Job description

Electrical Engineer – Data Centres and Critical Systems

Location: Frankfurt, Germany

Package: Competitive, negotiable salary and benefits package

Chemistree Solutions is recruiting an Electrical Engineer to join a specialist data centre design team within a global, independent engineering consultancy.

This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging regional and international projects, combining electrical design with project delivery, client engagement and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Previous data centre experience is not essential. Engineers with strong electrical design and consultancy experience from other technical environments will receive structured training and mentoring to develop their expertise in this sector.

The role

Reporting to an Associate, you will contribute to the design and delivery of electrical engineering solutions for data centres and critical systems. You will coordinate project activities, work closely with clients and colleagues, and help ensure designs meet technical, programme and budget requirements.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing electrical designs, including schematic diagrams, layouts, technical calculations, fault studies and discrimination studies.
• Preparing specifications, equipment schedules, technical reports and supporting documentation in line with client briefs.
• Coordinating electrical designs with other engineering disciplines, specialist consultants and project stakeholders.
• Managing project activities and resources to meet agreed deadlines and budgets.
• Reviewing drawings, calculations, specifications and reports to maintain technical accuracy and quality.
• Attending client and project meetings, providing electrical engineering expertise and resolving technical queries with contractors, architects and manufacturers.
• Undertaking site inspections and surveys to inform designs and assess works against specifications.
• Monitoring project progress and financial performance, reporting to the Associate and identifying emerging issues.
• Sharing technical knowledge and supporting the development of junior engineers and CAD technicians.
• Collaborating with regional and international colleagues to deliver coordinated design packages.

About you

You will bring proven electrical design experience within consulting engineering, together with the ability to communicate effectively and contribute to the successful delivery of technical projects.

We are looking for:

• Experience producing electrical designs, calculations, specifications and technical reports.
• Sound technical judgement and a practical approach to solving engineering problems.
• The ability to organise your workload, coordinate project activities and meet deadlines.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary teams and communicating with clients and other stakeholders.
• A collaborative approach, with a willingness to share knowledge and support colleagues.
• A commitment to technical quality, clear reporting and continuing professional development.

Experience in data centres or other highly technical environments would be valuable, but data centre experience is not a requirement. A degree in Electrical Engineering, Building Services

Engineering or a related discipline is desirable, as is Chartered status or progress towards professional recognition.

The consultancy and your development

Our client is an independent, partner-owned, multidisciplinary engineering consultancy delivering sustainable design solutions across the built environment. Its specialist data centre team works on projects worldwide, with a focus on resilient, low-carbon engineering and collaborative delivery.

You will have access to the structured DC101 training programme, combining technical learning with live project work and mentoring from specialist designers. Support is available to develop your data centre expertise and progress towards Chartership where appropriate.

Applications are welcomed from people of all backgrounds and identities. Our client is committed to an inclusive working environment where colleagues are valued, respected and supported.
