Product Focus: E-Houses, E-Pods & E-Skids | OSM | Data Centres & Critical Infrastructure
Location: Strabane/Armagh, with project-related site travel as required
Employment Type: Full-Time
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and driven Electrical Engineer to support the design, development, and delivery of our prefabricated electrical and modular infrastructure solutions, including E-Houses, E-Pods and E-Skids, manufactured for data centres and other critical infrastructure projects.
This is a key role within our growing Global Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM) business, supporting the delivery of fully coordinated electrical systems from initial design through manufacturing, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site integration and final handover.
Working closely with engineering, mechanical design, manufacturing, quality and project management teams, the successful candidate will develop practical electrical designs that meet client requirements and support efficient manufacture, installation, testing and maintenance.
We are looking for a technically capable, hands-on engineer with strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills and the ability to deliver complex electrical packages to demanding project programmes.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Design & Engineering
- Develop and coordinate electrical designs for E-Houses, E-Pods, E-Skids and associated modular infrastructure packages.
- Produce and review single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, equipment layouts, cable schedules, containment layouts, earthing and bonding arrangements, and associated technical documentation.
- Specify and coordinate LV switchgear, distribution boards, transformers, UPS systems, busbar systems, protection devices and associated equipment, as applicable.
- Design auxiliary electrical services, including lighting, emergency lighting, small power and supplies to mechanical equipment.
- Undertake or review engineering calculations, including load assessments, cable sizing, voltage drop, short-circuit levels, protection coordination, relay settings and arc flash assessments.
- Ensure designs meet applicable standards, client specifications and project requirements.
Modular Design & OSM Coordination
- Develop electrical designs suitable for offsite manufacture, taking account of assembly sequences, module interfaces, transport constraints and site connections.
- Coordinate electrical systems with mechanical services, structural elements and architectural layouts.
- Ensure equipment layouts provide suitable installation clearances, maintenance access and cable routing.
- Support coordinated drawing and model reviews, identifying clashes and resolving interfaces before manufacture.
- Contribute to standard electrical designs and repeatable solutions that improve manufacturing efficiency, quality and consistency.
Manufacturing & Technical Support
- Provide technical support to estimators, procurement, project managers and manufacturing teams throughout project delivery.
- Prepare equipment specifications, schedules and bills of materials to support procurement and production.
- Review supplier drawings and technical submissions, confirming compliance and compatibility with the overall design.
- Resolve technical queries arising during fabrication, electrical installation and equipment integration.
- Manage design revisions and ensure approved information is clearly communicated to the manufacturing team.
Testing, Commissioning & Quality
- Support the development and review of inspection and test plans, FAT procedures and electrical test documentation.
- Assist with factory inspections, FAT and verification of completed electrical installations against approved designs.
- Support testing of controls, monitoring, alarms, interlocks and interfaces with Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS).
- Investigate electrical defects and non-conformances, supporting corrective actions and close-out.
- Provide technical support for site installation, Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), Integrated Systems Testing (IST) and commissioning, as required.
- Prepare and review as-built drawings, equipment schedules, test records and handover documentation.
Project Collaboration & Development
- Liaise with clients, consultants, suppliers and specialist subcontractors to resolve technical requirements and design interfaces.
- Manage assigned engineering deliverables against project programmes, identifying risks and communicating progress.
- Mentor junior electrical engineers and technicians, supporting consistent design and documentation standards.
- Promote safe design, continuous improvement and right-first-time delivery across engineering and manufacturing.
Essential Requirements
- Degree, HND or HNC in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Proven experience in electrical engineering, including the design, installation, testing or commissioning of electrical distribution systems.
- Strong understanding of LV switchgear, power distribution, protection systems, earthing and bonding.
- Experience undertaking or reviewing electrical calculations, protection coordination studies, relay settings and arc flash assessments.
- Ability to interpret and develop electrical drawings, schematics, specifications and technical documentation.
- Understanding of electrical interfaces with mechanical equipment, controls and monitoring systems.
- Knowledge of applicable electrical standards and the ability to apply client and project-specific requirements.
- Strong communication, organisational and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively across design, procurement, manufacturing and project delivery teams.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, with strong attention to detail and a commitment to high engineering standards.
- Willingness to travel to project locations when required.
Desirable Experience
- Previous experience designing E-Houses, E-Pods, E-Skids, modular plantrooms or other offsite-manufactured M&E systems.
- Experience working on data centres or other mission-critical infrastructure projects.
- Familiarity with Revit for electrical modelling, BIM coordination and integration with mechanical and structural designs.
- Experience using AutoCAD, EPLAN or SEE Electrical.
- Experience using electrical calculation and power system analysis software.
- Knowledge of UPS systems, generators, transformers, busbar systems and associated controls.
- Familiarity with BMS, EPMS and integrated monitoring systems.
- Experience supporting FAT, SAT, IST and commissioning within a manufacturing or modular construction environment.
What We Offer
- The opportunity to play a key role in a growing Global OSM manufacturing business.
- Exposure to major data centre and critical infrastructure projects.
- Involvement across the full project lifecycle, from design and manufacturing through testing and site integration.
- The opportunity to develop standard designs and improve engineering processes as the business expands.
- A collaborative working environment with close involvement across engineering, manufacturing and project delivery.
- Competitive salary and benefits package, with opportunities for professional development and career progression.
