A highly regarded multidisciplinary engineering consultancy specialising in mechanical and electrical building services design, with a strong presence in Dublin and across the European market.

The company delivers complex data centre, energy infrastructure and mission critical projects for major international clients, with a strong focus on technical design, sustainability and engineering quality.

The Role: Senior Mechanical Design Engineer


This is a senior mechanical design position based in Dublin, working on large scale data centre developments across Ireland and Europe.

You will take responsibility for the mechanical building services design and delivery of multiple projects, from initial concept through detailed design, construction support and final handover.

Working closely with the Mechanical Design Lead, project teams and clients, you will oversee HVAC design, coordinate engineering deliverables and ensure projects are delivered to the required technical standards and programme.

The role also involves managing design workloads, attending client meetings and mentoring junior engineers, with opportunities to progress into a Mechanical Design Lead position within the data centre division.

Must Have Requirements
  • Must have 10+ years' experience in mechanical building services design within an engineering consultancy.
  • Proven experience required in HVAC system design and mechanical services engineering on large scale projects.
  • A relevant professional qualification in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering is required.
  • Must have experience managing mechanical design deliverables, coordinating engineering teams and meeting project deadlines.
  • Strong technical knowledge of building services systems, mechanical design standards and building controls is essential.
Preferred Experience
  • Previous mechanical design experience on data centres, mission critical facilities or technically complex buildings.
  • Experience representing an engineering consultancy in client and design coordination meetings.
  • Knowledge of Revit, AutoCAD and mechanical design software would be beneficial.
  • Experience designing plumbing and drainage systems.
  • Chartered Engineer status or progress towards professional accreditation.
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead mechanical building services design packages on major data centre projects across Ireland and EMEA.
  • Oversee HVAC design, plant selection, building controls and associated mechanical systems.
  • Manage multiple project deliverables, ensuring design programmes and deadlines are achieved.
  • Coordinate with electrical, structural and architectural teams to resolve design issues.
  • Review mechanical drawings, specifications, technical reports and calculations.
  • Attend client meetings and provide technical input throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Manage engineering resources and delegate design responsibilities across the team.
  • Maintain quality assurance standards and review engineering deliverables before issue.
  • Monitor project scope, design changes and contractual requirements.
  • Mentor junior and intermediate mechanical engineers, supporting their technical development.
  • Report project progress, resource requirements and technical risks to senior management.
About You

You are an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with a strong consultancy background and a thorough understanding of HVAC and mechanical building services design.

You will be comfortable taking responsibility for mechanical design packages, managing several projects simultaneously and working directly with clients on technically demanding developments.

Strong communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to coordinate multidisciplinary design teams are important. You should also enjoy mentoring younger engineers and contributing to the technical development of the wider team.

Experience in the data centre sector would be particularly valuable, although candidates with strong mechanical design experience on other complex commercial or industrial projects will also be considered.

What's on Offer

Salary: Up to €100,000 DOE

Benefits:

  • Hybrid working arrangements
  • Flexible working hours
  • 9 day fortnight with every second Friday off
