• Managing and mentoring junior engineers while working closely with project managers, planners, subcontractors, suppliers and design teams to support successful project delivery.

• Reviewing mechanical designs, specifications and technical information to ensure compliance with project, client and regulatory requirements.

• Coordinating mechanical activities with other engineering disciplines to identify interfaces, resolve technical challenges and maintain programme requirements.

• Driving a strong safety culture and ensuring mechanical works are delivered in accordance with health and safety legislation, project requirements and company standards.

• Identifying opportunities for innovative engineering solutions, modern methods of construction and continuous improvement throughout the project lifecycle.

• Monitoring quality and technical performance, identifying risks and ensuring appropriate actions are implemented.

• Supporting testing, commissioning and project close-out activities, including quality assurance, technical documentation and handover.

What we're looking for:

• A degree, HNC/HND or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services or a related engineering discipline, together with relevant experience delivering mechanical engineering packages on large-scale projects.

• Experience within major infrastructure, energy, utilities, power, industrial or similarly complex engineering environments would be advantageous.

• Strong technical knowledge of mechanical systems, installation methodologies and commissioning processes.

• Experience coordinating engineering activities across multidisciplinary teams, subcontractors and supply-chain partners.

• Strong leadership skills, with the ability to support, mentor and guide other members of the engineering team.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to build effective working relationships across a complex project environment.

• A strong commitment to safety, quality and engineering excellence.

• A proactive, collaborative and solutions-focused approach, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and technically demanding environment.
