* 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.
