Role Overview

This role is a hands-on Building, Electrical & HVAC Engineering position with day-to-day responsibility for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of our Atlanta facility. This role has a strong electrical bias, reflecting current operational needs, while still covering core HVAC and mechanical plant. It is site-focused and practical, with a strong emphasis on preventative maintenance, rapid fault response, compliance, and contractor management. The engineer will work closely with the Building, Electrical & HVAC Manager and wider engineering and operations teams to ensure the facility supports critical business operations with minimal downtime.

Key Responsibilities

Building & Facilities Engineering

* Own the day-to-day technical condition of the Atlanta facility, including plant rooms, critical spaces, and supporting infrastructure.

• Carry out routine inspections, planned preventative maintenance (PPM), and reactive maintenance across building services.

• Diagnose and resolve building-related faults, escalating where required.

• Maintain accurate records, logs, drawings, and maintenance documentation

Electrical Systems

• Own day-to-day operation and reliability of LV electrical systems, including switchgear, distribution boards, UPS systems, generators, ATS, and associated monitoring and control systems.

• Act as first-line electrical responder for site issues, faults, and alarms.

• Perform hands-on electrical fault finding and isolation in live operational environments.

• Support and oversee testing regimes such as load bank testing, generator runs, UPS maintenance, and IR scanning.

• Ensure safe systems of work are rigorously applied, including permit-to-work, LOTO, arc-flash awareness, and electrical switching procedures.

• Coordinate and supervise specialist electrical contractors when escalation is required.

HVAC & Mechanical Systems

• Operate and maintain HVAC systems including CRAC/CRAH units, chillers, air handling units, pumps, and control systems.

• Monitor environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, airflow) and take corrective action as needed.

• Support seasonal changeovers, plant optimization, and energy efficiency initiatives.

• Work with external HVAC contractors on servicing, repairs, and upgrades

Compliance, Health & Safety

• Ensure compliance with local codes, standards, and company policies across building, electrical, and HVAC systems.

• Support audits, inspections, and statutory testing.

• Actively promote a strong safety culture on site, challenging unsafe practices and escalating risks.

Contractors & Vendors

• Supervise on-site contractors, ensuring work is completed safely, on time, and to specification.

• Review method statements and risk assessments (RAMS).

• Act as site point-of-contact for specialist vendors.

Incident & Change Support

• Respond to site incidents and outages, including out-of-hours support as part of an on-call or escalation Rota if required.

• Assist with minor projects, upgrades, and changes to building services and infrastructure.

• Contribute to root cause analysis and continuous improvement following incidents.

Skills & Experience

Essential

• Proven experience in an electrical or building services engineering role within a critical facility environment (data center, broadcast, industrial, healthcare, or similar).

• Strong, hands-on experience with LV electrical systems, UPS, and generators

• Demonstrated experience acting as on-call or primary electrical responder in live operational environments.

• Ability to safely fault-find, isolate, and restore electrical systems under pressure.

• Experience managing contractors and enforcing safe systems of work.

• Clear, professional communication and strong documentation skills.

Desirable

• Experience in data centers, broadcast facilities, or other 24/7 critical infrastructure environments.

• Familiarity with BMS / EMS systems.

• Understanding of electrical resilience design and redundancy (N+1, 2N). Qualifications

• Electrical apprenticeship, trade qualification, or equivalent hands-on experience.

• Relevant US electrical certifications or licenses preferred (state or local, where applicable).

• OSHA safety training (including LOTO and electrical safety) strongly preferred.

• HVAC or mechanical certifications are advantageous but secondary to electrical expertise.

Working Pattern

• Fully site-based role in Atlanta, GA.

• Participation in a formal on-call rota is required, with responsibility for responding to electrical and facilities incidents outside of normal business hours.

• Flexibility required for planned maintenance windows, testing, and project work, including nights or weekends when necessary.

What We’re Looking For

• A reliable, hands-on engineer who takes ownership of their site.

• Someone comfortable working independently but aligned with a wider engineering function.

• A practical problem-solver with a strong safety mindset and attention to detail.
