Job Description

Senior Electrical Engineer – Data Centres

A rapidly expanding engineering consultancy is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to help drive major growth across hyperscale data centre, AI infrastructure, life sciences, and high-tech commercial projects. The company has big plans and is scaling hard in Europe and the US, investing in new sectors, new teams, and next-gen engineering capability — so it’s a genuine chance for a Senior Electrical Engineer to get in during an exciting phase.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you’ll lead electrical building services design from concept to handover, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and support junior talent, all while pushing innovation, reliability, and sustainability across mission-critical environments.

What makes this opportunity attractive:

  • The company is in rapid expansion mode and winning major hyperscale + AI-driven projects

  • Exposure to cutting-edge clients investing heavily in digital + infrastructure growth

  • Clear progression paths for a Senior Electrical Engineer into leadership, delivery, or technical specialist tracks

  • Culture is quality-focused, collaborative, and supportive — not a churn-and-burn environment

  • Opportunity to influence standards, delivery models, and best practice at a pivotal stage of growth


What you’ll be doing

  • As a Senior Electrical Engineer, leading electrical building services design end-to-end

  • Acting as a key liaison between clients, architects, contractors, and PMs

  • Driving innovative electrical solutions across lighting, power distribution, life safety systems, and critical power

  • Producing tender packages, design reports, load calculations, and technical specifications

  • Overseeing site delivery, compliance, quality checks, and commissioning

  • Mentoring junior/graduate engineers and shaping electrical design standards


Tech skills they'd love

  • Electrical building services design (lighting, power, fire alarm, security, emergency systems, etc.)

  • Knowledge of IEC, IS, BS, EN regulations + familiarity with CIBSE & IET codes

  • Software experience with AutoCAD, Revit MEP, Dialux, Bluebeam, etc.

  • Experience producing electrical load calculations + system coordination

  • Awareness of sustainable design + low-energy electrical solutions


Ideal background

  • 6–8+ years in electrical building services engineering

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering (or similar)

  • Chartered or working towards chartership

  • Proven experience leading MEP/electrical design projects

  • Exposure to commercial, life sciences, healthcare or data centre projects


If you’re a Senior Electrical Engineer who wants to move beyond the everyday projects and get stuck into hyperscale, AI, and high-tech infrastructure while the company is still growing fast, this role would be an exciting switch.
