Does this sound like you? In which case, we’d love you to apply for this role.
The role
Working within our Energy UK business you will be part of a team of mechanical engineering professionals with several years of experience preferably in the energy industry. The role will entail providing the necessary design justification to ensure design solutions are compliant with safety and regulatory requirements. You will develop integrated design solutions to satisfy client technical specifications and check the engineering designs performed by others for their relevance and adequacy of engineering substantiation.

You’ll enjoy working closely with major clients on a range of demanding issues whilst mentoring graduate colleagues to preserve the high standards that we’re proud of. You will provide technical guidance and impart knowledge to other engineers within the team. You will either be a chartered engineer yourself or be ready to apply yourself so you will be able to provide guidance for others to attain the professional status of CEng with the IMechE.
You don’t just tackle these things alone. You enjoy discussing and agreeing how to solve complex issues with your colleagues. And overall, you get satisfaction from building relationships, with clients and with colleagues.

- Teamwork and Leadership qualities
- An appreciation of project and client management
- An understanding of the fundamental factors which contribute to business success
- Liaising with clients and project teams to prepare technical specifications for the design of the projects they work on, and assist if required the reviews of others.
- Help develop in-house technical standards and specifications where necessary.
- Assist or lead the development of project specific engineering solutions.
- Liaising with Project Managers to oversee the cost and time constraints of all process inputs to projects undertaken by the Mechanical team.
- Provide robust audit trails for all design decisions and manage change of design through the company or client commercial/contract change control procedures through their appointed project line management.
- Experience of working within another highly regulated industry would be highly advantageous.
