Over recent years the company has forged a reputation as one of the leading MEP design consultants in the UK for specialist mental health facilities.

The Leeds office will shortly celebrate their 10th anniversary, in that time they have grown to provide the Yorkshire region in particular first class building services engineering services, whilst working closely with other regional offices to deliver high quality schemes nationally. The Leeds office is also proud to play their part in encouraging the next generations of Engineers, successfully utilising apprenticeship programmes to introduce building services engineering to a younger audience, boosting much needed numbers within the industry.

Succession planning and facilitating the natural organic growth of all regional offices is something the senior management team review closely, looking to the future and maximising opportunities for both current and potential new employees. The Leeds office in particular has 2 exciting vacancies to fill within the management structure:

• MEP Associate Director (Mechanical)
• Electrical Associate

The term Associate Director means different things to different businesses, however here the title represents its true meaning and provides responsibilities way beyond just designing projects. Whilst all members of the senior management team remain involved in technical delivery, this position is more geared towards the commercial management of projects including time and resource allocation, staff management and development, whilst also highlighting training needs and offering technical support to your team. Client engagement and key account management also plays an important role, inviting repeat business through high levels of customer service, along with highlighting opportunities to deliver additional services.

Applications are invited from appropriately qualified (Chartered preferred but not essential) Mechanical Building Services Design Engineers with a wealth of experience delivering complex MEP schemes. This position would best suit a talented and seasoned HVAC Design Engineer keen to secure a platform within a senior management setup which reports directly to the owners, creating a pathway to board level. Previous experience running MEP design teams, working to strict financial budgets and deadlines along with managing key account relationships is essential, all whilst promoting a healthy working environment which facilitates a strong learning culture. Clear, precise and positive communication is viewed as vital, ensuring all members of the team are fully aware of their own responsibilities and the standards expected. Consistently setting the bar high and encouraging the very best outcomes aligns nicely with the company ethos.

The Leeds office is located east of the city centre on a large business park, ideal for commuting north, east, west or south and provides ample free parking onsite.
