Job Description

We are an award winning global consultancy and have been named Building’s Engineering Consultant of the Year in 2024, 2022 and 2021. We are at the forefront of the industry, priding ourselves on our exemplary track record of designing innovative and sustainable projects.

Sustainability runs through everything we do at Cundall, and our people are empowered to drive change and decarbonise the built environment. By the end of this decade, we have set ourselves an ambitious goal to only work on projects that meet our zero carbon design criteria, a commitment we have called our Zero Carbon Design 2030 goal. We need engineers who share this passion for sustainability and thrive in designing energy efficient buildings and communities.

Cundall’s building services team’s mission is to play a key role in making buildings more energy efficient, sustainable and cost effective to operate – and we pride ourselves on our exemplary track record of designing innovative and practical mechanical and electrical solutions.

With offices in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia we offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, professional excellence and knowledge sharing.

Our Philippines operations represents Cundall as our Regional Centre of excellence for Data Centre design, Sustainability, and Building Services.

The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and client focused Mechanical Building Services expert to join our elite team in our Philippines office, to play a leading role in ensuring the successful delivery of innovative mechanical design solutions for some of the most exciting building projects locally and regionally.

Working across a variety of sectors such as Education, Commercial, Healthcare, Retail and Critical Systems, you will work closely with colleagues of various disciplines to manage the delivery of technically-excellent, profitable projects. You will have the opportunity over time to assume greater levels of responsibility and autonomy as your professional skills develop.

The Skills

Educated to degree level in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering (MEng or BEng or equivalent) and having gained broad experience in a Mechanical Engineering role within a building services context (ventilation, cooling and air conditioning, heating systems etc), you have proven your technical expertise in relevant design software including Revit, IES, CYMAP and/or Hevacomp, and have a portfolio of experience demonstrating your quality and client focussed approach. Data Center and Critical Systems experience will be highly advantageous.

In your most recent position, you would have consistently demonstrated your ability to manage multiple large-scale projects and teams to deliver to, and exceed client expectations, and crucially – you have a passion for creative and intuitive design.

Given the collaborative and client focused nature of this role, excellent communication and project management skills are essential.

We know that to be the best at what we do we need a diverse workforce underpinned by an inclusive culture. Creating environments where everyone can find joy doing their best work is also great for everyone. That’s why we positively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and identities, and encourage, support, and celebrate the diverse voices of our people.
