Field Service Engineer - Hyperscale Data Centres

Field Service Engineer/Commissioning Agent – Hyperscale Data Centres
Do you service UPS, generators, switchgear or cooling plant, and know the kit inside out? This role lets you test and sign off whole hyperscale data centres instead of one part of them.
We’re hiring for a large European commissioning provider that works on some of the biggest data centre builds in Europe. They act as the owner’s representative, so you’ll be on the client’s side, checking that every critical system is installed, tested and ready to go live.
Commissioning experience is a bonus, but you don’t need it. Many of the team come from field service and OEM backgrounds, and the role is open to earlier-career engineers as well as experienced ones.
What you’ll be doing
Commissioning mission-critical electrical and mechanical systems: UPS, generators, STS, PDUs, switchgear, BMS/BAS and HVAC
QA/QC of equipment installation and construction observations
Writing functional test plans, start-up and commissioning procedures
Running tests on site and making sure they meet standards and procedures
Reviewing designs, analysing test data and writing technical reports
Working with vendors and contractors to solve problems on site
Helping train operations and maintenance teams before handover
What you’ll bring
Hands-on experience in electrical power distribution and/or mechanical systems, gained through a trade, the military or a degree
Field-based fault-finding and diagnostic experience on equipment
Confidence with test equipment such as AC/DC amp probes, DVMs, phase rotation meters, battery conductance and load testers, and micro-ohm meters
Clear written and spoken communication; comfortable dealing with clients
Good working knowledge of MS Word and Excel
Willingness to travel nationally and internationally for projects
Nice to have
Field service, start-up or commissioning experience (e.g. with Vertiv, Schneider, Eaton, ABB, Cummins, Caterpillar, Stulz, Carrier)
Data centre or other mission-critical experience, such as utilities, hospitals, telecoms or pharma
Exposure to L3–L5 / IST commissioning, FAT/SAT or test-script writing
Electrical or mechanical knowledge
AutoCAD
Why this role
Work on large hyperscale projects across Europe
Move from one manufacturer’s equipment to testing every system on site
Build a career in commissioning, one of the fastest-growing areas of the data centre industry
