Senior electrical.
London.
The data centre work that most electrical engineers only read about.
Data centres are the fastest-growing segment of the built environment, and the electrical engineers who can design them properly are in genuine short supply.
If you have been working across general building services and watching the mission-critical sector from the outside, this is the opening.
A London MEP consultancy is looking for a Senior or Principal Electrical Design Engineer with experience in, or a strong appetite for, mission-critical environments.
The firm is established in this sector.
The work is complex: power density, resilience requirements, UPS and generator systems, HV considerations.
The kind of technical challenge that a standard commercial project does not offer.
Based in Central London.
Full-time.
The difference between Senior and Principal in this practice is about technical authority and client ownership, not years of service.
If your work justifies the step up, the title comes with it.
You will have strong UK building services electrical experience.
Data centre or mission-critical background is a significant advantage.
If you are coming from a commercial background with demonstrable technical depth, that is still a conversation worth having.
Salary is between £58,000 and £95,000 depending on level, in line with Responsum's 2026 UK Built Environment Salary Guide for Electrical Engineers in London.
Flexibility for exceptional candidates.
Direct approach or formal application both welcomed.
