Job description

Your next move: from hands-on engineer to trusted technical expert

You’ve built years of expertise in UPS, batteries, and critical power systems. Now’s your chance to step away from the tools, keep your engineering brain busy, and play a bigger part in shaping solutions from day one.

Why this role stands out

This is a global business with serious investment in R&D and an expanding footprint in the data centre market. You’ll work in a small, supportive UK team — but with the resources and innovation of an international leader.
It’s the ideal role for an engineer ready to stop fixing faults and start shaping projects, while still using their technical expertise daily. And progression isn’t just a promise — the last person in this role is now the Sales Manager. From here, you could move into senior technical leadership, product management, or sales.

What’s on offer

• £60,000–£80,000 basic depending on experience
• £600/month car allowance
• Around £10,000 annual bonus
• 25 days’ holiday + 10 UK bank holidays
• 6% employer pension contribution
• Private Bupa healthcare
• Life assurance, critical illness cover & income protection
• Paid expenses for work trips
• International product training in modern European facilities

What you’ll be doing

• Acting as the link between sales, design, and project delivery teams
• Translating customer needs into tailored UPS and data centre solutions
• Preparing quotes and presenting solutions with confidence
• Reading electrical drawings and specifications to inform designs
• Coordinating with engineering, procurement, and product management
• Producing BOMs, calculations, and supporting documents
• Delivering technical training and representing the business at industry events

What you’ll need

• Strong technical background in data centres, UPS, or other critical power environments
• Ability to read and interpret electrical designs and specifications
• Knowledge of UPS systems, batteries (Li-ion & VRLA), LV switchboards, and busways
• Confident communicator with both technical and commercial stakeholders
• Willingness to travel occasionally in the UK/Ireland and overseas for training
