About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our data center delivery team, supporting large-scale, mission-critical projects in Dublin and across the EU.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with one of Europe's leading contractors in the data center sector, delivering some of the largest and most complex facilities under construction.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform detailed electrical engineering tasks including cable pulling, termination, testing, and panel works.
  • Supervise and mentor electrical teams and subcontractors during installation and commissioning phases.
  • Ensure electrical systems (LV/MV/HV, UPS, generators, switchgear, BMS, fire alarm, and critical power) are installed to project specifications.
  • Work closely with project managers, commissioning teams, and QA/QC to ensure deadlines and quality standards are met.
  • Conduct inspections, troubleshoot issues, and perform hands-on corrective work as required.
  • Ensure compliance with health & safety, statutory, and client-specific requirements.
  • Provide technical guidance during FAT, SAT, and commissioning stages.
  • Travel to European project sites for extended periods as part of the delivery team.
Requirements
  • Degree/Diploma in Electrical Engineering or equivalent trade qualification.
  • Minimum 5+ years' electrical experience, with at least 2-3 years in data center or mission-critical environments, at least one completed project.
  • Proven track record in on-site electrical installation and commissioning (not just design).
  • Strong understanding of LV, MV, and HV systems, UPS, generators, and critical facility infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with MEP coordination and large-scale construction environments.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and specifications and translate into on-site works.
  • Strong leadership and mentoring skills with the ability to direct teams and subcontractors.
  • Willingness to travel across the EU on rotation or assignment.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary + allowances
  • Travel, accommodation, and subsistence package for EU projects
  • Long-term career progression within Europe's leading data center contractors
  • Exposure to Europe's most advanced hyperscale and colocation facilities
