The Opportunity: Mechanical Design Engineer to join our growing MEP (Building Services) team based in our Plymouth office.

About The Business: It’s a fantastic time to become part of Stantec’s MEP division. Our engineers are experts in creating high-performing, sustainable environments. We work across all major sectors, from commercial and residential to heritage and industrial, delivering intelligent design that enhances the built environment and supports our clients’ net-zero ambitions. Our Plymouth office offers a dynamic base for delivering transformative projects across the UK and beyond.

From this location, we’ve played a pivotal role in some of the UK’s most forward-thinking infrastructure and development projects. Notable achievements include work on large-scale energy transmission projects, refurbishment and new-build extensions of civic spaces, and large-scale retail and mixed-use developments.

You’ll be joining a highly motivated and collaborative team of engineers who are passionate about delivering sustainable, innovative solutions. You will lead the day-to-day technical delivery of electrical design services on multi-disciplinary building projects and oversee the production of high-quality design deliverables, including specifications, drawings, and schedules.

You will support the commercial success of your projects through timely invoicing, WIP management, and workload/resource planning. You will mentor junior team members, including graduates and apprentices, and play a key role in their career development.

You will be an experienced Mechanical Engineer with a passion for delivering sustainable solutions for your clients and will have the following:

• 
  
• Proven experience as a Mechanical Engineer in the UK, ideally with a track record of delivering both electrical and M&E solutions across varied building sectors.
