The information you’ve chosen to display in your resume - and how you have done so - doesn’t convey to the reader that you know/understand your target audience - which is a consulting firm. Look to make your resume in HBS style
Your experience unfortunately doesn’t stand out above other candidates, certainly not for McK and BCG, and probably the other consultancies too. Try obtaining a stand-out experience, e.g. a Masters degree from a top 5 uni (from the way you listed your degree and CIBSE experience, I assume you’re in the UK)?
