Intermediate / Senior Electrical Engineer - Data Centres

Location: London

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Intermediate or Senior Electrical Engineer to join an established building services engineering consultancy in London, working on complex projects with a strong focus on data centres and mission-critical infrastructure.
This role offers the chance to contribute to the design and delivery of technically demanding projects where electrical engineering, system resilience and reliability are essential. You will work alongside experienced engineers and multidisciplinary project teams, developing your technical expertise while taking on increasing responsibility for design delivery and coordination.

You will be involved in the electrical design of building services systems across a range of projects, with a particular emphasis on data centres and other technically complex environments.
Working from early design stages through to detailed design and construction, you will help develop practical, efficient and coordinated electrical solutions. You will collaborate with colleagues, external consultants, clients and contractors to ensure designs meet project requirements and are delivered to a high standard.
Depending on your experience, you will either work under the guidance of senior team members or take a leading role in managing design packages and coordinating project deliverables.

• Develop electrical building services designs from initial concepts through to detailed design and construction.
• Prepare electrical calculations, drawings, specifications, schedules and technical documentation.
• Contribute to the design of electrical distribution systems, power infrastructure, standby power and associated systems for critical environments.
• Support the delivery of data centre projects, considering reliability, resilience, capacity and operational requirements.
• Coordinate electrical designs with mechanical services, structural engineering, architecture and other specialist disciplines.
• Liaise with clients, consultants and contractors to resolve technical queries and maintain project progress.
• Attend design meetings and site visits where required, supporting the implementation of designs during construction.
• Ensure design work complies with relevant regulations, standards and project specifications.
• Identify technical issues and contribute to effective, commercially practical engineering solutions.
• For Senior-level candidates, take ownership of design packages, manage deliverables and provide technical guidance to junior engineers.

You will have a background in electrical building services engineering and a genuine interest in developing your experience on complex, technically challenging projects.
You will ideally have:

• Experience in electrical building services design within a consultancy or similar engineering environment.
• A good understanding of electrical design principles, calculations, drawings and technical specifications.
• Experience using industry-standard design tools and producing coordinated design information.
• An understanding of project delivery from concept design through to construction.
• A methodical approach to problem-solving, with good attention to detail and an appreciation of technical quality.

For Senior-level applicants, experience leading design packages, coordinating external design teams and mentoring junior engineers would be advantageous.
Experience in data centre design would be particularly valuable, although candidates with a strong electrical building services background and a desire to develop in this sector will also be considered.

• Specialist project exposure: Develop your experience on complex data centre and mission-critical engineering projects.
• Technical development: Build your knowledge of electrical infrastructure, power resilience and the systems that support critical operations.
• Career progression: Opportunities to take on greater responsibility in line with your experience and ambitions.
• Collaborative environment: Work alongside engineers and project professionals across multiple disciplines.
• Varied responsibilities: Combine technical design with coordination, problem-solving and involvement throughout the project lifecycle.

If you are an Intermediate or Senior Electrical Engineer looking for your next opportunity in London, and are interested in working on challenging building services and data centre projects, we would welcome a conversation.
We are keen to hear from engineers who want to develop their technical capabilities, take ownership of their work and contribute to the delivery of complex engineering projects.
