Salary Range - £60,000 – £70,000 DOE + A great benefits package including car allowance and 6% pension contribution.
This role is truly an experienced mechanical building services designer's dream! Are you seeking greater technical influence, project ownership and the ability to shape how a design function operates? Because this role offers exactly that.
