Electrical Engineer – Data Centre

(For people who know a test pack isn’t something you “get around to later”)

A lot of electrical engineering roles claim to be “complex.”

This one actually is — because it’s on a data centre project, and data centres don’t forgive sloppy engineering, missing information, or “we’ll sort that later.”

If you enjoy technical clarity, structured delivery, and seeing systems go from design to live without drama, you’ll probably like this job.

If you prefer cruising through a project hoping someone else spots the gaps — this won’t be your happiest place.

We’re hiring an Electrical Engineer who can own the engineering cycle from design review to commissioning, making sure the installation on site matches what’s on paper, and what’s on paper actually makes sense.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Review electrical designs and call out gaps, inconsistencies or wishful thinking
• Validate cable sizing and make recommendations that don’t break physics
• Drive technical submittals through approvals without letting them gather dust
• Track procurement, chase equipment, and verify what arrives matches what was ordered
• Keep supply chain progress visible and aligned with the construction programme
• Work with BIM to make sure the installation is buildable — not theoretical art
• Coordinate with design teams and vendors to ensure everything operates as intended
• Carry out electrical system walk‑downs to confirm compliance
• Prepare test packs, FTOPs and O&Ms and get them approved
• Manage specialist vendors during commissioning
• Deliver client training when required

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll report to the Project Manager or Electrical Engineering Lead, and work closely with:

• BIM
• Supply chain partners
• Specialist vendors
• Site supervisors
• Design teams

Basically: the people who will either help the project succeed or make your life interesting.

What You’ll Need

• A degree in Engineering
• Experience in electrical engineering on major projects (data centre experience is ideal)
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, installation and commissioning
• Organised, reliable, and able to keep multiple technical threads moving at once
• Able to handle pressure without dropping standards

Who This Role Suits Someone Who

• Spots design issues early
• Enjoys technical problem‑solving
• Communicates clearly with everyone from PMs to vendors
• Likes structure, process and accuracy
• Cares about getting systems working exactly as intended

Why this matters

In a data centre, electrical engineering isn’t “supporting the project” — it is the project.

If you want a role where your work directly determines whether a mission‑critical facility goes live on time and performs flawlessly, this is it.

Kirby Group Engineering is an equal opportunities employer. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates, regardless of race, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or age.
