A leading UK construction and development business is looking to appoint its first in-house MEP Designer as part of a strategic move to bring technical expertise internally.
This is a key role within the organisation, working closely with pre-construction and delivery teams to provide deep technical input across major building projects.
The Role
You will take ownership of technical MEP design review and validation across a range of projects, ensuring quality, completeness, and buildability at tender and pre-construction stages.
This is a highly technical position focused on design interrogation rather than commercial or coordination tasks.
Key Responsibilities

- Provide technical input and challenge design proposals where necessary
- Ensure MEP designs align with project requirements, standards, and buildability
- Support pre-construction teams with expert technical insight
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to strengthen in-house MEP capability
About You
- Proven experience in MEP / Building Services Design (consultancy or contractor background)
- Strong technical knowledge across mechanical and/or electrical systems
- Experience reviewing and challenging consultant designs
- Ability to identify design gaps and propose practical solutions
- Comfortable working in a standalone or pioneering role
- Strong communication skills with a detail-oriented mindset
Why Apply?
- Opportunity to shape and define a brand-new in-house function
- Work on high-profile, complex construction projects
- Move away from pure consultancy into a client-side/contractor environment
- Long-term career progression as the function grows
