ME Engineers is an international MEP and technology systems consulting engineering firm who provide engineering solutions for large scale, complicated and fast paced projects worldwide. Our clientele includes architects, developers, universities, and others who demand excellence from their consultants. Our Manchester office is part of a global network of 17 offices, giving you the opportunity to work locally while being connected to international projects.

At ME we highly value building and sustaining client relationships through successful partnering with architects and owners. Our long‑term repeat business with some of the world’s most prestigious design firms is a testament to the success of our philosophy. We encourage and foster out‑of‑the‑box, high‑level thinking and employ cutting‑edge strategies including state‑of‑the‑art sustainable design techniques.

Our Manchester office is new – but we’re already making waves.

The pace has been fast, the standards high, and the projects demanding. We’ve felt the pressure, adapted quickly, and come out stronger, with a solid core team of ten who’ve built something special: a foundation of trust, collaboration, and shared ambition.

Now, we’re looking for a Mechanical Associate to join this core group. We need someone who wants to help shape our next chapter, lead from the front, and grow alongside a team that genuinely cares about the work and each other.

• 
  
• Leading mechanical design on a range of high‑profile and technically challenging projects.
  
• Guiding and mentoring engineers, helping them grow and achieve their best.
  
• Collaborating across disciplines to deliver creative, coordinated solutions.
  
• Building lasting relationships with clients based on integrity and technical excellence.
  
• Contributing to the culture and direction of a growing, people‑focused office.
  

You’re an experienced mechanical engineer who enjoys the mix of leadership, design, and collaboration. You take pride in what you deliver, but you also value the people and relationships that make great projects possible.

You probably bring:

• 
  
• Chartered (or near‑chartered) status.
  
• Experience leading projects through all stages of design.
  
• Happy to continue to take a hands‑on approach to projects and elements of design.
  
• A proactive, team‑oriented mindset.
  
• The confidence to guide, the humility to listen, and the drive to make things better.
  

We’re deliberate about how we work.

We’ve taken a less relaxed approach to remote work, not because we don’t trust people, but because flexibility is something earned through mutual respect and accountability. We value being together, learning from each other, and growing as a team.

• 
  
• Competitive salary (to be based on qualifications, skills and experience)
  
• Pension
  
• Private Health insurance
  
• Life insurance
  
• Educational and professional development opportunities
  

Short stay ad‑hoc UK and international travel may be required (typically Europe and Middle East).

ME is an employee‑owned corporation. Our values and business focus are centred around not only our clients, but also providing growth opportunities and a fantastic work environment for our employees. This opening provides an opportunity to not only grow your own personal career, but also be a part of our exciting and growing family.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or age.
