This consultancy is recognised for delivering high-performance cooling and mechanical infrastructure for some of Europe’s largest data centre developments.

• Manage coordination with electrical, structural, and architectural disciplines
• Review and approve mechanical calculations, specifications, and technical drawings
• Provide technical leadership across concept, detailed design, and IFC stages
• Support construction teams and commissioning activities
• Ensure compliance with German regulations and international standards

Requirements

• Degree-qualified Mechanical Engineer / Building Services Engineer
• Proven data centre mechanical design experience (essential)
• Strong understanding of HVAC, chilled water systems, cooling redundancy, and thermal management
• Experience working within engineering consultancies or technical advisory roles
• Locally based in Germany (local hire only)

Why Join

• Join a consultancy with a true engineering-led culture
• Long-term local role — no rotation or excessive travel
• Work on some of Europe’s most technically advanced data centres
• Strong career progression into principal and design leadership roles
