You'll be the technical lead for all engineering operations on site, appointed as Senior Authorised Person for HV electrical systems, and responsible for driving 100% uptime across HV/LV, DRUPS, BMS, air conditioning (AHU/FCU/ACU), and associated critical infrastructure. You'll manage subcontractor performance, lead and develop the engineering team, and act as the key technical point of contact for client stakeholders - including monthly and quarterly engineering reporting.
What we're looking for:
- HVAP appointed - essential
- Previous SAP (Senior Authorised Person) appointment - highly desirable
- Minimum 5 years' experience in data centre or critical environment operations, at management level
- HND-level electrical qualification, or 10+ years' experience with ONC/C&G 18th Edition (BS7671)
- Proven experience managing and developing an engineering team
