Kirby Group EngineeringElectrical Engineer - Data Centre
(For people who know a test pack isn't something you "get around to later")
A lot of electrical engineering roles claim to be "complex."
This one actually is — because it's on a data centre project, and data centres don't forgive sloppy engineering, missing information, or "we'll sort that later.
"
If you enjoy technical clarity, structured delivery, and seeing systems go from design to live without drama, you'll probably like this job.
If you prefer cruising through a project hoping someone else spots the gaps — this won't be your happiest place.
We're hiring an Electrical Engineer who can own the engineering cycle from design review to commissioning, making sure the installation on site matches what's on paper, and what's on paper actually makes sense.
What you'll actually do Not the fluffy brochure version — the real work:
Review electrical designs and call out gaps, inconsistencies or wishful thinking
Validate cable sizing and make recommendations that don't break physics
Drive technical submittals through approvals without letting them gather dust
Track procurement, chase equipment, and verify what arrives matches what was ordered
Keep supply chain progress visible and aligned with the construction programme
BIM to make sure the installation is buildable — not theoretical art
Coordinate with design teams and vendors to ensure everything operates as intended
Carry out electrical system walk‑downs to confirm compliance
Prepare test packs, FTOPs and O&Ms and get them approved
Manage specialist vendors during commissioning
Deliver client training when required
It's a role for someone who likes engineering that leads somewhere — specifically, towards a fully tested, commissioned, functioning facility.
You'll report to the Project Manager or Electrical Engineering Lead, and work closely with:
the people who will either help the project succeed or make your life interesting.
What You'll Need A degree in Engineering
Experience in electrical engineering on major projects (data centre experience is ideal)
Strong understanding of electrical systems, installation and commissioning
Organised, reliable, and able to keep multiple technical threads moving at once
Able to handle pressure without dropping standards
Who This Role Suits Someone Who
Communicates clearly with everyone from PMs to vendors
Likes structure, process and accuracy
Cares about getting systems working exactly as intended
Why this matters In a data centre, electrical engineering isn't "supporting the project" — it is the project.
If you want a role where your work directly determines whether a mission‑critical facility goes live on time and performs flawlessly, this is it.
