• Degree-qualified Mechanical Engineer with a background in HVAC building services
• Prior experience working with a mechanical services contractor (essential)
• Proven ability to manage or mentor engineers and coordinate technical output
• Strong design knowledge across chilled water, ventilation, and DX systems
• Confident communicator with a practical, solutions-focused approach
• Desire to grow into a senior leadership capacity within a progressive business
