About the Role
At WSP, you will have the opportunity to work on landmark projects within the fast-paced Data Centre sector as part of our Mission Critical Facilities team. This role involves developing conceptual designs for electrical distribution systems from EHV, HV, MV to Low Voltage, including high voltage equipment, generation equipment, UPS plant, low voltage switchgear, and power control and monitoring systems. You will provide expert advice to clients on electrical systems to meet their business needs, lead the design of data centre electrical systems and equipment, and produce technical specifications and reports. Coordination with other disciplines such as Architects and Structural Engineers is essential, as is monitoring installation to ensure compliance with design specifications and safety codes. The role requires client-facing skills to discuss and agree on technical requirements and the ability to work independently and collaboratively within WSP’s global project teams. You will join a large, multidisciplinary Building Services team of over 160 engineers in London, committed to high ethical standards, professionalism, and career development. This role offers the chance to contribute to exciting and technically challenging projects across the UK and EMEA.

About you
Chartered status with CIBSE or IET (or working towards Chartered status) or equivalent experience. Strong technical knowledge of UK and EU regulations and design guides. IT literate with experience in relevant software packages such as Trimble (formerly Amtech), ETAP for HV modelling, and understanding of Neher-McGrath cable temperature calculations. Familiarity with Tier classifications by The Uptime Institute, TIA942, and EN50600. Ability to lead, mentor, and work effectively within a team.
