The work is expected to involve critical electrical infrastructure, white space upgrades, containment, LV power, structured cabling, security systems, controls interfaces, commissioning support and live environment coordination.

The role You ll be responsible for supervising electrical works on site, making sure labour, subcontractors and specialist installers are working safely, efficiently and to the right standard. That means managing day-to-day site activity, checking progress against programme, coordinating materials, raising issues early and supporting the Project Manager with QA, reporting, snagging and handover. You ll be expected to walk the job, understand what is happening on site and keep control of the installation. What you ll be doing Supervising electrical installation works across live data centre environments. Managing electricians, subcontractors and specialist suppliers on site. Coordinating containment, LV distribution, small power, lighting, structured cabling, security systems and controls interfaces. Making sure works are installed to drawings, specifications, RAMS and project standards. Checking progress, reporting issues and supporting short-term lookahead planning.

Experience with containment, LV power, structured cabling, security systems, BMS interfaces, testing, commissioning support or live environment works would be useful. You ll ideally hold SSSTS or SMSTS, ECS or CSCS, and have a strong electrical background. The right person You re organised, hands-on and technically sharp. You can manage the site team, keep people moving and spot problems before they become delays. You do not need to be micromanaged. You know how to control a workface, keep standards high and communicate clearly with the Project Manager. You ll suit this role if you want responsibility, variety and exposure to data centre projects where the detail matters. This is a good opportunity for an Electrical Supervisor who wants to work on technically demanding data centre projects with a salary of £60,000 - £70,000 depending on experience.
