Associate Mechanical Engineer - Data Centres

Location: London

We are currently seeking an experienced Associate Mechanical Engineer to join a prestigious consultancy's Data Centres team, based in London. This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer with a passion for client-facing roles and business development within the critical systems sector.

In this role, you will not be responsible for full project delivery, as this will be managed by the national delivery team. Instead, you will focus on driving client relationships, supporting business growth, and engaging in strategic business development activities within the data centre sector, as well as other critical infrastructure sectors like aviation and science.

Why This Role?

This is an excellent opportunity to take a leading role in business development while working with some of the most innovative and high-profile projects in the critical systems space. If you have a strong background in client-facing roles and are looking to take the next step in business development within data centre projects, this position will provide the perfect environment to shape your career.

Key Responsibilities:

·Drive and develop client relationships, acting as the primary point of contact for key accounts
·Take ownership of business development efforts, ensuring the growth and expansion of opportunities within the data centre sector and other mission-critical industries
·Collaborate closely with the national delivery team to ensure alignment of business goals and project delivery
·Develop and implement client engagement strategies, strengthening existing relationships and identifying new business opportunities
·Promote the business' services within the data centre and critical systems sectors
·Support the strategic direction and development of the data centres team

What We're Looking For:

·Proven experience in a client-facing role within the critical systems sector (data centres, aviation, science, or mission-critical industries)
·Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles and their application in the critical systems sector
·Experience in business development and client relationship management
·Strong communication skills with the ability to engage clients and develop new business
·Experience with data centre projects or other mission-critical sectors is highly advantageous
·A strategic and proactive approach to business growth

What's on Offer:

·A key role in a leading consultancy focused on data centre and mission-critical projects
·Focus on client and business development with high-profile, blue chip clients across the city
·Comprehensive benefits package - including private healthcare, travel allowances, 9 day fortnight, enhanced holiday and pension + more
·Flexible working arrangements for work-life balance
·Opportunity to be a key contributor to a growing data centres team

If you're an experienced engineer with a passion for client engagement and business development within critical systems, we want to hear from you. This is a rare opportunity to join a dynamic team in a growing sector.
