Modular engineer (DFMA and Modular construction)

We are seeking an experienced Modular Delivery Engineer to join a growing pre-construction team delivering innovative modular and DfMA solutions across complex construction and mission-critical projects.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in transforming how projects are designed, manufactured, and delivered. Working closely with design teams, consultants, contractors, and manufacturing partners, you will help identify, develop, and implement modular MEP solutions that improve efficiency, reduce risk, enhance sustainability, and deliver greater value for clients.

The successful candidate will be involved throughout the entire project lifecycle, from bid stage through to project delivery, supporting multiple high-profile projects simultaneously.

Key Responsibilities

• Support bid, estimating, and pre-construction teams with technical modular delivery expertise.
• Review project drawings, specifications, reports, and design information to identify modularisation opportunities.
• Develop innovative DfMA and offsite manufacturing strategies aligned with project requirements.
• Produce and manage RFIs to clarify design intent and project requirements.
• Collaborate with estimating teams to develop cost-effective modular solutions and delivery strategies.
• Review architectural, structural, and MEP designs to optimise modular integration and installation.
• Provide technical input into modular framework and module designs.
• Prepare technical submissions and documentation to support approvals and project compliance.
• Coordinate structural analysis requirements and review outputs to ensure design viability.
• Assess steelwork requirements, material availability, and associated commercial impacts.
• Review turnkey package designs to ensure alignment with modular and prefabrication strategies.
• Manage interfaces between design, manufacturing, logistics, and site installation teams.
• Monitor module installation activities and verify compliance with approved structural and engineering designs.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
• Drive collaboration and communication across all project stakeholders throughout the modular delivery process.

About You

We are looking for a technically strong engineer who thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys challenging traditional construction methodologies.

Essential Requirements

• Degree, HNC, HND, or equivalent qualification in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• Strong understanding of MEP systems and their integration within modular construction environments.
• Experience delivering modular, DfMA, prefabrication, or offsite manufacturing solutions.
• Proficiency with Autodesk Navisworks, Revizto, or similar model review software.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to identify innovative engineering solutions.
• High attention to detail and commitment to technical accuracy.
• Commercial awareness and understanding of sustainable design principles.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within multidisciplinary teams.

Desirable

• Knowledge of both Mechanical and Electrical engineering disciplines.
• Experience using document management platforms such as Aconex, Kahua, Asite, or similar.
• Previous experience within data centres, mission-critical facilities, advanced manufacturing, pharmaceutical, industrial, or large-scale construction projects.
• Understanding of structural engineering principles and steelwork design considerations.
