Senior Mechanical Engineer - £70,000 to £100,000 + Benefits - Central London – Flexible/Hybrid

Do you have a strong background in mechanical engineering for complex industrial projects?

Are you looking for a role that allows you to work on cutting-edge process technologies while delivering innovative, bespoke solutions?

Our client is an independent engineering firm specialising in high-tech chemical process industries. With a process-led approach, they focus on developing innovative, cost-effective solutions rather than applying off-the-shelf designs. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will work within a multi-disciplinary project team—collaborating with process, electrical, instrumentation, and architectural specialists to deliver complete production buildings for clients across the UK and Europe.

Industry: High-Tech Process Industries (Hydrogen, Carbon Capture, Syngas, Advanced Fuels, Refinery Technology)

The Role

This role involves a mix of consultancy and design work, focusing on advanced technology, chemical, and industrial sectors. You will be responsible for:

• Leading the delivery of mechanical engineering designs and specifications.
• Conducting calculations, equipment selection, and system design for pumps, piping, vessels, columns, and mechanical equipment packages.
• Providing innovative solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and meet complex process requirements.
• Supporting feasibility studies, FEED, detailed design, and commissioning across various project scales—ranging from pilot and demonstration plants to large-scale production facilities.
• Driving value engineering, modularisation studies, and innovative fabrication/installation strategies.

The Person

We are looking for a technically focused individual who thrives in a flat-structured environment rather than managing a large team. The ideal candidate will have:

• Chartered Engineer status with significant experience in mechanical engineering for process industries.
• A strong understanding of existing and novel concept designs, technology scale-up, and commercialisation.
• The flexibility to adapt to diverse engineering and business challenges across multiple sectors.
• Experience in innovative fuel manufacturing processes such as biomass/anaerobic gasification, carbonate fuel cells, syngas/reforming, carbon capture, or advanced refinery processes.
• A track record of delivering innovative, client-focused solutions that exceed expectations.

Why Join?

• Work on cutting-edge process technologies in a growing industry.
• Join a company that values technical expertise and bespoke engineering solutions.
• A flat organisational structure that allows you to focus on technical work rather than team management.
• Hybrid/flexible working options based in Central London.
• Competitive salary £70,000 - £100,000 + benefits.
