Job description

We are not a contractor or installer. We are the consulting engineers who assess the problem, design the solution, write the specifications, and oversee delivery. Our work combines chemical and mechanical engineering - from workplace exposure assessment and DSEAR risk analysis through to full system design, dispersion modelling, and commissioning support., You will work under the guidance of senior engineers to deliver environmental control system designs from concept through to completion. This is a consulting engineering role - the primary outputs are engineering calculations, risk assessments, technical reports, and design specifications. We have a dedicated CAD team; drawing production is not your core function.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Engineering calculations for LEV and process HVAC systems (airflow, pressure drop, thermal loads, exposure benchmarking)
  • ite surveys and audits to assess existing systems and gather design information
  • Risk assessment work including COSHH exposure assessment and DSEAR under senior supervision
  • Technical report writing and design specifications for clients
  • Client liaison - attending design meetings, presenting findings, managing technical relationships
  • Supporting project delivery from concept through to commissioning and handover, Our environment is different from a large consultancy. There's no layer of project managers between you and the client. You won't have a team of 20 around you. What you will have is direct responsibility, genuine autonomy, and senior engineers who will invest time in your development.

Our most successful engineers share certain qualities: they take ownership of problems without waiting to be told, they communicate clearly under pressure, they're motivated by the quality of their work rather than their job title, and they have the patience to develop genuine expertise in a specialist discipline.

Our most successful hires have come from a range of backgrounds including chemical engineering, process engineering, and mechanical engineering. What matters more than your specific discipline is how you think, how you communicate, and whether you take pride in producing work that stands up to scrutiny., Job Title: Mechanical Design Engineer Location: Sheffield About the Company Based in Sheffield, this established engineering business specialises in the design, manufacture, and installation of structural movement control systems and bespoke mechanical solutions for..., Comissioning Engineer - (Wastewater Treatment Projects)The Role:As Commissioning Engineer, you will work as part of the Framework team to deliver commissioning services on behalf of the company.
