Senior / Principal / Associate Mechanical Design Engineer
Oxfordshire | Hybrid Working | 9 Day Fortnight | Up to £75k
Looking for a role where you can lead projects, influence clients, and still have a genuine work-life balance?
This is an opportunity to join a growing, design-focused building services consultancy with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality engineering across a diverse range of sectors. With ambitious plans and a close-knit team, they're now looking to appoint a senior mechanical hire to play a key role in their Oxford office.
The Opportunity
This role is ideally suited to someone operating at Principal or Associate level (or a strong Senior ready to step up), who wants more ownership, visibility, and progression.
You'll take the lead on projects, act as a key client contact, and help shape the growth of the team - all within a business that genuinely supports its people.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading mechanical design delivery from concept through to completion
Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, building long-term relationships
Taking ownership of technical quality, coordination, and project outcomes
Mentoring and developing junior engineers
Supporting team growth and contributing to winning new work
What They're Looking For
Strong experience in mechanical building services design (consultancy)
Proven track record delivering projects across sectors such as commercial, residential, education, healthcare, or mixed-use
Confident leading projects and engaging directly with clients
Strong technical knowledge across HVAC systems and UK regulations
Experience mentoring or managing engineers
Chartered or working towards chartership (preferred)
Why This Role Stands Out
9-day fortnight - a genuine commitment to work-life balance
Enhanced pension contribution
Clear pathway to Associate / senior leadership level
Opportunity to shape and grow a team
Collaborative, down-to-earth culture with no micromanagement
Strong focus on training, development, and long-term progression
Whether you're working in the larger corporate companies or a small SME this is certainly one to take note of. Please don't hesitate to apply or get in touch for further info on the email below, we can arrange a confidential conversation anytime to suit you.
