Senior Mechanical / Electrical Engineer - Founding Team -Madrid / Lisbon

Senior Mechanical / Electrical Engineer

Founding Team Opportunity | Lisbon, Portugal / Madrid, Spain

Help shape the future of IN2 in a new market.

Are you an experienced Mechanical or Electrical Engineer looking for more than another engineering position?

What if your next career move offered you the opportunity not only to work on exciting international projects, but also to help establish and grow an engineering consultancy in your own market?

At IN2 Engineering, we are expanding our international presence and looking for ambitious, experienced and commercially minded Senior Mechanical or Electrical Engineers to become among our first team members in Lisbon and Madrid.

This is not a conventional senior engineering role.

We are looking for individuals who want to combine their technical expertise with a broader role in building relationships, representing our company and contributing directly to our international growth.

For the right person, this is a rare opportunity to make a genuine impact and help shape the future of our business.

The opportunity

As one of IN2's first employees in Portugal or Spain, you will have a unique opportunity to establish yourself as a key member of our local operations while working closely with our international engineering and business development teams.

Your responsibilities will combine two important dimensions:

Technical engineering excellence

You will remain actively involved in the design and delivery of Mechanical or Electrical engineering services, contributing to projects undertaken across our international offices.

You will collaborate with experienced engineering teams and contribute to technically challenging projects, particularly across sectors such as Data Centres, Energy, Infrastructure and other specialist developments.

Local market representation and business development

You will also become a key local representative of IN2, helping us strengthen our presence, build relationships and identify new opportunities in the market.

Working closely with our international leadership and business development team, you will participate in client meetings, industry events, networking opportunities and discussions with potential business partners.

You will help build the foundations of our business in your country and contribute to shaping its long-term development.

What you will be doing

• Deliver high-quality Mechanical or Electrical engineering design and technical input on international projects.
• Collaborate with IN2's multidisciplinary engineering teams across different offices.
• Represent IN2 professionally in meetings with clients, consultants, developers and industry partners.
• Support business development activities, including networking, market intelligence, relationship management and opportunity identification.
• Attend relevant industry events, conferences and professional networking activities.
• Develop relationships with local architects, engineering consultants, project managers, developers and potential clients.
• Help establish IN2's credibility and reputation within the local engineering and construction market.
• Provide valuable local insights into industry trends, regulations and emerging commercial opportunities.
• Work closely with international leadership to support our growth strategy.
• Contribute to the future development of our local operations and wider engineering team.
  

Who we are looking for?

An experienced and respected engineering professional

You are a technically capable Mechanical or Electrical Engineer with substantial experience in engineering consultancy and a strong understanding of the local market.

You have the technical expertise and professional confidence to engage credibly with clients and senior industry stakeholders.

Someone who sees the bigger picture

You understand that successful engineering consultancies are built not only on technical excellence but also on relationships, trust and commercial awareness.

You are comfortable meeting new people, building professional networks and identifying opportunities where your expertise can make a difference.

You don't need to be an experienced salesperson. However, you should enjoy developing relationships and feel motivated by the opportunity to contribute to business growth.

A confident, independent and resilient individual

As part of our founding local team, you will initially work with a high degree of autonomy, supported by IN2's wider international organisation.

You are comfortable taking responsibility, managing your time and working independently while remaining closely connected to colleagues across other offices.

You see the challenge of helping establish a business in a new market as an exciting opportunity rather than an obstacle.

A future-minded professional

You are ambitious, driven and motivated by the opportunity to build something meaningful.

You may already be a successful Senior Engineer looking for greater influence, or you may feel that your next career move should offer broader responsibilities and a clearer route towards leadership.

Above all, you want your contribution to be recognised beyond your technical output.

What you will bring

• Significant professional experience in Mechanical or Electrical engineering design within the building services / MEP consultancy sector.
• Strong technical competence and experience delivering complex engineering projects.
• Good understanding of the local engineering, construction and consultancy market.
• Confidence in client-facing situations and strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• A proactive attitude, commercial awareness and genuine interest in business development.
• High levels of integrity, reliability, accountability and professional judgement.
• Ability to operate independently while collaborating effectively with international teams.
• Fluency in English and Portuguese (Lisbon) or English and Spanish (Madrid).
• Relevant engineering qualifications, with professional registration or chartership considered an advantage.

Experience in Data Centres, Energy, Infrastructure or other technically demanding sectors would be particularly valuable, although we are equally interested in individuals with strong transferable experience and the ambition to develop within these markets.

Why join IN2?

Because this opportunity is about more than the next project. It is about the next chapter of your career.

At IN2, you will have the opportunity to:

• Be there from the beginning: Join the founding local team of a growing international engineering consultancy.
• Make a real impact: Have a meaningful influence on how we develop our presence, relationships and reputation in your market.
• Combine engineering and business: Continue developing your technical expertise while gaining valuable exposure to international business development and commercial strategy.
• Work internationally: Collaborate with talented professionals across our established international offices on challenging and innovative projects.
• Develop your leadership potential: Help lay the foundations for future local team growth and potentially progress into wider leadership responsibilities.
• Be recognised as an individual: Join an organisation where initiative, professional judgement, relationships and contribution matter.
• Enjoy a supportive culture: Benefit from the expertise and support of an established international business that values collaboration, integrity and professional development.
• Receive a competitive package: Be rewarded fairly for your expertise, experience and the wider value you bring to IN2.
