Data Centre M&E Supervisor
London Docklands
£60-65k Salary
Overtime
Pension
Training & Development
Our client are one of the largest property organisations operating in the UK and globally, and have involvement in a vast range of customers across the world of commercial real estate, financial services, healthcare, education, etc. Within their critical environments division, they currently seek an M&E Supervisor / Technical Manager to be based at a long-held data centre campus in the Docklands area of East London. Working as part of a multi-skilled engineering team delivering planned and reactive maintenance to electrical, mechanical and critical / building services systems, this role will involve man management of engineers as well as coordinating of specialist subcontractors, and reporting into Account & Senior Technical Management. Guideline salary for this position is circa £60-65k basic salary, as well as larger compensation / package to include overtime, pension scheme and a healthy budget for training.
Candidates must be fully qualified in electrical engineering, ideally through a full apprenticeship, and with at least three years experience in a supervisory / management position within building services and engineering maintenance. Preferably this will have been served within a data centre or similar critical engineering environment. Along with core electrical certifications, the role will involve extensive High Voltage switching and therefore experience a an AP 15 (Authorised Person) is a minimum requirement. Engineering systems and knowledge should include:
Single & Three Phase Power, Air Handling Plant, Pumps, Motors, VRV/VRFs, Diesel Generators, UPS Systems (Static & Rotary), HV & LV Distribution (11kV, switching, schedules / permits), VESDA, Fire Alarms, BMS Operation, CRAC Units, etc.
Other duties/experience should include:
Experience of safe systems of work including but not limited to, Limitations of Access, Fire Systems Isolation requests, permit to work and associated high-risk permits such as Low-Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV), Electrical & Mechanical Isolations, working at height, hot works, mechanical, high pressure, excavations & confined spaces.
Working within a data centre environment with a good understanding SOP / MOP / EOP process
Have good IT and report writing skills.
Demonstrate a willingness to attend on and off site training for plant and systems (e.g. factory acceptance tests).
This is a rare opportunity for an existing Shift Manager / Leader or Supervisor to join a well established data centre site, and with a view to progression into Technical Manager and Authorising Engineer status further down the line. While a strong technical grounding is vital, equally as important is to have good communication skills to liaise with both direct reports, sub-contractors, superiors in leadership team and ultimately the on-site client.
