The Data Centre Design Engineer would take a leading role as part of the Data Centre team as a specialist in Data Centre Engineering, supporting all disciplines around Data Centre projects and co-ordinating the production of data centre audits, proposals and design deliverables.

Sudlows Data Centre Design team work closely with clients throughout the lifecycle of a data centre project and therefore the Data Centre Designer is required to have a good level of understanding and experience allowing them to produce quality proposals, undertake facility audits, and develop designs as required to meet the requirements of the customer. The successful candidate will have experience in the industry to allow them to support the client in determining the best way to progress a project or requirement.

The suitable candidate will be fully proficient with typical office software e.g MS Office (Word/Excel/Powerpoint) and a basic understanding of AutoCAD / Revit and BIM would be preferred although not essential.
