Lift & Escalator Design Consultant (Hybrid – London Area)

Want to work on the kind of buildings people actually recognise?

We’re looking for a Lift & Escalator Consultant to join a leading technology and safety consultancy, supporting the design and delivery of major UK and international projects. From high-rise developments to complex public infrastructure, you’ll play a key role in how people move through modern buildings.

This is a great opportunity for someone with hands-on lift or escalator experience who wants to step into a more strategic, design-led role — or an existing consultant looking to work on bigger, more complex projects.

? Why this role stands out

• Work on high-profile, large-scale developments across the UK and internationally
• Genuine hybrid flexibility – split your time between home, office, and site
• Be involved early in building design and strategy, not just maintenance
• Clear career progression within a global consultancy
• Exposure to cutting-edge building design, BIM, and smart technologies

? What you’ll be doing

• Advising clients on lift, escalator, and people movement systems
• Supporting the design and planning of vertical transport in major buildings
• Carrying out site surveys, inspections, and quality audits
• Producing technical reports, specifications, and RIBA stage deliverables
• Creating and reviewing CAD/BIM drawings and traffic analysis models
• Building strong relationships with clients and contributing to project delivery

? What we’re looking for

• Background in lifts, escalators, or vertical transport engineering
• Comfortable working with clients and explaining technical concepts
• Experience with traffic analysis, planning, or system design (or willingness to learn)
• Strong IT skills (Excel essential; CAD/BIM helpful)

Nice to have (not essential):

• Experience in consultancy
• MSc in Lift Engineering or similar
• Project management experience
• Knowledge of façade access systems

? What’s in it for you

• 33+ days holiday + bank holidays
• Pension, life assurance & wellbeing support
• Flexible hybrid working
• Private medical & car allowance (role dependent)
• Structured career development and progression
• Access to international projects and opportunities

? Why apply?

If you’ve worked in lifts or escalators and want to move into a role where you influence how buildings are designed — not just maintained, this is a rare chance to do it.
