Mechanical Design Engineer - Decarbonisation

We have a rare opportunity to join a fledgeling building services engineering start-up, who provide design consultancy on decarbonisation projects from domestic to utility scale, with a focus on the integration of Heat Pumps and other low carbon technologies.

Widely regarded as one of the most experienced heat pump system design teams in the UK, they are the team that other organisations turn to when they cannot solve their heat pump system issues. They have worked on all manner of projects from the largest heat pump system in the UK right down to domestic properties.

As a small team, you will work on and be exposed to all aspects of heat pump system design and learn from the best in the industry. In exchange they ask a lot of their engineers, they don't micromanage and expect you to manage your own projects.

What are they looking for?

As a small design consultancy, the value is in their team. Applicants must have the ability to work and think independently, taking responsibility for a variety of projects whilst contributing to the development of the company.

Location

Birmingham - the office is very close to Birmingham New Street Station.
