Mechanical Pipework Liquid Cooling Specialist

Mechanical Engineer - Cooling Systems & Pipework Mechanical Engineer Cooling Systems Pipework Waterloop Project Delivery London / South Hybrid A rare opportunity to step into a Mechanical Engineer - Cooling Systems & Pipework role within a growing, engineering-led business delivering complex mechanical systems across high-spec, process-driven environments. This position offers exposure across the full lifecycle, from early-stage specification and design input through to installation, commissioning, and client handover, with a particular focus on cooling systems and water-based pipework solutions. While there is strong alignment to data centre environments, we are equally interested in individuals from pharmaceutical, food & beverage, semi-conductor, or other clean/process-led sectors.The Role As a Mechanical Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of engineering, project delivery, and client interaction. This is not purely a design role, and not a traditional project management position. Instead, it is a hybrid technical role, requiring both strong mechanical engineering capability and the ability to support projects through delivery. You will take ownership of the technical journey, ensuring solutions are practical, commercially viable, and delivered to a high standard.Key Areas of Focus

• Interpreting and supporting client specifications across cooling systems and mechanical pipework
• Contributing to the development of waterloop and pipework solutions, including associated components and layouts
• Collaborating with internal engineering teams to assess feasibility and optimise designs
• Supporting estimating and pre-construction activities with technical input
• Acting as a technical authority during project delivery, particularly around:
• Engineering changes and revisions
• System performance and optimisation
• Installation standards and best practice
• Supporting commissioning, testing, and troubleshooting of mechanical systems
• Acting as a key interface between clients, engineering teams, and delivery functions

The Person You are likely to be:

• A Mechanical Engineer, Mechanical Project Engineer, or Pipework Specialist
• Operating within building services, process engineering, or high-spec mechanical environments
• Experienced across installation, commissioning, or project delivery, not just design

You will bring:

• A strong grounding in mechanical systems and engineering principles
• The ability to engage in technical decision-making and problem solving
• Confidence operating in client-facing and cross-functional environments

You may have:

• Progressed from an engineering role into project or package responsibility
• Or be operating within project delivery roles with a strong technical foundation

Sector experience could include:

• Data centres or mission-critical environments
• Pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, or semi-conductor
• Other clean, regulated, or process-driven industries

The Opportunity This is an opportunity to step into a broader role where you will:

• Influence projects from concept through to delivery
• Develop as a technical authority within cooling and pipework systems
• Work across engineering and delivery teams, gaining wider project exposure

The business offers a strong platform for individuals looking to move beyond a purely technical or purely project-based role into something more integrated and commercially impactful.Package & Location

• £65,000 to £85,000 Competitive salary and benefits package based on experience
• Hybrid working, with 1 to 2 days per week in London preferred
• Travel across the UK and Europe as required
