Job description

Associate Director – MEP

The Opportunity

As Associate Director – MEP, you’ll sit at the intersection of technical excellence, leadership, and commercial savvy. You’ll own major project workstreams, act as the main client voice, and help drive the growth of a high‑performing regional building services team. In short: you’ll design, lead, influence—and leave things better than you found them.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Acting as the primary client contact on large, multi‑disciplinary MEP projects
  • Leading complex schemes across mechanical, electrical and public health disciplines
  • Driving project profitability, quality, risk management and delivery standards
  • Supporting work-winning, bids and strategic growth initiatives
  • Mentoring future leaders and shaping a positive, high‑performance team culture
  • Delegating, reviewing and guiding engineering teams and specialist inputs
  • Managing resources, monitoring spend and reporting to senior leadership
  • Ensuring technical excellence, compliance and best practice—without killing momentum

What You’ll Bring

  • Chartered Engineer status (or working towards it) with strong MEP design credentials
  • A solid electrical engineering background with UK experience, with clear understanding of other disciplines
  • Confidence leading teams, influencing stakeholders and handling tricky moments calmly
  • Excellent written and verbal communication (no jargon fog required)
  • Commercial awareness and an instinct for building long‑term client relationships
  • A leadership style that motivates, challenges and supports in equal measure

Why This Role?

Because it’s not just about projects—it’s about impact. You’ll have real influence over clients, people, and the future shape of the regional business. And yes, you’ll still get to flex your engineering brain while doing it.
