Mechanical Engineers – Data Centres | Multiple Projects | Australia
The data centre market isn’t slowing down, and neither are my clients. I’m partnering with several leading players in the mission-critical space, from tier-one contractors and specialist MEP subcontractors to engineering consultancies and hyperscale operators, all looking to strengthen their mechanical teams across a pipeline of new builds and expansions.
Rather than chasing one role, you’ll speak to me once and I’ll match you to the project and company that best fits your experience, career goals and lifestyle.
The opportunities
Depending on your background, roles span design, delivery and commissioning, including:
Design Engineers working on cooling strategies for high-density and AI-ready halls, including chilled water, air-cooled and direct liquid cooling systems
Site / Project Mechanical Engineers overseeing installation of chillers, CRAH units, pipework and plant on large-scale greenfield builds
Commissioning Engineers taking systems through Level 1 to 5 commissioning and integrated systems testing
Senior / Lead Mechanical Engineers coordinating packages, managing subcontractors and mentoring junior team members
What my clients are looking for
A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
Experience in data centres or other mission-critical environments (hospitals, labs, pharma or large commercial builds will also be considered)
Solid understanding of HVAC, chilled water systems and cooling redundancy (N+1, 2N)
Familiarity with BMS/controls integration and relevant Australian Standards
Strong communication skills and the ability to work across design, construction and client teams
Revit or BIM experience is a bonus for design roles
What’s on offer
Highly competitive salaries, with packages reflecting the strong demand for mission-critical talent
Exposure to cutting-edge cooling technology, including liquid cooling for AI workloads
Clear career progression with businesses investing heavily in this sector
Flexible arrangements available with some clients
Why talk to me?
I specialise in mission-critical recruitment and have direct relationships with hiring managers across the market. Many of these roles aren’t advertised, so one confidential conversation could open up several options.
Even if you’re not actively looking, I’d welcome a chat about where the market is heading and what your experience is worth right now.
