Lead Mechanical Engineer - Cooling Systems and Pipework

Mechanical Engineer Lead Engineer Cooling Systems Pipework Waterloop Project Delivery London / South Hybrid A key appointment within a growing, engineering-led business delivering complex mechanical systems across high-spec, process-driven environments. This role offers the opportunity to lead and take ownership of cooling systems and pipework solutions, influencing projects from early-stage specification through to installation, commissioning, and client handover. While there is strong alignment to data centre environments, we are equally interested in individuals from pharmaceutical, food and beverage, semi-conductor, or other clean/process-led sectors.
