Role Overview

We are seeking a skilled Project Design Engineer to take ownership of transforming client ductwork specifications and layouts into accurate 3D models and production-ready drawings. You’ll oversee the design process from initial concept through to handover, ensuring designs are practical, cost-effective, compliant with standards, and aligned with project schedules.

This role will involve working on both traditional ducting solutions and advanced modular systems, supporting a range of commercial and industrial projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the main technical point of contact for allocated projects, engaging with clients, contractors, and internal teams.
• Develop detailed 3D models and fabrication drawings using SolidWorks and Revit.
• Produce technical documentation including material take-offs, part lists, and custom installation details.
• Coordinate with BIM teams to integrate designs into federated models, carrying out clash detection and resolution.
• Support automation in design workflows (e.g., DriveWorks) to streamline repetitive tasks.
• Collaborate with project stakeholders (consultants, QS, commercial team) to refine scope and ensure manufacturability.
• Provide guidance during production handover to ensure shop-floor teams have clear drawings and instructions.
• Manage project data and maintain accurate records in project management systems.
• Attend and contribute to design reviews, incorporating required amendments swiftly.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and internal quality procedures across all outputs.

Requirements:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• Minimum 3 years’ experience in mechanical design or building services.
• Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks; working knowledge of Revit and BIM coordination.
• Familiarity with ventilation and ductwork standards (e.g., DW144, SMACNA).
• Experience with CAD automation (e.g., DriveWorks).
• Strong organisational and communication skills, with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Eligible to work within the EU, with fluent English for professional communication.
• Desirable:
• Experience in applying digital design-to-fabrication processes (CAD-to-CAM).
• Adaptability to emerging technologies, including AI tools, for improving accuracy and efficiency.

What’s On Offer

• Opportunity to work on high-profile engineering projects.
• Professional development and career progression.
• Collaborative environment with a focus on innovation and quality.
