Associate / Associate Director Mechanical Critical Systems Engineer

The Team

Our dedicated Critical Systems team play a key role in making mission critical 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. We work closely with our clients to develop, improve and deploy their standard ‘template’ designs across the world and so have the unique opportunity to influence the future of data centre design. Our team also works on many unique data centre projects.

The team are a source of world leading expertise – and offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, and professional excellence.

The Role

Join us as we move to our new city centre office and embark on a hyperscale data centre project in the North East. This expansion builds on the incredible successes and growth of our European-wide Critical Systems team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and client focused Associate or Associate Director Mechanical Engineer to join our Critical Systems team in our Newcastle office, and to play a leading role in ensuring the successful delivery of innovative mechanical design solutions for some of the most exciting and high-profile projects in the Data Centre and Critical Systems fields, both in the UK and internationally.

The role will include managing and supporting mechanical engineers in delivering designs, maintaining fees and schedules, reviewing designs, and communicating with the broader project and client teams. You will also be expected to be involved in the design process and produce design deliverables as needed.

You will develop new and nurture existing outstanding client relationships that maximise satisfaction and ensure repeat business and will use your wealth of expertise and determination to manage, motivate and inspire less experienced engineers.

You will also support and be supported by the senior management staff within the team.

The Skills

A Chartered Engineer, educated to degree level in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering (MEng, BEng, or equivalent) you have gained significant experience in a mechanical engineering role within the design field, preferably in a data centre/critical systems context.

Given the client-facing nature of this role, you must also have a proven customer and quality-focussed approach.

You have extensive experience in the Data Centre field, including a strong understanding of the principles of Data Centre design and delivery across various projects. In your most recent position, you have consistently demonstrated your ability to manage multiple large-scale projects and less senior engineers to deliver to, and exceed, client expectations.

Crucially – you have a passion for creative and intuitive design.
