    • Implement industry-leading standards and quality control protocols.
    • Contribute to SOPs, MOPs, and emergency procedures for system operations.
    • Deliver technical training to end-users and operations teams.
    • Support construction and commissioning activities, including potential night/weekend work.

    What You Bring

    • Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent experience.
    • 3+ years of hands-on commissioning or data centre engineering experience.
    • Solid knowledge of electrical systems, HVAC, life safety, access control, and telecoms.
    • Strong technical problem-solving skills and keen attention to detail.
    • Willingness to travel between data centre locations as needed.
    • Familiar with MS Office Suite and commissioning management tools.

    Bonus Points For

    • Experience with IP-based CCTV, biometric controls, VLANs, and network switching.
    • Knowledge of fire detection and gaseous suppression systems.
