Job Description:

Electrical Project Manager | Live Data Centre Upgrades

Goswell Road, Angel, Central London | Site based
£75,000–£100,000 + car allowance, bonus and private medical insurance | Or £500 per day on contract

Lead the electrical delivery of a phased upgrade at a live data centre in Angel. You’ll work directly with site operations to plan how new equipment is installed, tested and brought online while the facility continues serving customers.

Why this project?

The challenge is keeping an operational data centre running while you change the infrastructure it relies on. You’ll have a say in how the work is sequenced, when changeovers can happen and what needs to be proven before each system is handed back.

The expected scope includes electrical works associated with cooling and plant upgrades. It’s a chance to take ownership of a technically demanding package, working closely with mechanical and controls specialists and seeing the upgrade through to commissioning.

What you’ll be doing

• Own the electrical programme and agree phasing, access and outage windows with site operations.

• Manage electrical subcontractors and coordinate plant supplies, cabling and controls interfaces with mechanical and BMS teams.

• Plan permits, isolations and temporary supplies with authorised site personnel.

• Set out how each changeover will be tested and how the team will restore the existing setup if needed.

• Lead electrical testing, commissioning and handback, with accurate records for the team that will operate the upgraded systems.

What you’ll bring

You’ve managed electrical upgrades or plant replacements in a live data centre or another continuously operating critical facility. You can talk through a shutdown or changeover you’ve led, how you protected operations and how you brought the system back into service. Experience with LV distribution, cooling plant supplies or integrated systems testing would be useful.

Interested? Send your CV or get in touch for a confidential conversation. Include an example of a live-site upgrade you’ve delivered and let us know whether you’re interested in the salaried role or the £500-a-day contract.
