58,000 to 95,000 for senior data centre electrical engineers

The salary band is in the headline because pretending money is a secondary consideration wastes everyone's time. What the number does not tell you is what the work looks like.This is the mission critical team of a global engineering consultancy, designing data centres for colocation providers, enterprise clients and end users across the UK and internationally. The pipeline is not speculative. The schemes are live, the clients are repeat, and the sector is growing faster than the industry can staff it.Depending on what you bring, you join as a senior engineer or an associate. Either way you lead electrical design packages rather than feed them, with direct client contact and a progression route that is written down rather than implied. The scale of the practice means the unusual projects, the international work and the genuinely difficult technical questions land here first.You will also find the unglamorous things work properly here: design tools that are actually maintained, technical leads who answer questions rather than guard them, and a resourcing model that does not quietly assume your evenings. None of that makes a headline, but it decides whether the job is sustainable for the next five years.Plenty of senior engineers in this sector are busy, well paid and quietly stuck. If that is you, the move that fixes it usually involves a bigger platform, not a bigger job title. Salary is between £58,000 and £95,000 depending on level.Apply with a CV, or ask for a conversation first.
