Mechanical Engineer

Data Centre | Static / Shift-Based | Permanent

£60,000 + package

This is a static, site-based role for someone who wants to get in on the ground floor of a brand-new liquid cooling system on a newly installed contract.

You'll be working for a UK-based data centre specialist that handles design, build and maintenance under one roof. They operate across the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the US, serving clients who need complex data centre infrastructure delivered without error, and their pitch is simple: one company, one team, full accountability end to end.

This isn't a role where you're inheriting someone else's problems. Because the system and the contract are both new, there are no legacy issues to fix. You'll be part of a static site team providing round-the-clock cover, working to strict health & safety and permit-to-work procedures within a live, critical environment.

What you'll do

Maintain and support a brand-new liquid cooling system, with training provided.
Carry out planned and reactive maintenance on mechanical plant and cooling infrastructure across the data centre.
Monitor system performance, respond to alarms and faults, and carry out first-line diagnostics and repairs.
Complete routine inspections, PPMs and statutory checks in line with site procedures and manufacturer guidance.
Maintain accurate maintenance records, logs and compliance documentation.
Work to strict health & safety, permit-to-work and site access procedures within a live, critical environment.
Escalate and coordinate with specialist subcontractors or OEM support where required.

What you'll need

Data centre experience is essential.
Strong mechanical engineering background, ideally HVAC, cooling systems or critical plant maintenance.
Comfortable working on new technology.
Able to work 12-hour shifts on a 4 on / 4 off pattern.
Methodical, safety-conscious, and confident working independently as well as part of a shift team.
Recognised mechanical qualification (e.g. NVQ, City & Guilds, HNC/HND) or equivalent trade background
