We are partnering with Ireland's largest MEP consultancy, an internationally recognised Engineering business with over 300 employees and ambitious plans to grow to more than 1,000 professionals globally over the next 3-4 years.

This is a fully remote opportunity for South African-based Electrical Engineers, offering the chance to work on some of Europe's most prestigious hyperscale data centre developments while remaining based in South Africa. The role also includes occasional international travel for client meetings, project workshops, and site visits across Europe and other global locations.

Backed by strong private equity investment and experiencing rapid expansion, the business has positioned itself as a market leader within the mission-critical sector, with approximately 90% of its workload focused on Data Centre projects for hyperscale clients.

The Opportunity
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will play a key role in the design and delivery of large-scale, technically complex data centre projects from concept through to completion. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, engage directly with international clients, and contribute to the delivery of mission-critical infrastructure that underpins global digital connectivity.

This is a highly visible role within a growing organisation, offering exposure to cutting-edge engineering, international collaboration, and long-term career progression.

Why Join?

* Occasional international travel for client meetings, workshops, and site visits across
Europe and beyond
* Work on hyperscale, mission-critical Data Centre projects
* Join Ireland's largest and fastest-growing MEP consultancy
* Strong private equity backing and aggressive global growth plans
* Clear progression opportunities as the organisation scales toward 1,000+ employees

* Long-term pipeline of secured international projects
* Exposure to globally recognised clients and complex engineering challenges

Requirements
* Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering or Building Services Engineering
* Strong experience within Building Services consultancy environments
* Proven electrical design experience including power distribution, lighting, standby
power systems, UPS, generators, and earthing systems
* Experience delivering large-scale or complex projects
* Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Highly Desirable
* Data Centre or Mission Critical project experience
* Chartered Engineer status or working towards chartership
* South African PrEng or PrTech registration (strongly advantageous due to alignment
with Irish chartership pathways)
* Candidates from a mining, heavy industry, or large-scale infrastructure background
will also be strongly considered due to their exposure to high-power, resilience-
focused electrical systems and complex operational environments

About You
You may currently be working within Building Services, Mining, Industrial, Commercial, Infrastructure, Healthcare, or Mission Critical sectors. If you are looking for exposure to world-class data centre projects while maintaining flexibility through remote working in South Africa, this is an exceptional opportunity to join a rapidly expanding global consultancy.
