Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

A leading industrial HVAC systems and solutions company require a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with knowledge and experience of building services to join their in-house Engineering Team.

For this newly-defined role they are looking for someone who can act as a strong number two to the Design Director and provide coaching and mentoring to an apprentice design engineer.

Your focus will be on mechanical design as the company has a separate dedicated Electrical Design Team, although you will be working with them on multi-disciplinary projects.

This is an exciting time to be joining them as they are continuing to expand their service offerings, developing their own product range, responding to an ever-evolving regulatory environment, and the development of bespoke solutions to meet specific customer needs means that your ideas will turn into a reality.

Their site in Bromsgrove is easily reached by both road (2 minutes from the A38) and public transport (few minutes walk from Bromsgrove train station).

You will be involved in designing HVAC solutions to suit specific customer specifications and requirements. This will include all necessary design calculations such as airflow, pipe and duct sizing, pressure drops, etc.

In return they are willing to pay an attractive rate to either an on payroll (as a FTC) or off payroll individual which will be negotiable based on experience. There would be the option to convert into a permanent role in the future, together with a personalised induction and personal development plan, and career progression opportunities within the company in the long-term.

Applications are invited from experienced Mechanical Design Engineers, Mechanical Designers, and with the following attributes:

• Knowledge and experience of building services (ideally ventilation but not essential)
• Strong industrial HVAC knowledge
• Understanding of the manufacturing process, ideally having worked for a manufacturer rather than exclusively consultancies
• Customer-facing skills and ability to manage client expectations
• Able to use CAD (the company currently uses AutoCAD 2D mainly but are happy to listen to any case from incoming candidate to use different software)
• Proven track record of successfully completed full lifecycle of projects from concept through to final design and installation

We are keen to find mechanical engineers with a real passion for fine detail and a completer-finisher approach to design. You will need to be self-motivated to solve problems independently as well as the ability work within a technical team, and be comfortable working on several projects simultaneously.

There will be site visits to customers across the UK when required, likely to be 1-2 per month but will be project-dependent, so a driving licence would be beneficial.
