Greater Manchester – Oldham area
Salary up to and around £80,000 + benefits

Looking to take the next step in your mechanical engineering career?

Are you a Senior or Principal Mechanical Engineer with data centre experience who wants to move beyond detailed design and into a more project management-focused role?

An established engineering business operating across the data centre and critical infrastructure sectors is looking for a Lead Mechanical Engineer to support the coordination and delivery of complex, mission-critical projects.

This is an opportunity to use your technical knowledge in a more project-focused position, coordinating design packages, engaging with customers and helping deliver engineering solutions.

What will you be doing?

• Coordinating mechanical design packages, interfaces and project deliverables.
• Working with customers, consultants, contractors and internal teams.
• Advising on technical requirements, identifying challenges and finding practical solutions.
• Identifying project needs and coordinating external specialists where required.
• Ensuring mechanical systems are coordinated effectively with wider M&E project requirements.

Who might this suit?
We’re keen to speak with Lead Mechanical Engineers, Senior Mechanical Design Engineers and Principal Mechanical Engineers looking to take on greater responsibility.

You’ll ideally have experience delivering data centre or other mission-critical projects, gained within a building services consultancy, specialist M&E contractor or critical infrastructure business.

You don’t necessarily need to be an established Project Manager, but you’ll need strong technical knowledge, good communication skills and an interest in taking greater ownership of project delivery.

What’s on offer?

• Salary up to and around £80,000, depending on experience.
• Exposure to a variety of data centre and critical infrastructure projects.
• The opportunity to develop towards project leadership and management.
• A stable, growing business with varied work and long-term career opportunities.
