Role Overview

Due to continued growth in our data centre utility and process-water treatment portfolio, we are seeking a Project Engineer with strong technical expertise in water treatment processes.

This varied role balances design coordination, site engineering, procurement, and handover support.

Commissioning & Handover: Support commissioning teams through FAT/SAT, functional testing, start-up, optimisation, and eventual client handover. Support training and handover processes for client operations teams.

Procurement & Scheduling: Coordinate procurement for pumps, skids, valves, instruments, and control systems while building project schedules that cover design through to handover.

Safety & Documentation: Prepare key project documentation-including RAMS, O&M manuals, commissioning schedules, and progress reports-in line with internal and client safety standards.

Stakeholder Management: Manage daily interactions with site labour, subcontractors, clients, and vendors. Lead site walkdowns, progress meetings, and technical reviews.

Key Requirements & Qualifications

Technical Aptitude: Demonstrable experience in process-water treatment engineering, with strong knowledge of modern purification technologies and MEICA aspects.

Drawing Interpretation: Proven proficiency in interpreting P&IDs, general arrangement drawings, design specifications, and functional control narratives.

Data Centre / Industrial Experience: Experience working in live or construction-stage data centre environments or mission-critical utilities is highly advantageous.

Commissioning & Site Skills: Practical site engineering experience, including involvement in FAT/SAT, system optimisation, and managing site labour and subcontractors.

Communication & Collaboration: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for stakeholder management, client walkdowns, and technical reporting.
