What you will do

• •Lead the engineering development and full product lifecycle of data‑centre chillers and commercial heat‑pump systems for the European market.
• •Own the technical delivery of HVAC products, ensuring they meet EU performance, safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
• •Translate customer needs, regulatory obligations, and market insights into clear, robust engineering solutions.
• •Drive cost, quality, reliability, and efficiency improvements across existing and new products.
• •Support prototype builds, laboratory and field testing, certification, and customer validation activities across Europe.
• •Mentor and develop engineering team members, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
• •Act as a key technical partner to Product Management, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Service teams, and global engineering centres.

How you will do it

• •Deliver end‑to‑end engineering ownership, from concept through design, validation, industrialisation, and lifecycle management.
• •Develop and review engineering specifications, CAD designs, calculations, test plans, P&IDs, and RFQs.
• •Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering inputs across mechanical, electrical, controls, and compliance domains.
• •Apply LEAN engineering methodologies (A3, 8D, value‑stream mapping, standard work) to improve speed, quality, and predictability.
• •Ensure compliance with relevant EU regulations and standards, including Ecodesign/ErP, low‑GWP refrigerant requirements, and CE conformity.
• •Partner with manufacturing and supply chain teams to enable design‑for‑manufacture and design‑for‑service.
• •Collaborate closely with global design hubs in York (US) and Wuxi (China) to align platforms and best practices.

What we look for

• •Degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s) in Mechanical, Thermal, or Energy Engineering.
• •7–12 years’ experience in HVAC product engineering, ideally within chillers and/or heat‑pump technologies.
• •Strong technical knowledge of thermodynamics, HVAC/R system design, and low‑GWP refrigerants.
• •Proven experience working with EU regulations and standards, including:
• •EN 378
• •EU F‑Gas Regulation
• •Pressure Equipment Directive
• •Machinery Directive
• •ATEX Directive
• •Electrical safety of machinery
• •ISO/EN and national building & ventilation standards

• •Demonstrated success applying LEAN engineering practices in a product development environment.
• •Strong problem‑solving, collaboration, and documentation skills.
• •Fluency in English; additional European languages are an advantage.
