• Take ownership of technical issues: manage RFIs/TQs, design clarifications and close‑out with design and client teams
• Oversee procurement: take‑offs, requisitions, lead times, deliveries and logistics coordination
• Compile and review RAMS, keeping them live as methodology and site conditions evolve
• Support testing, commissioning, IST and handover, including O&M documentation and completion records
• Report into senior project/contract leadership, flagging key risks, constraints and progress in a clear, solutions‑focused way

About You

• Proven track record running electrical packages on large‑scale MEP or critical infrastructure projects
• Data centre experience highly desirable; candidates from hospitals, pharma, labs, airports or other live critical environments also considered
• Strong subcontractor and interface management skills in complex, highly coordinated settings
• Confident balancing technical delivery with programme, quality, cost and risk
• Comfortable client‑facing, able to push for close‑out while maintaining strong relationships
• AP / HV experience within live environments is a strong plus

Why Join

• Strong pipeline of repeat work in data centres and other critical sectors
• Focus on development – internal technical training, support with higher education and professional accreditation
• Tight‑knit and delivery‑focused project teams with quick decisions and support from pre‑construction, commercial and commissioning specialists
• Trusted to run your package properly – with backing of experienced senior leadership when needed

• Company electric car or car allowance
• Bonus scheme
• Private Medical Insurance (PMI)
• Long‑term opportunity with future phases and progression across a wider critical‑projects portfolio
