Utilities Project Engineer (HVAC SME)

Location: On-site, Andover, MA

Work directly with a leading global pharmaceutical manufacturer.

Own the technical delivery of major capital projects.

We’re supporting a high-profile manufacturing site delivering multiple large-scale capex programs, and we’re looking for a Utilities Project Engineer with strong HVAC expertise to join the team.

This is a hands-on SME role, where you’ll act as the technical authority for HVAC and utilities across several concurrent projects in a live manufacturing environment.

Why this role stands out

Embedded on-site with the end client, working directly on their projects
Key role in major facility upgrades and modernisation programs
Long-term opportunity, 2–3 years+ with strong pipeline beyond
Be the go-to technical expert, not just another project resource

The Role

You’ll operate as the HVAC SME within the project team, supporting delivery across multiple capital projects.

Responsibilities include:

Reviewing and approving designs, submittals, RFIs, and technical documentation
Supporting construction, installation, and commissioning
Conducting system walkdowns to ensure installation aligns with design intent
Providing input into commissioning and system readiness
Acting as a technical advisor to Project Managers
Supporting work in a live manufacturing environment, including shutdown coordination

About the Organisation

You’ll be employed by a well-established, employee-owned engineering and project delivery firm with a strong reputation across industrial and life sciences sectors.

Employee-owned structure, offering genuine long-term upside
Highly collaborative, low-turnover environment
Engineers are given real ownership and autonomy
Opportunity to grow beyond delivery roles and contribute to business growth

You’ll be embedded on-site with a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer, giving you the visibility and impact of working directly with the end client, backed by a stable and supportive engineering organisation.

What we’re looking for

Strong HVAC expertise (SME level)
Experience supporting capital projects (design and/or construction)
Comfortable with submittals, RFIs, specs, and drawing reviews
Exposure to commissioning and system handover
Broader utilities knowledge (plumbing, waste systems etc.) is beneficial

Backgrounds considered:

Owner-side engineering / utilities teams
Engineering or design firms (EPC / A&E)

Life sciences experience is beneficial, but not essential.

If you’re an HVAC specialist who enjoys working on complex projects and wants to operate at the heart of delivery, I’d be keen to speak.

Apply or message me directly for a confidential discussion.
