The Opportunity Are you a Mechanical Engineer with a couple of years under your belt, looking to take the next step in your career? Whether you’ve spent the last two years behind a desk in a Design Consultancy or on-site in Contracting, Branta are looking for a versatile engineer to join a busy Project Delivery team. This role offers the perfect "bridge" for an engineer who wants to move away from pure CAD work or pure site-supervision and into a full-lifecycle Project Engineering role. You will be given the autonomy to manage your own smaller schemes while receiving direct mentorship on large-scale infrastructure projects. Key Accountabilities \* Project Ownership: Manage mechanical building services solutions for office refurbishments, laboratory fit-outs, and infrastructure upgrades from initial concept to final handover. \* Design & Specification: Prepare mechanical designs, specifications, and tender documents. (Design candidates will apply their technical skills; Contracting candidates will learn the formal design process). \* Sustainability: Drive energy-efficient solutions and support carbon-reduction goals across the portfolio. \* Financial Awareness: Assist in producing feasibility reports, tracking project budgets, and ensuring cost-effective delivery. \* Compliance & Safety: Apply CDM 2015 regulations and CIBSE guidelines to all work, ensuring high standards of Health & Safety. \* Contractor Management: Monitor the performance of external contractors on-site to ensure work meets design specifications and quality standards. \* Commissioning: Participate in the commissioning of mechanical systems to ensure they meet operational requirements. The Person Experience & Skills \* The Ŗ-Year Milestone": You will likely have around 2 years of post-qualification experience in either a building services design office or a mechanical contracting environment. \* Technical Knowledge: A solid grasp of HVAC, pipework, and thermal dynamics. Familiarity with Building Regulations and CIBSE standards. \* Software Skills: Proficient in AutoCAD. Exposure to MEPWorx, Hevacomp, or Revit is a significant advantage. \* Problem Solving: A practical approach to engineering challenges—you can identify an issue and work methodically toward a solution. \* Communication: Ability to write clear technical reports and communicate effectively with both site trades and senior stakeholders. Attributes \* Inquisitive: A strong desire to understand how buildings work and how to optimize them for energy efficiency. \* Adaptable: Comfortable moving between a professional office environment and active construction sites. \* Collaborative: A team player who is happy to support senior engineers while also taking the initiative on individual tasks. Qualifications \* Essential: A Degree or HND/Level 4+ qualification in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering, or equivalent. \* Development: We actively support candidates working towards Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered (CEng) status, not essential. Why Join Us? The client offers a rare opportunity to see your designs come to life. Unlike a traditional consultancy where you may never visit the site, or a contractor where you don't influence the design, this role allows you to own the entire process.
