Electrical Design Engineer
About the Company
Across the data center industry – from deployment, through operations and maintenance, to decommissioning – Salute is the industry leader of delivering global data center services executed with precision.
This is a rare opportunity to join a growing organisation in the critical infrastructure sector and to develop with the business as it matures.
We are looking for an innovative, dedicated Electrical Design Engineer who understands data centre infrastructure and can implement current international trends and technologies in critical AI, HPC, and cloud environments.
You will join a dedicated design team with a wide range of experience in this sector. Your role will be to work with the team to develop solutions, define problems, prepare scopes and tender information, provide technical support internally and externally, support on-site delivery, demonstrations and handover, conduct audits and surveys, and make informed recommendations on behalf of our clients.
We will enable you to perform at high velocity by removing unnecessary organisational blockers and giving you direct access to decision-makers and information.
About the Role
To be successful in the role:
- You will need a firm understanding of critical and data centre infrastructure, with a focus on electrical systems, but with awareness of mechanical and controls integration. You should be agile, capable of performance-driven decision-making, apply design thinking, view issues objectively, and demonstrate strong social, economic and cultural awareness, with low ego and a genuine commitment to teamwork.
- You must be able to analyse and understand complex systems, identify root causes of issues or risks, and decide on actions to resolve them.
- Focus on getting the basics right. Ensure that what we produce and communicate can be relied upon, implemented and operated in live environments.
- Put the customer first. Work proactively to become a trusted advisor who is visible, accessible and clear when the customer needs support.
- Be commercially aware. Understand the customer's critical priorities and be mindful of the technical and commercial drivers that underpin their success.
- Understand the designer's role in standard construction and engineering contracts (for example FIDIC, JCT, MF1 or similar).
