Salary first: 55,000 to 70,000 for senior mechanical on data centres.

Data centre and infrastructure work rewards a particular kind of mechanical engineer: one who enjoys plant strategy at scale, treats resilience as a design input rather than a checkbox, and can keep a multi-disciplinary team honest on the details. If that is you, this portfolio will stretch you in the right direction without burying you in repetition.

Salary first: 55k to 70k for the right senior mechanical engineer on a portfolio that earns it.

This is a Senior Mechanical Engineer position with a building services and engineering practice based in central London with the project diversity that location suggests. The day-to-day mix runs HVAC system design, plant strategy, compliance work across Part L and Part F, and the coordination needed to make a mechanical scheme deliverable inside a multi-disciplinary team. Tools you would expect: Revit, Hevacomp or IES, AutoCAD, Bluebeam for coordination.

You are chartered or close to it, with strong UK consultancy experience and the project-running judgement that comes with it. You can carry a scheme from concept through to delivery, manage clients and contractors without rescue, and develop the engineers around you. Recurring themes on this brief: data centre and infrastructure. Prior exposure to either is useful, not mandatory.

Salary: 55,000 to 70,000 depending on experience. Working pattern: on-site, full time, based in central London.
