Public Health Engineers (across various levels of seniority) | Data Centres & Mission-Critical Infrastructure | London

Want to engineer the infrastructure that keeps the digital world running?

BlackEdge are partnered with a globally recognised engineering consultancy to find talented Public Health Engineers to join its growing Data Centre team in London.

This is an opportunity to work on some of the world’s most complex and technologically advanced data centre and mission-critical projects, helping shape the infrastructure that powers our increasingly connected world.

The opportunity

You’ll contribute to the design and delivery of resilient, sustainable and high-performing public health and fire protection systems across hyperscale, colocation, enterprise and cloud infrastructure projects in the UK, Europe and beyond.

Working alongside leading specialists across mechanical, electrical, structural and digital engineering, you’ll help turn ambitious ideas into practical, innovative solutions — from concept design through to detailed design and construction support.

Your work will help create critical environments where reliability, efficiency and operational continuity are essential.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing public health and fire protection systems for complex, mission-critical facilities.
• Undertaking system calculations, hydraulic modelling, equipment sizing and technical specifications.
• Developing water services strategies, including domestic water, drainage and specialist systems.
• Coordinating designs with multidisciplinary engineering, architectural and BIM teams.
• Supporting the planning of plant rooms, utility connections, distribution routes and critical infrastructure spaces.
• Producing technical reports and design documentation, while collaborating with clients, contractors and equipment specialists.
• Contributing to sustainable design solutions that improve operational performance and environmental outcomes.

Why consider this opportunity?

Beyond the technical challenge, this is a chance to build your career within a purpose-led consultancy where people, collaboration and meaningful work matter.

You can expect:

• Global impact: Contribute to ambitious, industry-leading projects for major technology clients and developers.
• A collaborative culture: Work within an extraordinary collective of specialists where different perspectives are valued and individuality is encouraged.
• Purpose-driven engineering: Help deliver infrastructure that serves a vital role in society, with a focus on resilience, sustainability and long-term impact.
• Career development: Access exceptional technical expertise, learning opportunities and the chance to broaden your experience across complex international projects.
• Shared success: Join an employee-owned organisation where collective achievement is recognised through a Global Profit Share Scheme.
• Wellbeing and flexibility: Benefit from flexible working, competitive and equitable pay, private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection, accident insurance and flexible benefits to support your individual needs.

The culture is built around a simple principle: when people are supported to belong, grow and thrive, they can achieve remarkable things together.

What we’re looking for

• A degree in Building Services Engineering, Public Health Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Demonstrable experience designing public health and fire protection systems within complex buildings.
• Experience with public health calculations, hydraulic modelling and system sizing.
• Knowledge of relevant industry regulations, building codes and technical standards.
• The ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary project teams.
• Experience with BIM and digital design tools would be advantageous.
• Exposure to data centres, healthcare, mission-critical environments or other highly serviced technical facilities would be particularly valuable.
