Join Ramboll’s UK Healthcare team as a Mechanical Associate and lead mechanical engineering design for technically challenging hospital and healthcare projects in the UK and internationally. You’ll shape resilient, low‑carbon building services solutions, deliver coordinated BIM workflows and act as a confident client‑facing technical lead across multi‑disciplinary teams.

We’re looking for someone with a proven track record delivering mechanical building services on complex healthcare or high‑resilience projects, strong Revit/BIM 360 capability, and either chartered status or qualifications that support MCIBSE/MIMechE/MIHEEM membership — with Ramboll providing clear chartership and professional development support. If you’re passionate about innovative engineering that improves patient care and drives sustainable change, this role offers the scope and variety to make a real impact.

Your new role

As a Mechanical Associate in Ramboll’s UK Healthcare team you’ll lead mechanical engineering delivery on technically demanding hospital and healthcare projects across the UK and internationally. You will combine hands‑on engineering excellence with people leadership and client engagement, shaping resilient, low‑carbon building services solutions and ensuring high standards of digital delivery.

We offer flexible working arrangements with candidates able to work from any of our primary offices as well as home. We have an exciting range of ongoing projects including Hillerød Hospital Denmark, Cambridge Children’s Hospital, Kettering General Hospital and KEMH, Falklands Islands.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the mechanical engineering design and delivery for healthcare projects, from concept through detailed design and handover.
• Manage, mentor and develop small to medium technical teams of mechanical engineers and technicians.
• Take responsibility for MEP coordination and BIM delivery using Revit/BIM 360 and relevant MEP tools (e.g., MagiCad, IES).
• Produce and review detailed design calculations, specifications and technical drawings to required standards.
• Act as client‑facing technical lead: represent Ramboll in project meetings, present solutions, and maintain strong client relationships.
• Manage project scope, resources and delivery as MEP/Mechanical project manager, identifying and mitigating technical and commercial risks.
• Support business development and key account activity by preparing proposals, technical inputs and thought leadership.
• Champion best practice in sustainability and zero‑carbon design, quality assurance and continuous improvement across projects.
• Promote Ramboll’s profile and technical reputation through collaborative working with multi‑disciplinary teams and external partners.

Your new team

You’ll join a growing, national Healthcare team delivering an ambitious five‑year strategy. Our multidisciplinary group works across long‑term programmes and high‑profile new‑build acute hospitals, creating environments that improve patient care and support NHS services.

Why people join us

• Meaningful impact: work on projects that directly benefit patients, staff and communities.
• Broad portfolio: national and international projects, from estate renewals to large hospital new builds.
• Collaborative culture: partner with leading UK and international architects and multidisciplinary specialists in a design‑driven environment rooted in strong Scandinavian design values.

• Flexible ways of working: national footprint with the option to be based at any UK office and hybrid working as standard.

About you

• Proven track record delivering mechanical building services design on UK projects — ideally healthcare or other high‑resilience/technically complex schemes.
• Demonstrable experience leading project teams or technical workstreams and driving collaborative, inclusive delivery.
• Degree (or equivalent) in mechanical/building services engineering or related discipline.
• Eligibility for, or progress towards, corporate membership (MCIBSE, MIMechE or MIHEEM) — Ramboll provides chartership support.
• Strong competence in digital design delivery (Revit/BIM 360) and familiarity with MEP industry tools.
• Excellent project management skills with the ability to run multiple projects or workstreams and manage technical and commercial risks.
• Clear, confident communicator able to explain complex technical concepts to clients and multidisciplinary teams, verbally and in writing.
• Self‑starter who can work autonomously across technical aspects of mechanical engineering while building client relationships.
