Electrical Engineering Lead

Vertiv is the largest electrical switchgear manufacturer in the UK & Ireland, pioneering unique in-house integrated power solutions tailored to each individual client project. We believe that our people are our best asset and have invested in a highly qualified and experienced team of Engineers to work in our manufacturing facilities across three continents.

Why join - For our team, modular construction means greater speed, consistency and predictability. Factory-based integration allows us to identify and manage risks earlier, improve quality control, and provide greater certainty around cost and delivery. It also reduces the complexity and labor required on site, making installation and commissioning much more efficient. Vertiv's Infrastructure Solutions provide the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency that traditional infrastructures can't offer.

Another major advantage is scalability. Our modular solutions use repeatable designs that can be deployed quickly and expanded as customer requirements grow.

For a candidate joining the department, this means working in a fast-moving environment that combines engineering, manufacturing, technology, project delivery and innovation. You’ll be part of a team helping to transform how critical digital infrastructure is designed and delivered making data center construction faster, more reliable, and more scalable for the future.
