The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and client-focused Principal Engineer with electrical experience to join our data centre team in our Frankfurt office. You will play a leading role in ensuring the successful delivery of our design solutions on some of the most notable and large-scale data centre projects in the world.

You will collaborate within our data centre team and work closely with colleagues of various disciplines to help drive and manage the delivery of technically excellent projects.

The role entails you being very closely involved with the design process and production of design deliverables, managing your immediate team of engineers. You will monitor budgets and programme, check designs, and communicate with the wider project and client team.

You will support and be supported by senior staff within the team.

Responsibilities:

• Produce electrical designs, including schematic diagrams, layouts, and technical calculations.
