We need engineers who share this passion for sustainability and thrive in designing energy efficient buildings and communities. Our dedicated Critical Systems team plays a key role in making mission critical buildings more energy efficient, sustainable and cost effective to operate. The team works almost exclusively in the data centre field, keeping abreast of current best practice while researching breakthrough technologies that shape future trends. Our team are a source of world leading expertise and offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, and professional excellence. We work closely with our clients to develop, improve and deploy their standard ‘template’ designs across the world and so have the unique opportunity to influence the future of data centre design. We also work on many bespoke data centre projects.

Note: Diversity and inclusion are core to our culture, with a commitment to welcoming applications from all backgrounds and identities.

The Role

Join us as we move to our new city centre office and embark on a hyperscale data centre project in the North East. This expansion builds on the incredible successes and growth of our European-wide Critical Systems team. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and client-focused Senior or Principal Electrical Engineer to join our Critical Systems team in our Newcastle office, and to play a leading role in ensuring the successful delivery of innovative electrical design solutions on some of the most notable and large-scale data centre projects in the world.

You will collaborate within our critical systems team and work closely with colleagues of various disciplines to help drive and manage the delivery of technically excellent and profitable projects.

The role entails you being closely involved within the design process and production of design deliverables, managing your immediate team of engineers. You will monitor budgets and programme, checking designs and communicating with the wider project and client team.

You will use your existing expertise, enthusiasm and dedication to manage, motivate and inspire your colleagues, including helping to develop less experienced engineers.

You will support, and be supported by, senior staff within the team.
