The Building Services team is a source of world-leading expertise, and our reputation in the education sector has been growing.

The Role

This is an opportunity for an experienced and client-focused Principal Mechanical Building Services Engineer to join the team at our Madrid office. This key role will work alongside directors and partners, ensuring successful delivery while working with clients, architects, and other stakeholders for some of the most exciting building projects in Spain and worldwide. You will work closely with colleagues of various disciplines from pre-bid through to design phases to completion and post-handover.

You will develop and nurture outstanding client relationships that maximize satisfaction and ensure repeat business. You will use your wealth of expertise and leadership skills to manage, motivate, and inspire less experienced engineers.

Given the collaborative and client-focused nature of this role, excellent communication and time management skills are essential. As Cundall operates globally, a high level of English, both written and spoken, will be desirable.

There is the opportunity to grow within this role both technically and managerially. You will assist with fee proposals and business development. You will be supported by mechanical and electrical engineers as the design progresses and enjoy developing solutions in collaboration with other members of the professional team in a consultative role.

You will be supported in this role with engineers providing design services and work alongside directors / partners who will actively support you as we expand our team in Spain.
