Job Description
Associate Director (Mechanical) - London - £65K 13% Pension, BUPA circa 20% Bonus
Human Capital Solutions is working on a unique opportunity in the market to source an Associate Director, to play a key role in leading and developing a newly formed M&E Design & Projects team, within a leading global Property Consultancy.
A relatively new M&E division that sits alongside an established and hugely successful M&E Asset Engineering team (TDD, Dilapidations, M&E Surveying) and will look to mirror its success. M&E is seen as a huge part of their future growth strategy and has the full backing of the board to grow its numbers and revenues.
The role will see you focus on delivering a range of M&E Design projects across their large portfolio of blue-chip clients across a range of sectors including Commercial, Retail Industrial, Residential, Healthcare, Leisure and more.
The role will be hands on delivering projects and will involve working with the senior management to build and grow the M&E Design & Projects team. You will be expected to be client facing and be at a level where you are comfortable delivering end to end projects independently.
Candidates should have been exposed to a variation of client facing situations and be comfortable with business development.
Although Business Development will form a key part of the role in due course, projects are leveraged via internal company networking with the M&E Asset Engineering, Project Management, Building Surveying teams, picking up projects from within the clients existing portfolio/client base, making winning work as straightforward as it possibly can be.
In these early stages the majority of the detailed design work will be outsourced until the team has grown and becomes capable of delivering its own designs, the role will therefore involve managing third party design consultancies, performance specification, peer review and project management.
The role will change as the team grows and in addition to client development and delivery/management of projects, will see you take on full design team management.
Key responsibilities year 1:
- Strong project management skills in delivering plant replacement and office refurbishment projects
- Good understanding of building services generally
- Able to provide commercial advise to clients
- Experienced in specification write up and good understanding of building services construction (dealing with contractors etc)
- Good interpersonal & client facing skills
- Good understanding of fee calculation and fee proposal write up
- Ability to develop business by creating relationships with 'internal clients'
- Ambition to lead and develop a team
- Design led engineer with previous design experience in a traditional consultancy ideally
Essentially, a huge career opportunity for an individual who has strong technical experience and has demonstrated confidence in dealing with a variation of client facing situations.
The successful candidate will hold a key position with the M&E Design & Projects group as it grows and develops. The role will give you an opportunity to gain an understanding of the commercial property sector that will set you apart from your peers, whilst providing a technical and commercial challenge to keep your career development on track, within a team where there are no barriers to your career progression.
Joining the team at this early stage will expose you to an open career path through to a Director position and beyond and would therefore suit an ambitious individual who is looking to develop their career within a globally recognised brand.
Alongside a competitive salary you will receive a top-level package and a bonus structure that is unrivalled in the industry.

Quality of delivery, quality of staff, innovative projects, and a great company culture. These are the founding principles of this multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy based near Liverpool Street.
Quality runs deep through the practice, and every project is overseen by a director all the way through the various RIBA stages. They produce quality designs that are low in energy and carbon, are properly coordinated and, actually fit within the space that was allocated by the client.
In terms of recruitment, they only employ permanent staff with stable employment histories, as they would prefer to turn work away rather than employing average engineers to just churn out poor quality designs.
Innovation exists across everything they do, they analyse every completed project, compare how the building is performing in use, and then use building performance engineering to improve the next project. They also continuously research and invest in new and emerging technologies, in order to make their existing software, processes or templates more efficient.
And, they also adopt a bold approach to building design, never shying away from the opportunity of trying something totally new, to solve an issue or overcome a challenge. Recent examples include their use of stone bearing masonry rather than steel, their investment in R&D into the use of advanced phase change materials or their ability to use CLT on larger, complex structures.
In terms of culture, the founding partners remain hands on and actively encourage all employees to make suggestions on how things can be improved. They operate an open plan studio environment, with MEP Engineers siting alongside the structural engineers, civil engineers, and BIM staff, which ensures constant collaboration. They have weekly and monthly social activities, and provide all staff with an annual bonus, and an annual salary review and increase.
As an Mechanical Engineer, you'll get involved in designing and modelling a variety of low carbon, interesting buildings such as theatres, museums, galleries, schools, castles, cinemas, offices, churches, universities, and data centres.
You'll work as part of a friendly, experienced, and supportive team of around 30 engineers on one off projects, typically from concept all the way through to construction.
