About the Role
Working in our Data Centres Market Sector, you will be an ambassador in the data centre community externally across EMEA and internally within AECOM Europe and globally.
With experience in technical delivery of data centre projects for tech firms and a strong track record in tech firm business development you will lead a team of technical experts across the UK and work closely with our global colleagues in the Data Centre sector.
Due to the continued successful growth and expansion of our Technology / Data Centre Sector, we are looking for an experienced Electrical Associate Director to join us.
You will be responsible for driving the technical excellence, quality, and mentoring teams while shaping strategy, winning work, and delivering resilient, efficient, and low‑carbon outcomes for our clients.
Responsibilities
- Own electrical design across feasibility, concept, scheme, and detailed design, through procurement support, construction, commissioning, and handover.
- Define and validate power architectures (utility intake, MV/LV distribution, UPS topologies, generators, switchgear, PDUs, STS, busway, earthing, and lighting).
- Lead power systems studies and protection design (load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc‑flash, harmonic analysis) using tools such as ETAP/SKM.
- Integrate monitoring and controls (BMS/EPMS/SCADA), metering strategies, and resilience features aligned to availability objectives (e. g., Tier II‑IV).
- Embed decarbonization and energy efficiency (high‑efficiency UPS, advanced controls, heat recovery, demand response, on‑site renewables, and grid‑interactive strategies).
- Assure compliance with applicable standards and codes (e. g., IEC/BS/EN and/or NEC/NFPA), client specifications, and AECOM quality procedures.
- Coordinate multi‑disciplinary interfaces (mechanical, structural, architectural, fire/life safety, security, ICT) to deliver fully integrated designs.
Qualifications
- Hyperscale and/or multi‑site program experience, including fast‑track and design‑build environments.
- Strong career background in the delivery of Electrical project work across Data Centres and Mission Critical Environments.
- Proven experience of leading DC project work streams in the UK and preferably across EMEA.
- Demonstrable client‑facing and work‑winning experience.
- Excellent team leadership and development capability.
- Detailed knowledge of Mechanical design, engineering practices, techniques and procedures for Data Centres and how it ultimately interfaces with the client.
- Strong commercial acumen and experience in managing project financials.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Financial understanding of projects and the requirements needed to ensure the success of a project.
As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we believe in each person's potential, and we'll help you reach yours.
