The Role
This is a pivotal role within our Construction Standards team, which oversees the engineering integrity of the Group’s core data centres, international offices, customer branch network, and UK Office Hub locations.

Ensure standards are implemented consistently and compliantly across all projects and operational environments.
Champion innovation in building services design, specification, and delivery.
Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to embed best practices and emerging technologies.
Provide technical leadership and assurance across construction, refurbishment, and maintenance programmes.
Support the Group’s sustainability goals through energy-efficient and low-carbon engineering solutions.
Monitor compliance and performance, identifying opportunities for improvement and risk mitigation.
Contribute to the resilience and operational excellence of the Group’s data centre infrastructure.
Engage with digital transformation initiatives including BIM, Digital Twinning, and smart asset management.
What We’re Looking For
Chartered Engineer status (or working towards) in a relevant discipline (e.g., CIBSE, IET, IMechE).
Extensive experience in building services engineering, ideally within large-scale or complex estates.
Proven track record of developing and implementing engineering standards.
Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks, compliance, and sustainability in the built environment.
Experience in consultancy, FM operations, or infrastructure asset management is preferred.
Experience in critical infrastructure environments, particularly data centres, is highly desirable.
A passion for digital transformation in building services, including software, automation, and AI.
Familiarity with CAFM systems, SFG20, JCT & NEC contracts, and the RIBA Construction Plan of Work.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
Strategic thinker with a passion for innovation and continuous improvement.
An engineering-related degree is desirable but not essential.
