Sudlows is seeking an experienced M&E engineering professional to act as the technical design lead on complex data centre and critical infrastructure projects.
The M&E Design Lead will take ownership of the overall technical solution, providing multidisciplinary engineering leadership from feasibility and tender through detailed design, construction, commissioning and handover. The successful candidate will personally develop and review designs within their core discipline, while coordinating and assuring the integration of critical power and cooling systems, CSA elements, controls, fire protection and other specialist systems.
Working closely with clients, project teams, consultants, suppliers and subcontractors, they will ensure that designs are technically robust, resilient, compliant, buildable and aligned with project, programme and commercial requirements. The role will include defining design strategies, resolving complex engineering issues, managing technical risk, supporting procurement and construction, and maintaining design intent throughout delivery.
Applicants should have substantial M&E design experience, strong technical expertise in either mechanical or electrical engineering, and the breadth and confidence to lead multidisciplinary building services solutions. Data centre experience is highly desirable, although candidates with relevant experience in other critical, high-availability or regulated environments will also be considered.
The role is based at our Oldham office in Greater Manchester and includes travel to project and client sites across the UK, with occasional travel within Europe.
