Job description

About the Role

We're looking for a Modular Electrical Design Engineer to join our growing Modular Services team.

In this role, you'll be responsible for developing detailed electrical designs and integrated engineering solutions for our LV Modular Power Pods, supporting projects from concept through manufacture, installation and commissioning. Working alongside mechanical design, BIM and production teams, you'll play a key role in delivering innovative, high-quality modular power solutions for mission-critical environments.

The Modular Services team is at the forefront of designing and delivering prefabricated power infrastructure that helps support some of the world's most demanding data centre projects. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical design expertise with modern methods of construction and wants to be part of a business investing heavily in innovation, growth and engineering excellence.

If you're looking for a role solely focused on producing drawings in isolation, this probably isn't it. If you enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and seeing your designs come to life on complex, high-impact projects, we'd love to hear from you.
