Senior Datacenter Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Data Centre Design Engineer to join a major IT Services provider in a lead, design-assurance role supporting large-scale European data centre programmes.

This is not a pure build role. You'll act as a technical authority, reviewing designs, shaping delivery plans, and overseeing implementation across complex, enterprise environments.

Key Responsibilities

Review and approve data centre designs (new build and expansion) * Act as lead technical engineer / design authority * Develop high-level delivery and implementation plans * Provide technical governance throughout the project lifecycle * Oversee implementation and resolve design or delivery risks * Engage with internal teams, vendors, and customer stakeholders * Support design sign-off and senior technical discussions

Strong experience delivering large-scale data centre deployments * Proven data centre design background (compute, storage, network, power, cooling) * Experience operating as a lead engineer or technical authority * Able to translate designs into practical delivery plans * Comfortable overseeing delivery rather than day-to-day build * Willing to travel across Europe (approx. 50%)

Desirable

Exposure to AI / HPC data centre environments (e.g. GPU-dense, NVIDIA platforms) * Experience with high-density, high-power DC designs * Background working for an IT services provider or systems integrator
