Solutions Engineer - Electrical

Data Centre Solutions Engineer - Electrical

Role Summary

The Data Centre Solutions Engineer is a key member of STACK's Solutions Engineering team, acting as the technical bridge between our hyperscale clients and the teams responsible for developing, designing and delivering their data centre capacity.

You will translate complex client requirements into clear, practical engineering direction, helping shape resilient, scalable and energy-efficient critical power solutions. Working closely with Development, Design Engineering, Delivery and Operations, you will protect the agreed design intent while ensuring solutions remain aligned with STACK standards, capabilities and long-term operational requirements.

From early-stage design and Basis of Design development through construction, commissioning and operational readiness, you will influence major projects across EMEA and help deliver mission-critical infrastructure for some of the world's largest digital platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted Solutions Engineering partner to hyperscale and strategic clients, developing a clear understanding of their technical, operational and business requirements.
• Translate client requirements into clear engineering briefs, design criteria and actionable inputs for STACK's Development, Design Engineering, Delivery and Operations teams.
• Lead client and internal technical workshops, design intent sessions and engineering reviews, communicating complex topics clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Shape practical, scalable and resilient solutions that balance client requirements with STACK standards, programme requirements and long-term operational performance.
• Provide electrical engineering expertise across critical power infrastructure, including MV/LV distribution, UPS systems, standby generators, switchgear, transformers, STS/ATS, busbar systems, earthing and power monitoring.
• Review load analysis, protection coordination, arc flash studies, resilience strategies and electrical capacity assumptions to support safe, reliable and scalable solutions.
• Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), energisation planning, commissioning and Integrated Systems Testing (IST).
• Provide technical assurance throughout the project lifecycle, from early-stage design and Basis of Design development through construction, commissioning and operational readiness.
• Act as the technical authority for Electrical Engineering while maintaining sufficient knowledge of Mechanical, CSA, Controls (BMS/EPMS), Fire Protection, Security and ICT systems to effectively coordinate multidisciplinary engineering solutions.
• Understand and review engineering interfaces between building systems to identify technical risks, coordination issues and opportunities for optimisation.
• Challenge engineering proposals considering their impact on overall facility performance, constructability, operability and maintainability.
• Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure fully integrated technical solutions throughout the project lifecycle.
• Review design documentation, specifications, calculations, technical submissions and proposed deviations to confirm alignment with client requirements and agreed design intent.
• Identify technical risks, requirements gaps and interface issues early, providing clear recommendations and supporting engineering change control and impact assessments.
• Support project teams during design and delivery by resolving technical queries and maintaining client requirements and technical compliance through execution.
• Coordinate effectively with consultants, contractors, vendors and internal disciplines to support integrated, buildable and operationally effective solutions.
• Support testing, commissioning and handover activities, helping confirm that delivered systems meet client requirements and agreed performance criteria.
• Prepare clear technical assessments, gap analyses, design review summaries and recommendations for clients, project teams and senior stakeholders.
• Contribute client feedback and lessons learned to the continuous improvement of STACK reference designs, engineering standards and client-focused solutions.
• Represent STACK professionally at client meetings, project sites and technical reviews across EMEA, with travel of up to 25% as required.

What You'll Bring

• Strong electrical engineering experience within hyperscale data centres, mission-critical facilities or another technically complex infrastructure environment.
• In-depth knowledge of critical power systems, including MV/LV distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear, transformers, protection systems, earthing and electrical monitoring.
• Experience supporting data centre design and delivery through design development, construction, commissioning and operational handover, ideally across RIBA Stages 2-5 or an equivalent project lifecycle.
• Experience reviewing Basis of Design documentation, technical specifications, calculations, design submissions and engineering changes.
• Good understanding of resilience and availability strategies, including N+1, 2N, fault tolerance, concurrent maintainability, capacity planning and scalability.
• Experience of FAT, SAT, commissioning, IST and technical acceptance activities is highly desirable.
• Strong client-facing and stakeholder-management skills, with the confidence to lead workshops, challenge constructively and explain complex engineering decisions clearly.
• Sound technical judgement, analytical capability and a structured approach to risk identification and problem-solving.
• Ability to collaborate across Development, Design Engineering, Delivery and Operations while maintaining clear ownership of client technical requirements.
• Degree, HND/HNC or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent demonstrable experience.
• Ability to evaluate engineering decisions considering their impact on adjacent disciplines, operational resilience, maintainability and long-term asset performance.
• Understanding of integrated data centre systems and the interaction between electrical, mechanical and control systems throughout design, commissioning and operations.
• Professional accreditation or chartership is desirable.
• Strong written and verbal English language skills; experience working across European markets is advantageous.
