Working within our Facility Engineering team, we are looking to appoint an experienced HVAC Mechanical Engineer to deliver professional engineering services across our plant and equipment.

Title: HVAC Mechanical Engineer

Location: Between Reading and Basingstoke, with free onsite parking.

Package: £37,860 - £52,000 + Excellent Benefits (depending on your suitability, qualifications, and level of experience)

Working pattern: AWE operates a 9-day working fortnight. We will consider flexible working requests so that your work may fit in with your lifestyle. Just let us know your preferred working pattern on your application.

As a HVAC Mechanical Engineer you'll be responsible for:

Producing modification packages, manage configured plant changes, and act as intelligent client in acquiring or specifying engineering services or products
Identifying and escalate business risk or opportunities arising from the condition of engineered systems and structures in the interests of safety, regulatory compliance, quality, and reliability
Taking ownership of engineering issues or opportunities. Plan, manage, and collaborate to deliver sound, safe solutions to enable delivery of the programme and our obligations to society
Providing advice, guidance, progress reports, and supporting documentation (or review) to stakeholders including Senior Leadership, Operations Management, Process Owners, Operators, Maintainers, and Occupants
Adhering to Company Management System requirements, relevant Technical Standards & Legislation, and business controls. Professional, ethical, and courteous conduct
Applying Maintenance & Reliability Principles; enact as directed by planning, output from Failure Modes & Effects Analysis
Analysing relevant metrics and contribute to Key Performance Indicators and other reporting as required
Assisting in Reliability Centred Maintenance planning and perform Root Cause Analysis

For HVAC Mechanical Engineer roles we are particularly interested to hear from candidates with experience in some, or all the following:

Mechanical building services (HVAC, water systems etc.) and industrial processes (compressed gases & pneumatics, hydraulics, steam, packaged units, lifting equipment, cryogenics), with good awareness of associated electrical & control systems
Experience within mechanical ventilation, especially within specialised applications such as containment including pressure cascade and LEV.
A good awareness of relevant legislation, supporting ACOP, best practice, and common industry standards
Experience within the higher hazard or regulated industries (e.g., nuclear, petro-chem, pharma etc.)
Previous experience as an installer or maintainer likely beneficial, although this role is more akin to consultancy services in lieu of hands on technical tasks
A L4 NQF (HNC) with suitable additional experience or degree in an engineering discipline

Some reasons we think HVAC Mechanical Engineers love it here:

AWE has wide range of benefits to suit you. These include:

9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work.
In addition, 208 hours of holiday each year (equal to at least 25 days leave) plus Bank Holidays.
