As a Site/Resident Engineer
As a Site/Resident Engineer who can be embedded on site within one of Europe's most active data centre markets, acting as the key electrical representative throughout construction, installation and commissioning phases.
This is a genuine site-based role for someone who enjoys working closely with contractors, clients and project teams, solving problems in real time and maintaining the highest standards of quality and technical compliance.
Based in London
Based in London, you'll work on cutting-edge data centre and mission-critical developments while also having the opportunity to support other projects across the portfolio as they progress. If you are passionate about electrical engineering, enjoy being close to project delivery, and want to be part of a growing organisation where your expertise is highly valued, this role provides an outstanding platform for long-term career development.
What's In It For You

- Exposure to World-Class Projects – You'll work on large-scale data centres and other mission-critical facilities where reliability, performance and technical excellence are essential.
- Variety Across Multiple Developments – While Frankfurt will be your primary location, you'll have opportunities to support other live projects, gaining valuable experience across different sites, teams and project stages.
- Technical Ownership & Influence – You'll act as the resident electrical authority on site, providing technical guidance, reviewing installations, identifying issues early and helping drive successful project outcomes.
- Career Progression – Join a growing organisation where site delivery expertise is highly valued. This role offers a clear pathway to senior resident engineering, project leadership and wider regional responsibilities.
- Collaborative & Values-Driven Culture – Work alongside experienced engineers and project teams who are passionate about quality, continuous improvement and delivering exceptional results for clients.
