Senior / Principal Mechanical Engineer
Options Resourcing Ltd
Mechanical engineering. Big projects. Proper responsibility.
A leading UK infrastructure engineering and advisory business is expanding its Manchester / Liverpool team and is looking for a Senior / Principal Mechanical Engineer to play a key role in the delivery of major engineering programmes.
This isn't a role where you'll spend your days simply checking drawings and waiting for the next project to land.
You'll be expected to think, lead, challenge and engineer — working with clients and multidisciplinary teams to deliver solutions that work in the real world.
Your role
- Lead mechanical engineering and design across complex projects
- Develop designs from feasibility and concept through to detailed design and construction
- Produce and review calculations, specifications, reports and technical documentation
- Take technical ownership of mechanical packages
- Coordinate designs with electrical, civil, structural and wider engineering disciplines
- Work closely with clients, contractors, manufacturers and suppliers
- Attend design reviews, site meetings and technical workshops
- Provide technical leadership and mentoring to engineers and technicians
- Support project planning, bids, proposals and business development
- Help develop engineering standards, processes and best practice
You'll ideally bring:
- Significant mechanical engineering/design experience
- Experience within building services, infrastructure or multidisciplinary engineering
- Strong knowledge of mechanical systems and UK design standards
- Experience delivering technically complex projects
- Degree/HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services or a related discipline
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Experience providing technical guidance to less experienced engineers
- CEng / IEng / working towards Chartership would be advantageous
- Experience with relevant mechanical design and modelling software
Because your next step shouldn't simply mean more emails, more meetings and a bigger spreadsheet.
At Senior / Principal level, you'll have the opportunity to:
Own technical decisions.
Lead projects.
Develop people.
Influence clients.
Shape the future of engineering.
You'll be joining a collaborative multidisciplinary environment working across some of the UK's most important infrastructure programmes, with genuine opportunities for professional development and progression.
