Join a market-leading engineering consultancy delivering the UK's most technically complex data centre projects in one of construction's fastest-growing sectors.
Associate & Associate Director – Electrical
Location: Manchester
Salary: £80,000 - £95,000 + up to 15% Bonus
The Opportunity
The UK data centre sector continues to be one of the fastest-growing areas within construction and engineering. As investment accelerates nationwide, we are supporting a leading engineering consultancy in Manchester with the appointment of:
- Associate – Electrical
- Associate Director – Electrical
Both roles sit within a high-performing data centre division delivering some of the most technically complex and high-value projects currently being developed in the UK.
This is an opportunity to join a market-leading consultancy at a pivotal stage of growth within a resilient, future-focused sector.
The Roles
Associate – Electrical
You will play a key role in the technical delivery of complex electrical designs, supporting project leadership while mentoring engineers and contributing to client relationships.
Associate Director – Electrical
You will provide senior leadership across major programmes, overseeing technical quality, guiding teams, influencing client strategy, and supporting divisional growth.
Both positions offer genuine responsibility, autonomy, and visibility within the business.
Experience
Direct data centre experience is advantageous but not essential.
We welcome applications from electrical engineers with experience delivering highly complex projects across:
- Critical infrastructure

- Industrial facilities
- Mission-critical or technically demanding environments
A strong interest in the data centre sector is essential.
Why Join
- Exposure to high-value, technically challenging UK developments
