Description

Engineering Lead (MEP) - Tier One Main Contractor

Central London

£110,000 – £125,000

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Engineering Lead to join a Tier One Main Contractor delivering complex, high-profile projects in Central London. This senior role plays a key part across the full project lifecycle, from early engagement and tender stages through to design development, delivery support and post-completion resolution of engineering matters.

The Engineering Lead position is designed to flex in line with business and project requirements. The role supports early-stage work winning activities, including design reviews, technical input into tenders and value engineering, as well as pre-construction services agreements (PCSA). Responsibilities may also extend into live project support where ongoing design coordination and engineering expertise are required, along with aftercare input to resolve technical or design-related issues following completion.

This is a non-operational role, focused on providing technical leadership rather than day-to-day site delivery. The Engineering Lead will oversee the engineering development of building services packages from tender through to commissioning, ensuring quality, coordination and buildability at every stage.

Provide technical leadership during tenders, including the development of technical proposals, submissions and settlements
Review, assess and challenge tender documentation to ensure completeness, accuracy and buildability
Engage with designers, consultants and supply chain partners to support PCSA and pre-construction activities
Manage technical interfaces between engineering, design and operational teams to ensure fully coordinated solutions
Act as the technical representative with clients, promoting a solutions-focused and engineering-led approach
Contribute to tender briefings and presentations, offering innovative technical advice
Represent the business as a technical ambassador within the wider industry, including attendance at relevant events

Skills & Experience Required

Degree qualified in a relevant engineering discipline
Strong background in engineering design and/or technical delivery within major construction projects

Sound understanding of project management principles and design coordination

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently at senior stakeholder level

Experience across a range of building services systems and construction methodologies

Proficient in relevant digital tools, including BIM platforms and design review software such as Navisworks
