London Area, United Kingdom Vital Energi Utilities Limited Full time

The Company

Vital Energi is a leading provider of renewable energy infrastructure and systems to the public and private sectors. We are supporting Hospitals, Universities, New Build developments, Towns and Cities as well as Industrial and Commercial clients to decarbonise their buildings.


We have and continue to work on ground-breaking projects throughout the UK which are supporting the UK’s Net Zero targets, such as the recently announced £1 billion low-carbon infrastructure project for Westminster.


With plans to double our headcount over the coming years, supported by offices opening in new locations across the country and our strong investment pipeline, coupled with our expansion into new markets such as industrial power generation with our very own Energy-from-Waste facility, there is no better time to join the family here at Vital Energi.


The Opportunity

Due to our ongoing growth we are looking for a Design Engineer from a Building Services or Mechanical Engineering background to join our specialist, multi-disciplinary team of Engineers based out of our London office in Holborn.


As part of the Design Delivery team you will be involved in producing a broad range of conceptual to fully detailed designs covering things such as District and Communal Heating Systems, Energy Centres, Trigeneration Solutions and Heat Pumps.


Due to the nature of the role you will be involved in projects at a variety of stages and locations utilising a range of technologies requiring initial conceptual work, site investigations, surveys, client meetings, project submissions and presentations.


Given the diverse range of our projects and technologies it is expected that no project will be the same. One week you may find yourself involved in the design of renewable energy solutions to support with a hospital’s decarbonisation, and another week you may be involved with a multimillion-pound design project for a district heating scheme with a local authority.


The Role

Reporting to the Senior Design Engineer you will be responsible for:

  • Supporting the design of distributed energy schemes, energy centres, district heating networks and other major sustainability projects
  • Interpreting, appraising and documenting client requirements
  • Carrying out calculations, equipment selection and process operation
  • Producing schematics and detailed drawings
  • Maintaining an awareness of cost implications within the design process
  • Dealing with design issues and minimising their impact
  • Ensuring compliance with CDM requirements and in-house processes
  • Conducting HAZOP studies and Risk Assessments
  • Assisting in specifying mechanical aspects for tendering works


The Person

Skills/Experience

  • Educated to at least HNC/HND level in Mechanical, Building Services or similar Engineering discipline
  • Preferably educated to Degree level
  • Design experience in at least one of the following fields: Building Services, CHP, Boilers/Heating, HVAC, MVHR, District Heating, Steam, Air Handling, Cooling, Renewable Energy (e.g Solar or Heat Pumps), or similar
  • Competent in AutoCAD
  • Full UK manual driving licence


The Package

Includes:

  • Negotiable salary DOE
  • Contributory Company Pension Scheme
  • Non-contributory death-in-service insurance
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • 25 Days Holiday plus 8 days bank holidays; additional holidays awarded in line with length of service
  • Option to purchase/sell additional holidays
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
  • Discounted gym membership across the UK


Applications will be processed within 28 days of receipt. If you have not heard from us within this time period it will mean that your application has unfortunately been unsuccessful.
