Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (Contractor-side) Concept to RIBA Stage 4 London & South East Commercial Fit Out Main Contractor Permanent A growing main contractor in the London and South East commercial office fit out market is strengthening its in-house design capability and is looking for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to lead from the front. Trading for 3.5 years and turning over circa £20m in 2026, the business has built its reputation quickly and now wants the right person to help shape how its mechanical design function develops. This is a contractor-side role with genuine ownership from feasibility and concept through to RIBA Stage 4 technical design. The focus is firmly on delivery: programme, procurement, installability, change control and margin. You will lead mechanical design across multiple projects, coordinate external consultants and design partners, and challenge outputs where needed, including reviewing IES, Revit and Hevacomp information. You will produce feasibility schemes and option studies to support pre-con decisions, and when budgets tighten you will lead value engineering conversations with confidence, presenting practical alternatives that protect performance and quality. You will also support tender and proposal submissions, attend design and client meetings, and produce clear actions, trackers and reporting, working closely with the commercial team on subcontractor tender analysis. They need someone with contractor-side mechanical design experience (D&B, design assist, or delivery-led design), who can evidence project ownership and interface management, and who is confident carrying designs through to Stage 4. You should be comfortable across Cat A, Cat B, turnkey and D&B environments, present well with clients, and able to explain design decisions in commercial terms, not just technical language. Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills are important, alongside a minimum HNC/HND in Building Services Engineering (or equivalent) and typically five or more years relevant experience with D&B exposure. Key points Contractor-side mechanical design lead, concept to RIBA Stage 4 Delivery-led decision making: programme, procurement, installability, change control, margin Commercial fit out focus across London and the South East Mechanical packages typically £250k £1.5m, overall project values up to circa £4m £80,000 £90,000 + package, travel covered/allowance, bonus, 25 days holiday + bank holidays + birthday This won t suit a consultancy-only profile with no contractor-side delivery exposure, or anyone unable to demonstrate ownership beyond producing design outputs. If you want a role where design is judged by what gets built, and you have the scope to shape an in-house mechanical capability within a growing contractor, this is worth a conversation.

Senior / Principal Mechanical Design Engineer - Building Services This dedicated Critical Systems team play a key role in making buildings more energy efficient, sustainable and cost effective to operate. The team works solely in the data centre field, keeping abreast of current best practice while researching breakthrough technologies that shape future trends. As a leader in this market, we were one of the first consultancies to design air optimised data centres and are at the forefront of this cooling strategy, which has resulted in attaining the first ever BREEAM Outstanding rating awarded to a data centre and significantly contributed to others achieving LEED Gold , or even targeting Platinum status. The team are a source of world leading expertise and offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, and professional excellence. Responsibilities: This is an excellent opportunity for a talented Senior / Principal Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Critical Systems team in the London office and to play a key role in ensuring the successful delivery of innovative mechanical design solutions for some of the most exciting and high-profile projects in the Datacentre and Critical Systems fields. As part of the established team of expert engineers, and working closely with colleagues of various disciplines, you will prepare both scheme and detailed engineering designs for major data centre and other critical systems projects. You will also have the opportunity over time to assume greater levels of responsibility and autonomy as your professional skills develop, and will be supported towards chartership. Qualifications: Educated to degree level in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering (MEng or BEng), and having gained relevant experience in a Mechanical Engineering role within a building services context, and having experience of detailed co-ordination with other design disciplines, you are already well versed in the use of relevant design software including CAD and Revit packages. 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. Experience of critical systems is preferred but if you have a good understanding of mechanical engineering concepts and approaches, and are keen to learn, you will be considered. Given the collaborative and client focussed nature of this role, excellent communication skills and experience of using your initiative to overcome challenges are
