You will be responsible for driving the technical excellence, quality, and mentoring teams while shaping strategy, winning work, and delivering resilient, efficient, and low‑carbon outcomes for our clients.

• Define and validate power architectures (utility intake, MV/LV distribution, UPS topologies, generators, switch gear, PDUs, STS, busway, earthing, and lighting).
• Lead power systems studies and protection design (load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc‑flash, harmonic analysis) using tools such as ETAP/SKM.
• Integrate monitoring and controls (BMS/EPMS/SCADA), metering strategies, and resilience features aligned to availability objectives (e.g., Tier II–IV).
• Embed decarbonization and energy efficiency (high‑efficiency UPS, advanced controls, heat recovery, demand response, on‑site renewables, and grid‑interactive strategies).
• Assure compliance with applicable standards and codes (e.g., IEC/BS/EN and/or NEC/NFPA), client specifications, and AECOM quality procedures.
• Coordinate multi‑disciplinary interfaces (mechanical, structural, architectural, fire/life safety, security, ICT) to deliver fully integrated designs.

• Strong career background in the delivery of electrical project work across data centres and mission‑critical environments.
• Proven experience leading DC project work streams in the UK and preferably across EMEA.
• Demonstrable client‑facing and work‑winning experience.
• Excellent team leadership and development capability.
• Detailed knowledge of mechanical design, engineering practices, techniques, and procedures for data centres and how they interface with the client.
• Strong commercial acumen and experience managing project financials.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Good financial understanding of projects and the requirements needed to ensure success.
