• Review drawings, technical submissions and contractor proposals to ensure compliance with design intent.
• Liaise with clients, contractors, consultants and other project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineers and contribute to the development of the wider team.
• Manage project deadlines and deliver high-quality design work while working remotely.

• The opportunity to take ownership of technically challenging building services projects.
• A senior-level role with scope to influence design quality and project delivery.
• A collaborative working environment with opportunities for professional development.
• The flexibility to manage your workload while delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
