About the Role
Lead the electrical design behind some of Europe's most advanced hyperscale data centres.
Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer looking to take ownership of major mission-critical projects from concept through to completion?
We're working with a leading specialist contractor who are opening a new North-West office to deliver some of the UK's most complex hyperscale data centre developments. As part of their continued growth, they're looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the electrical engineering process throughout pre-construction and project delivery.
This is an opportunity to influence projects from day one, working alongside pre-construction, design, commercial and delivery teams to ensure world-class engineering solutions are developed and successfully delivered.
The Role
As Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll play a key role in developing technically robust, buildable and cost-effective electrical solutions across large-scale hyperscale data centre projects.
