LOCATION: Hull, East Yorkshire
SALARY: £40,000 – £45,000
Thermoplant are looking for a Design focused Project Engineer to join its growing engineering team, supporting the design and delivery of bespoke HVAC and chiller systems for technically demanding applications.
The Project Engineer opportunity is a varied role combining hands‑on mechanical design with project coordination, working closely with customers, manufacturing teams and suppliers to deliver engineered solutions from initial specification through to completion.
The opportunity would suit an engineer with a strong mechanical background who enjoys the technical aspects of design while taking responsibility for the successful delivery of engineering projects.
WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
- Work on technically varied HVAC and chiller projects for specialist applications.
- Combine hands‑on mechanical design with wider project engineering responsibilities.
- Take ownership of engineering activities from design through to manufacturing and testing.
- Work closely with customers, suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Develop your technical and project management experience within a specialist engineering environment.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
- A competitive salary of £40,000 to £45,000
- 36 hour working week with the option to take1 Friday off per month.
- The opportunity to work on varied, technically challenging engineering projects.
- Exposure to the full project lifecycle, from design through to manufacturing and commissioning activities.
- Opportunities for continued professional development and technical training.
- The chance to work with UK and international customers on specialist engineering applications.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Support the mechanical design and development of HVAC and chiller systems in line with customer specifications and relevant engineering standards.
- Produce and develop 3D models, detailed engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
- Coordinate engineering activities, managing technical specifications, project schedules and key deliverables.
- Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), technical documentation and manufacturing work packs.
- Work closely with manufacturing teams and suppliers to resolve technical queries and ensure designs are practical and cost-effective.
- Identify opportunities to improve designs, reduce manufacturing costs and streamline production processes.
- Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) activities.
- Liaise directly with customers, managing technical enquiries and ensuring project requirements are understood and delivered.
- Monitor project progress, identify potential risks and recommend corrective actions where required.
- Ensure engineering activities meet relevant quality, safety and regulatory standards.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- A minimum HNC/HND qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
- A technical understanding of HVAC systems, chillers and associated mechanical equipment.
- Experience using SolidWorks, AutoCAD or similar engineering design software.
- The ability to interpret technical drawings, engineering specifications and manufacturing requirements.
- Experience coordinating engineering activities and working across multidisciplinary project teams.
- A practical, hands‑on approach to engineering with the ability to balance design responsibilities and project delivery.
Experience working with specialist or bespoke engineered systems, supporting manufacturing operations or participating in FAT/SAT activities would be particularly beneficial.
