Graduate Mechanical Engineer

We are an award winning global consultancy and have been named Building's Engineering Consultant of the Year in 2024, 2022 and 2021. We are at the forefront of the industry, priding ourselves on our exemplary track record of designing innovative and sustainable projects.

Sustainability runs through everything we do at Cundall, and our people are empowered to drive change and decarbonise the built environment. By the end of this decade, we have set ourselves an ambitious goal to only work on projects that meet our zero carbon design criteria, a commitment we have called our Zero Carbon Design 2030 goal. We need engineers who share this passion for sustainability and thrive in designing energy efficient buildings and communities.

Our Building Services teams at Cundall have a mission: they want to play a key role in making buildings more energy efficient, cost effective to run and, ultimately, more sustainable. To do this, we're looking for graduates who have a desire and enthusiasm to make a difference: in our homes, our offices, our projects, our industry and our community.

Working across a variety of industry sectors, our Building Services engineers are a source of world leading expertise; producing innovative and award-winning sustainable engineering solutions throughout the lifecycle of any building project.

Our Building Services teams have accomplished amazing projects like an innovative office for Google, the largest arts centre in Scotland, and an energy efficient data centre for Facebook. As a graduate in the team, you could play a key part in our next big project.

In this Graduate Mechanical Engineer role based in our Singapore office, you'll join a team who specialise in the design of some of the most exciting construction projects in Asia and worldwide.

Working closely with colleagues across our multi-disciplinary practice, you'll provide specialist consultancy input on projects across a wide range of sectors including education, healthcare, workplace, retail and critical systems (data centres).

Under the guidance of our team of experienced engineers, we'll equip you to undertake detailed mechanical building services engineering design and analysis, define and translate clients' needs into designs for buildings, facilities and services (ventilation, cooling and air conditioning, heating systems and more) - all with sustainability at the forefront of the design.
You'll have the opportunity over time to assume greater levels of responsibility and autonomy as your professional skills develop and with accredited professional development programmes from CIBSE and IMechE you'll be fully supported towards achieving chartership.

The targeted start date will be in January 2026 but can be flexible.

Accredited with, or on course to achieve a MEng degree level (or equivalent) in Mechanical or Building Services Engineering, you're passionate about innovative and sustainable mechanical engineering for the built environment. Ideally, you'll have furthered this interest by undertaking some form of relevant work experience or placement/internship.

You have an appreciation for the core elements of mechanical building services engineering and crucially, have a love for creative and intuitive design. Digital engineering is a big focus at Cundall, so ideally, you'll have an understanding of Parametric Modelling Techniques (Grasshopper or Dynamo), or at least one modern programming language (e.g. Python, C#, VB). An understanding of Engineering Optimisation Techniques, the principles of structured programming and basic knowledge in the application of Machine Learning would also be desirable.

You are organised and methodical in your approach to managing your tasks and priorities, you strive to meet deadlines and have a close appreciation of the commercial factors which affect design solutions.

Collaborative in nature, you'll be able to empathise with your clients' needs and utilise excellent communication skills, both in writing and verbally, with internal and external stakeholders. You're used to using your initiative to overcome challenges and have a positive, can-do attitude.
What's in it for you
