Role Overview

The Junior Mechanical Engineer – EPOD supports the technical development, analysis, and detailing of mechanical engineering solutions for EPODS, from design through fabrication, testing, and installation. Working under supervision, the role helps ensure mechanical systems are technically sound, coordinated with other disciplines, and suitable for practical assembly, manufacturing, testing, and installation.

This is an opportunity to build specialist expertise in EPOD fabrication design and BIM-based coordination, using Revit, within a fast-track project environment alongside experienced engineers across CTS's EMEA project portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the development, analysis, and detailing of mechanical engineering solutions for EPODS under the guidance of senior engineers, in accordance with project requirements and applicable standards.
• Assist with the development of mechanical solutions from design through fabrication, testing, and installation, helping ensure technical information suits each project stage.
• Support the technical analysis of mechanical designs, drawings, specifications, and project documentation for fabrication and installation.
• Assist with multidisciplinary coordination, helping identify interfaces, clashes, and technical inconsistencies with civil, structural, architectural, and electrical disciplines.
• Use Revit/BIM authoring software to support the development, update, and coordination of mechanical models and related project documentation, under supervision.
• Support consideration of system assembly, fabrication, installation, routing, accessibility, connections, and construction requirements for cooling and piping equipment within EPOD assemblies.
• Assist with the preparation and review of mechanical drawings, details, specifications, calculations, and schedules.
• Support quality reviews of mechanical engineering outputs for technical accuracy and completeness.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, production teams, suppliers, and construction teams to help resolve technical issues.
• Provide engineering support across project stages and travel to project locations as required.

Required Skills and Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 3–5 years of experience in mechanical engineering design or multidisciplinary construction projects; exposure to data centres, modular, or prefabrication construction is valued.
• Basic proficiency with Revit/BIM authoring software.
• Basic familiarity with cooling and piping equipment (e.g., pumps, valves, heat exchangers) used in prefabricated mechanical assemblies.
• Growing interest in digitalization and the application of BIM methodologies to engineering and construction processes.
• Intermediate proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, production teams, suppliers, and construction teams.
• Responsible, proactive, and team-oriented, with strong motivation for continuous improvement.
• Availability to travel according to project and business requirements.
