Project Engineer (Mechanical) - Systems Integrator

Looking for a role with plenty of growth opportunities?

Join a specialist data centre thermal monitoring and optimisation business whose machine learning platform, built by PhD-level thermodynamic experts, helps data centres reduce thermal risk, release cooling capacity, and cut cooling costs. Combining advanced sensing, data analytics, and expert services, it keeps facilities finely tuned and operating at peak performance.

This is a great opportunity for a Project Engineer to join the technical team on a permanent, remote basis. The ideal candidate will use the company’s thermal monitoring platform to analyse real-time data, identify inefficiencies in data centre cooling systems, develop engineering recommendations, and implement and validate measurable improvements. Junior to mid-level candidates are welcome, with training available.

Responsibilities:

• Identifying opportunities to improve overall cooling system thermal and energy performance within mission-critical facilities
• Investigating and resolving issues including excessive cooling, under-cooling, recirculation, bypass airflow, and poor air distribution
• Carrying out airflow balancing and tuning to improve supply airflow delivery to IT equipment
• Optimising control setpoints, fan speeds, operating strategies, and unit sequencing for air-side cooling systems
• Assessing the interaction between cooling equipment operation and IT load distribution
• Developing practical recommendations that maintain required environmental conditions while reducing unnecessary cooling energy consumption
• Managing individual projects from initial assessment through to implementation and validation
• Producing clear technical reports, energy and thermal performance summaries, and feasibility studies for clients
• Carrying out risk assessments for all relevant project scope

Skills/Must Have:

• Degree or HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, HVAC Engineering, or a closely related discipline
• Experience working with HVAC, air-conditioning, cooling, or building services systems in mission-critical facilities
• Understanding of airflow balancing, cooling setpoint optimisation, and thermal performance analysis
• Strong written and verbal communication skills - produces clear, client-ready technical reports and project summaries
• Unrestricted right to work and travel in the UK and EU without employer sponsorship
• Full UK driving licence

Desirable Skills:

• CRAH/CRAC systems and data centre cooling infrastructure experience
• Hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment and data centre airflow management knowledge
• BMS systems and HVAC controls experience
• Experience using thermal monitoring, environmental sensing, or data analytics platforms
• Familiarity with PUE and data centre energy and performance metrics
• Experience with energy efficiency or cooling optimisation programmes

Benefits:

• £30,000 - £40,000 base salary
• Fully remote working with UK site travel and agreed international travel to Europe and US
• Working within a growing, investor-backed business at the forefront of data centre thermal optimisation
• Real project ownership from initial assessment through to implementation and validation
• Genuine development opportunity - the business is actively investing in less experienced engineers
• Permanent role within a specialist, mission-critical technology business

Salary:

• £30,000 - £40,000
