The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience working with critical systems, ideally within a data centre, telecommunications, or facilities management environment. Strong technical understanding of power, cooling, and fire suppression systems is essential, along with the ability to manage workloads independently and communicate effectively across departments. A valid driving licence is required, and the candidate must be willing to participate in a standby rota. Technical qualifications in electrical, mechanical, or air conditioning systems would be advantageous, as would experience with BMS systems, UPS units, and standby generators.
