What we're looking for

With a degree in Electrical Engineering or Building Services Engineering (MEng or BEng), you’ll bring significant experience from an electrical engineering role, ideally within critical systems or data centres. We’re also open to considering equivalent electrical design experience gained in other sectors.

You’ll have a strong track record of managing small to medium-scale projects and leading small teams of engineers, consistently delivering high-quality work that meets or exceeds client expectations.

Your experience will include producing electrical designs such as schematic diagrams, layouts and calculations, as well as preparing specifications and project reports, carrying out site inspections and surveys, developing detailed designs and contributing to project meetings. Through this, you’ll support project teams in delivering excellent, practical and innovative electrical design solutions.

We’re looking for someone who can bring both technical capability and a collaborative mindset. Key qualities include:

  • Confidence in taking ownership of tasks and seeing them through to completion.
  • A good understanding of Revit.
  • A proactive approach to problem solving, with the ability to help guide the team towards effective solutions.
  • An appreciation of the importance of collaboration in a multidisciplinary design environment.
  • Strong organisation, clear communication and confidence working with clients.

With an established Critical Systems team, a strong project pipeline and a supportive team culture, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow your career, develop your specialist expertise and contribute to work that has a real impact on the future of resilient, sustainable data centre design.
