Graduate M&E Surveying Engineer

We are seeking Graduate Mechanical & Electrical Surveying Engineers to join our growing team, supporting the delivery of comprehensive M&E asset capture, lifecycle, condition and dilapidation surveys across a diverse range of sectors. The role involves working closely with clients, consultants, contractors and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality technical services that meet project timescales and standards.

The successful candidate will play a key role in contributing to the successful completion of projects by applying sound technical knowledge and maintaining the highest standards of survey delivery and reporting. You will be responsible for building strong relationships with clients, professional organisations, contractors, suppliers, sub-contractors and internal teams, while working collaboratively within the Mechanical and Electrical Services Asset Surveying team.

The position requires undertaking detailed site surveys to identify, record and condition-grade existing mechanical and electrical services assets using specialist app-based surveying software on tablet devices. Producing accurate and comprehensive descriptions of assets and defects will form an essential part of the reporting process, alongside the thorough review of servicing and maintenance records to support lifecycle assessments and condition ratings.

Our projects span a wide variety of building types, including hospitals, healthcare facilities, schools, colleges, universities, hotels and commercial premises. As our commissions are delivered nationwide, the role involves regular travel throughout the UK, including overnight stays on a fully expensed basis. While many projects are delivered as part of a wider team, smaller surveys may require individuals to work independently and take ownership of their workload and deliverables. The role reports directly to the Associate Director of MEP Asset Surveying and may include additional duties as required.

The work encompasses a broad range of survey types, including full asset capture and lifecycle assessments, planned preventative maintenance surveys, latent defect inspections and dilapidation surveys. In addition, the role involves environmental condition validation testing using calibrated equipment to assess factors such as lighting levels, acoustics, ventilation performance, humidity, room temperatures, heat emitter surface temperatures and water services. These assessments are used to verify the performance of building services against original design specifications and room data requirements. The role also includes accessible ceiling inspections, requiring the use of ladders to assess and grade the condition of mechanical and electrical assets located above ceiling voids.

We are looking for candidates who possess a professional, confident and approachable manner, supported by a City & Guilds qualification or HNC/HND in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering. Applicants should have excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong report-writing capabilities and a proactive approach to managing workloads and meeting deadlines. Competence in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel and Outlook, is essential, while experience with GoReport software would be advantageous.

Candidates should demonstrate previous experience in mechanical and electrical services surveying or have a background within the building services industry, whether through engineering consultancy, maintenance or practical installation work. A sound understanding of British Standards, regulations and industry best practice in M&E design and installation is important, alongside a willingness to continually develop new skills and knowledge.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic team delivering technically challenging projects across the UK, offering variety, professional development and the chance to work within a collaborative and supportive environment
