If you're looking to step into a client-side role where you'll be surrounded by experienced technical professionals and have genuine opportunities to grow, this could be worth exploring.
This business develops, owns and operates large-scale data centres that support some of the world's leading technology and cloud providers.
Their facilities are designed around reliability, resilience and uptime, creating an environment where electrical systems are genuinely mission critical and every decision matters.
You'll be exposed to some of the most sophisticated electrical infrastructure in the market, including UPS systems, generators, fuel systems and redundant power networks designed to support 24/7 operations.
You'll split your time between the company's Melbourne head office in the inner south-east and operational data centre sites in Melbourne's western suburbs.
The role sits within the Field Engineering team and supports the reliability, performance and ongoing development of critical electrical systems across live facilities.
One of the reasons people join this business is the opportunity to build a long-term career.
The Australian operation continues to expand and the business has a strong reputation for developing people, promoting from within and creating opportunities as current facilities come online.
You'll be working within one of the fastest-growing sectors in infrastructure, giving you exposure to projects, technology and career pathways that are difficult to find elsewhere.
The role combines technical oversight with practical field exposure.
You'll be involved in fault investigations, commissioning activities, procedure reviews, electrical risk management and supporting teams during complex electrical events.
While you'll spend time around the infrastructure, this is not a hands-on switching role.
You'll provide input into critical infrastructure systems including UPS infrastructure, generators, fuel systems,



transformers, switchboards and HV/LV distribution networks.
The position suits someone who enjoys understanding how systems operate in the real world and can confidently work with contractors and stakeholders to achieve the right outcomes.
We're open to candidates from a range of backgrounds.
You might be an Electrician, UPS Engineer, Commissioning Engineer, Critical Facilities Engineer or Electrical Engineer looking to move into a client-side role.
If you've spent your career working around generators, fuel systems, switchboards, UPS systems, HV/LV infrastructure or other critical electrical assets and want to broaden your career, we'd like to hear from you.
Data centre experience is welcome but not essential.
Experience gained within utilities, hospitals, industrial facilities, defence, mining or other high-availability environments will also be considered.
What matters most is your understanding of critical electrical infrastructure, your ability to investigate problems and your confidence working with contractors, operators and stakeholders to ensure systems are performing safely and reliably.
We're looking for someone with experience around critical infrastructure systems such as UPS systems, generators, fuel systems, switchboards, commissioning activities, fault finding or electrical operations.
Whether your background is practical, engineering-based or a combination of both, the business is open to considering different pathways into the role.
Due to project and client requirements, applicants must hold Australian Permanent Residency or Australian Citizenship.
Salary is up to $140,000 plus super depending on experience.
