* Work with external consultants to ensure technical feasibility, innovation and cost-efficiency
Design & Delivery

* Review technical submissions for buildability, compliance and value for money
* Ensure accurate specification of GSHP, ASHP, PVs, DHN and related energy-saving technologies
* Monitor and review contractor M&E works during construction phase
* Ensure robust digitised record-keeping and golden thread compliance under the Building Safety Act
* Provide post-completion advice on building operation and services maintenance strategy
* Coordinate with architects, engineers, QS and project teams to optimise outcomes
* Build and manage relationships with external consultants, suppliers and statutory authorities (e.g. UKPN, Thames Water)
* Represent MEP interests at internal meetings and ensure consistent technical leadership
Required Experience & Qualifications
* Minimum HNC in Building Services Engineering or equivalent
* Substantial experience delivering London-based residential projects, including high-rise and mid-rise schemes with 50–200+ apartments
* Involvement across all project phases from concept to completion
* Familiarity with both shell & core and fit-out MEP interfaces
* Proven experience working for residential developers, Tier 1/2 contractors, or leading MEP consultants
* Knowledge of UK Building Regulations, especially relating to energy, sustainability and safety
* Strong understanding of low-carbon technologies, energy modelling and overheating solutions
* Commercially astute with strong cost awareness and procurement knowledge
* Excellent communication, project management and coordination skills
* Proficient with relevant digital tools and software (e.g. Revit, AutoCAD, MS Office)
* Ability to operate independently, adapt quickly, and thrive in a start-up environment
* Chartered Engineer status (CIBSE or IET)
* Experience in leading digitisation and BIM workflows
* Exposure to mixed-use and commercial MEP requirements
Why Join Us?
