Senior Electrical Engineer - Data Centre
The Role
We're looking for an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to join a growing team working on major data centre and critical infrastructure projects across the UK and Europe.
This is a hands-on technical role for someone who enjoys working on complex electrical systems and wants to be involved in projects where reliability, resilience, and performance are essential. You'll have the opportunity to work with major developers, operators, contractors, and other specialist stakeholders, taking projects from the early design stages through to delivery and commissioning.
The projects will span a range of environments, including large-scale data centre campuses, colocation facilities, and edge developments. You'll be working on increasingly demanding power requirements driven by high-density computing, AI infrastructure, and the continued expansion of digital infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Take technical ownership of electrical engineering packages across a range of data centre projects.
- Develop practical and robust electrical solutions from initial concept through detailed design and delivery.
- Produce and review technical documentation, including calculations, drawings, specifications, reports, and schedules.
- Design and assess critical power systems with a focus on resilience, availability, and maintainability.
- Work across LV systems, generators, UPS, busbars, monitoring systems, and associated electrical controls.
- Coordinate HV and MV requirements with utilities, network operators, specialist consultants, manufacturers, and contractors.
- Work closely with other engineering disciplines to ensure fully coordinated project solutions.
- Review technical submissions, drawings, and proposals from contractors and suppliers.
- Provide engineering support throughout procurement, construction, and commissioning.
- Attend site when required to undertake inspections, resolve technical issues, and support testing and commissioning activities.
- Take an active role in developing junior engineers, sharing knowledge, and helping to maintain high technical standards across the team.
- Build strong working relationships with clients and confidently communicate technical information during meetings, workshops, and design reviews.
