A specialist contractor operating within the fire protection and critical infrastructure sector is looking to appoint two Design Engineers due to continued growth and an increasing pipeline of data centre projects.
There are two positions available:
- 1x Electrical Design Engineer
- 1x Mechanical Design Engineer
Both positions require experience working with fire detection and fire suppression systems, ideally within data centre or other mission-critical environments.
The Role
The successful engineers will be responsible for producing and developing technical designs for specialist fire protection systems across data centre and critical infrastructure projects.
You will work closely with project managers, engineers, clients, consultants, and installation teams to ensure designs are technically compliant, buildable, and delivered in line with project requirements.
