Associate Mechanical Engineering Consultant – Asset Management & Technical Compliance Location: Home-based (with UK-wide site travel to high-value estates) Typical travel - 2-3 days to site visits & client meetings. Occasional overnight stays - All expenses paid. Contract: Full-time, Permanent Salary/Package: Competitive but expected to be circa £70k-£75k plus package The Real Attraction: Predictability and Scale If you are tired of the boom-and-bust cycle of traditional construction or design consultancies, this is the pivot you’ve been looking for. Join the technical advisory arm of one of the UK’s largest infrastructure investment funds. They manage a mature, multi-billion-pound portfolio of nearly 100 critical public-sector assets—including major NHS hospitals, schools, and secure facilities. Because these are long-term, government-backed contracts with an average remaining lifespan of over 15 years, this business offers a level of commercial stability that is incredibly rare in today's market. They are looking to appoint a Senior Associate to act as a premier mechanical engineering and compliance advisor across these estates. What You Will Actually Be Doing You will not be on the tools, nor will you be chained to a design desk. You will operate as a high-level technical health inspector and strategic fixer for complex building systems. High-Stakes Auditing: Reviewing mechanical building services and critical ventilation systems (particularly across healthcare estates) to ensure they are legally and operationally bulletproof. Authoritative Technical Reporting: A major and critical part of this role is turning your site findings into high-quality, comprehensive compliance and advisory reports. You must be comfortable producing a high volume of written work that translates dense engineering data into clear, actionable insights for senior clients. Strategic Advisory: Giving authoritative engineering advice on the lifecycle, technical commissioning, and decommissioning of high-value machinery (boilers, air handling units, etc.). Commercial Leadership & Mentorship: Acting as lead consultant on key projects, hitting fee-generation targets, and using your experience to coach junior engineers as your own career progresses. The Reality of the Travel & Work Setup While this is a home-based position where you will manage your own diary, managing these massive estates requires a physical presence. The Schedule: Expect to spend 2 to 3 days a week out on-site conducting inspections or attending client meetings, with the occasional overnight stay required. Smart Commuting: The business actively encourages utilising the UK train network for travel, allowing you to convert your transit time into productive, paid working hours. Expenses: Naturally, all business-related travel, accommodation, and subsistence expenses are fully covered. What You Need to Bring This is a senior-level position requiring specific pedigree. You cannot fake this background, particularly when advising on highly regulated public and healthcare environments. Qualifications: Educated to degree level with a formal Mechanical Engineering qualification. Sector Expertise: Proven engineering consultancy or operational experience inside complex healthcare environments, with deep knowledge of hard facilities management (Hard FM) compliance and specialised mechanical ventilation. Contract Awareness: An understanding of long-term asset management or Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract structures is highly advantageous. Background Checks: Due to the nature of the estates (schools and secure facilities), a successful DBS check is mandatory. Why Apply Through Me? As an executive recruiter who has spent over two decades partnering with engineering and estates directors, I don't just push CVs into an HR black hole. Working with me gives you a distinct commercial advantage: Direct Line to the Director: I have an exclusive relationship with the hiring director for this specific role. Your profile goes straight to their desk, not a generic tracking system. The "Unwritten" Job Spec: I understand the team culture, the immediate pain points they need this hire to fix, and what the director values most. I will brief you on this before your profile is submitted. Interview Advantage: If your background fits, I will personally prepare you for the meeting, mapping your specific technical achievements directly to what they need to see to make an offer. Next Steps If you have the mechanical compliance background and want a home-based role with genuine long-term security, let’s have a confidential conversation.
