Role Overview The Technical Manager (Electrical) will play a key role within the Technical Delivery Team, supporting commissioning activities across all project phases in fast-paced, mission-critical data centre environments. This role is primarily focused on electrical systems (e.g. HV/LV distribution, UPS systems, standby generation, protection systems, EPMS infrastructure, and associated critical electrical systems) and the development of Level 0 (L0) deliverables, ensuring consistency, quality, and technical excellence across the business. Working both remotely and in support of site teams, the role will contribute to commissioning strategy, support design assurance, drive standardisation of commissioning delivery, and provide expert technical guidance during complex testing, switching, and troubleshooting scenarios.
