
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related field
• Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD
• Strong working knowledge of codes, standards, and design principles for mechanical and plumbing systems
• Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
