* Maintain accurate logbooks, compliance documentation, and maintenance records.
* Support incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement of site processes.
* Liaise with specialist contractors and ensure safe working practices at all times.
* Participate in shift rota or on‑call cover as required.
What We’re Looking For
* Recognised High Voltage qualification (AP / SAP status or formal HV switching training).
* NVQ Level 3 in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
* 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
* Strong experience within a critical environment, ideally data centres or similar high‑availability sites.
* Solid understanding of UPS, standby generators, LV / HV distribution, and cooling systems.
* Excellent fault‑finding skills and ability to work under pressure.
* Strong communication skills and a commitment to safety.
What We Offer
* State‑of‑the‑art data centre environment
