As a Senior / Principal HVAC Engineer, you’ll bring together technical expertise, collaboration and engineering leadership to deliver high-quality solutions across nuclear and power projects.

• We take a strengths-based approach, focusing on what you bring and how you can continue to grow and thrive with us. You don’t need to match every point perfectly, and we’d encourage you to apply if you believe your experience could add value to the team.
• You may recognise yourself in some of the following:
• You bring strong experience in HVAC engineering, particularly ventilation and chilled water design, within complex, safety-regulated or multidisciplinary environments.
• You hold Chartered or Incorporated status with a recognised professional institution, or bring comparable relevant experience.
• You enjoy applying your technical knowledge to solve problems, guide decisions and support successful project outcomes.
• You’re comfortable contributing at Senior or Principal level and taking responsibility for aspects of technical design and delivery.
• You value collaboration and bring a thoughtful and inclusive approach to working with multidisciplinary teams.
• You communicate clearly and enjoy building positive relationships with colleagues, clients and stakeholders.
• You may have experience supporting construction activities and responding to technical queries from live construction sites, alongside an understanding of civil and structural interfaces with HVAC systems.
• Experience with CFD analysis, heating and cooling load modelling, atmospheric dispersion analysis or exhaust stack design would be valuable.
• You’re comfortable learning and applying different codes and standards. Experience with international requirements such as ASME, NFPA or Canadian building codes would be beneficial.
• You’re comfortable with our hybrid working approach, which involves office/project-based working approximately 3 days per week in Bristol.
• As the initial assignment supports a project in Canada, a willingness to travel to Canada and co-locate with the client team when required would be advantageous.
• Above all, we’re looking for someone who combines strong HVAC engineering capability with collaborative leadership, curiosity and a commitment to delivering safe, high-quality engineering solutions.
