Warm, efficient buildings can reduce preventable illness, improve school attendance, stabilise household finances and lower carbon emissions at the same time.

These effects are predictable and cumulative. As thermal performance improves, pressure across public services decreases, while resilience to energy and climate risk increases.

Designing heat well therefore acts as a systemic lever, supporting multiple outcomes simultaneously.

As a Mechanical Engineer at Generation 7, you’ll support feasibility studies, concept designs and detailed engineering for decentralised energy and building systems.

You’ll produce calculations, drawings, models and specifications with all the support you need, helping carry ideas from early thinking into something that can be built, run and trusted.

You’ll work across disciplines so mechanical choices stay connected to electrical, controls and real world use.

This tends to suit someone with one to two years in building services, energy or mechanical engineering, with a solid academic foundation and growing confidence in practice.

You’re familiar with heat pumps, low temperature hot water or district heating and you understand that stages like RIBA or BSRIA are where outcomes get locked in.

You’re detail minded, collaborative and motivated by meaning as much as metrics. You ask good questions before you draw conclusions.

Our application process isn’t a performance. It’s a conversation.
