New Today

Position: Mechanical Design Engineer
Location: London (with Remote Working available)
Salary: £60,000 + Package
Got a basic grounding in mechanical design and want to be mentored by some of the best in the low-carbon MEP space? Want to work on real-world projects that are cutting carbon in hospitals, schools, and public buildings across the UK? Let’s talk.
We’re working with a fast-growing, forward-thinking renewables contractor (circa £10M turnover) that’s delivering high-impact decarbonization schemes across government frameworks. Typical projects range from £2M–£5M and involve replacing old boiler systems and MEP infrastructure with cleaner, more energy-efficient alternatives — including air source heat pumps, low-temperature heating systems, and upgraded mechanical plant.
They’re now looking for an Intermediate or Trainee Mechanical Design Engineer to support their in-house design team. This is an ideal opportunity for someone early in their career who wants hands-on project exposure and structured progression in a business that’s scaling rapidly and invests heavily in its people.
Role/Responsibilities:
·      Supporting the mechanical design team on low-carbon retrofit projects
·      Assisting with drawings, schematics, and basic calculations
·      Helping to carry out site surveys and gather existing installation data
·      Learning to use design tools such as Hevacomp, IES, and AutoCAD
·      Working with senior engineers to ensure designs meet client and project requirements
·      Coordinating with internal electrical teams and project managers
·      Getting involved in client meetings and technical reviews as experience grows
The ideal candidate:
·      Has a basic understanding of mechanical systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and plumbing)
·      Some experience using AutoCAD or similar design software
·      Either holds or is working towards an HNC/HND or degree in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering
·      A strong interest in sustainability and low-carbon technologies
·      Organised, enthusiastic, and keen to learn from experienced engineers
What’s on offer:
·      Competitive starting salary with regular reviews as you progress
·      Full support and mentoring from experienced design leads
·      Friendly and supportive team culture
·      20 days holiday + bank holidays
·      Flexible working arrangements between home and site locations
