Job Description
Working in our Data Centres Market Sector, you will be an ambassador in the data centre community externally across EMEA and internally within AECOM Europe and globally.
With experience in technical delivery of data centre projects for tech firms and a strong track record in tech firm business development you will lead a team of technical experts across the UK and work closely with our global colleagues in the Data Centre sector.

- Define and validate power architectures (utility intake, MV/LV distribution, UPS topologies, generators, switchgear, PDUs, STS, busway, earthing, and lighting).
- Lead power systems studies and protection design (load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc‑flash, harmonic analysis) using tools such as ETAP/SKM.
- Integrate monitoring and controls (BMS/EPMS/SCADA), metering strategies, and resilience features aligned to availability objectives (e.g., Tier II–IV).
- Embed decarbonization and energy efficiency (high‑efficiency UPS, advanced controls, heat recovery, demand response, on‑site renewables, and grid-interactive strategies).
- Assure compliance with applicable standards and codes (e.g., IEC/BS/EN and/or NEC/NFPA), client specifications, and AECOM quality procedures.
- Coordinate multi‑disciplinary interfaces (mechanical, structural, architectural, fire/life safety, security, ICT) to deliver fully integrated designs.
