Mechanical / Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (Permanent)

General Description

An established and highly successful multi‑disciplinary building services contractor is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join their expanding team in Banbridge. The business is recognised for its innovative, forward‑thinking approach and has experienced consistent growth across sectors including residential, hospitality, education, commercial, and healthcare. With multiple offices across the UK and Ireland, this is an excellent opportunity to join a company delivering high‑profile projects using modern, progressive methods of construction.
Working primarily within a design‑and‑build environment, you will take projects from Stage 3 concept through to final delivery (Stage 7). This gives you the unique opportunity to take early‑stage design concepts and evolve them into fully coordinated, fabrication‑ready solutions.
Unlike traditional consultancy environments, this position allows you to focus on a smaller number of high‑value projects, giving you full ownership and visibility from initial appointment through design development, prefabrication and on‑site installation of modular plantrooms and skids.
Communicate clearly with internal design teams both in person and via email
Provide accurate technical direction to Revit/BIM teams for drawing production
Take full ownership of allocated projects and work autonomously where needed
Mentor and support junior engineers and BIM/Offsite team members
Carry out site surveys and review installations (short visits)
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or time‑served pipefitting background
Strong IT skills with confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
Experience within the commercial M&E sector
Exposure to offsite manufacturing design, modular concepts or prefabricated components
You’ll join a supportive, forward‑thinking engineering team where your ideas are valued, and your development is prioritised. Expect genuine career progression, exposure to high‑profile projects, and the unique opportunity to see your designs taken from concept through to offsite fabrication and installation. With strong leadership, a collaborative culture, and the stability of a well‑established contractor, this is a role that offers long‑term security, professional growth, and real impact.
