Mechanical Design Engineer | Retail Fit-Out |
A well-established fit-out and M&E contractor based in West Yorkshire is looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join their growing design team. They're principal contractor for Asda and Tesco, deliver all the M&E for M&S, and have long-standing relationships with a roster of household-name UK retailers.
You'll be working on the mechanical design across a portfolio of live retail fit-out, refurbishment, and asset replacement projects, with a strong HVAC focus. The business has a steady pipeline of repeat work rather than one-off projects, so the design team can actually plan ahead rather than firefighting from one job to the next.
What you'll be doing
* Leading mechanical design from concept through to construction across HVAC, ventilation, and associated services for retail and commercial fit-out schemes
* Producing design calculations, schematics, and Revit models, working closely with the electrical design team and the wider project delivery function
* Coordinating with consultants, sub-contractors, and on-site teams to make sure the design is buildable, commercially sound, and delivered to programme
What we're after
* A solid background in mechanical building services design, ideally with HVAC as your primary discipline
* Working knowledge of CIBSE guides, current Building Regs, and relevant British Standards, with software exposure to Revit, AutoCAD MEP, IES, or Hevacomp
* Experience in fit-out, main contractor, or consultancy environments, with a genuine interest in the retail sector and the pace that comes with it
Why it's worth a look
The business is principal contractor and M&E specialist for some of the biggest names on the UK high street, so you'll be working on schemes for clients you actually recognise. The team is properly resourced, the pipeline is strong, and there's a clear progression path for engineers who want to develop technically or move toward design management down the line.
