Experience in designing Special Hazard Systems.

Proficiency in design software such as AutoCAD, Revit and Hydraulic calculation tools (e.g. Hyena).
Strong communication skills for liaising with clients, builders, certifiers, and fire authorities.

Strong background in building services design of data centers, commercial, industrial, health, defence, education, sports and aquatic or mixed-use projects.
Data Centre / Mission Critical project experience (highly desirable / preferred).
Interest in developing skills in project delivery, resource planning, and commercial awareness.
Proficiency in relevant design and engineering tools (e.g. Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam and specialist analysis software).

Confident working independently on defined scopes of work.
