Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer required for expanding Consultancy in Kent


My client was established in 1987 and is now a well-established and highly successful Building Services Consultancy, employing in excess of 20 staff.

The Consultancy has gained significant and valuable project experience across most work sectors. However, it is within the healthcare, laboratory and education sectors, in particular, that they have achieved its reputation for consistently delivering a quality service.

This fact is borne out by the impressive portfolio of clients and projects, a major proportion of which is repeat business and term agreements. Selected NHS Trusts / PFI Hospitals they can count among regular clients :

• Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust
• Barts Health NHS Trust
• St Mary's Hospital
• Imperial College
• Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
• Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust
• King's College Hospital NHS Foundation

Project values range from £2,000 to £50 million (M&E value) - typically between £1 and 2 million. They have a number of regular 'contract' outworkers so usually deal with overspill using these trusted contacts, however, due to a former director retiring at the end of May they are very much in need of a permanently employed Mechanical Design Engineer to supplement their team as they look to grow the business following the internal management buyout completed mid 2016.

Following this MBO, the company has ventured into provided MEP design services into the commercial, leisure and residential sectors. The successful candidate will need to be capable of performing a client facing role and managing a small multi-disciplinary team.

This will include :

• Monitoring project costs
• Maintaining project deliverables
• Coordination with external (architectural, structural, PQS, CDM, etc.) and internal (CAD, Revit, electrical, public health) disciplines.

They provide design consultancy from concept through to detailed design and construction phase. You must be able to work in the UK without restriction.
