Are you an experienced Electrical Biased technical Engineer with a passion for leading teams in critical environments?

Do you thrive under pressure, keeping systems running where downtime isn't an option?

Join our Data Centre Solutions team as a Shift Manager — a key leadership role within one of the world's most advanced and fast-paced technical environments.

As a Shift Manager, you'll be the on-site technical lead, driving operational excellence across critical electrical and mechanical systems.

  • Respond swiftly to Building Management System (BMS) alarms and manage incidents in real time.
  • Maintain mechanical and electrical systems (including cooling, power, and water) to industry standards such as L8.
  • Supervise vendors and subcontractors to ensure high performance and adherence to operational processes.
  • Drive technical training, mentoring, and team development.
  • Lead from the front — ensuring the safety, reliability, and resilience of critical infrastructure always.

About You

You're a technically strong professional who's calm under pressure, confident in your decision-making, and driven by the challenge of managing complex systems in 24/7 environments.

You'll bring:

  • HV Authorisation and demonstrable experience in HV/LV switching operations.
  • A Level 3 NVQ (or equivalent) in a relevant electrical or mechanical discipline.
  • Strong working knowledge of critical environments such as data centres, hospitals, or financial facilities.
  • Proven ability to lead shift teams and manage incident response in real time.
  • Up-to-date knowledge of Wiring Regulations, health and safety compliance, and permit-to-work systems.
  • Exceptional communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships with clients, contractors, and colleagues.
  • A proactive approach to safety, mentoring, and continuous improvement.

Desirable:

  • PASMA / IPAF certification
  • Emergency First Aid at Work
  • Experience managing BMS, PMS, and fire systems

Why Join Us?

  • Work with cutting-edge critical systems in a highly secure, high-availability environment.
  • Lead a team of talented engineers who value collaboration, ownership, and excellence.
  • Access structured career development, technical training, and leadership pathways.
  • Be part of a global organisation where your work keeps mission-critical operations running smoothly
  • Ready to lead from the front in one of the industry's most technically advanced environments?
