Principal Mechanical Engineer

Full-time, permanent Remote (UK) Open now

The role

We are looking for a Principal Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical design on our projects, most of them high-rise and residential schemes. AMF is a fully remote practice with no office; the only travel is for the site visits a project requires.

Leading the mechanical design across several live projects, and the engineers delivering it.

AMF MEP is a multi-disciplinary practice working across mechanical, electrical and public health engineering. Every project gets the same standard of technical work, the same compliance with industry standards and the same attention to delivery. We look for people motivated to work at that level.
