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.

• 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

Required Experience

• 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
