Gatwick Area | £47,000-£48,000 + Shift Allowance + Bonus

I'm recruiting for a Shift Engineer to join a major data centre owner/operator at a modern campus in the Gatwick area.

This is a client-side Data Centre Engineering role providing cover across the site's 24/7 shift teams, including both days and nights.

Package

• £47,000-£48,000 basic

• 10% shift allowance - £4,700-£4,800

• 10% bonus - £4,700-£4,800

• £56,400-£57,600 potential annual cash earnings

• Overtime at 1.5x when working an agreed day off

• Strong training and development

• Excellent wider benefits

The Role

As a Shift Engineer, you'll provide engineering cover across two data centre buildings in the Gatwick area, maintaining the same operational standards as the permanent shift teams.

Duties will include:

• PPM and reactive maintenance

• Electrical and mechanical fault-finding

• HV/LV switchgear

• UPS and standby generation

• Critical cooling systems

• Fire detection and suppression systems

• Switching and isolations

• Contractor supervision

• Incident response

• BMS monitoring

• Safe systems of work

• Supporting weekday operations, training and switching exposure when not covering shifts

The ideal Shift Engineer will have an electrical background and experience within data centres, critical environments, Building Services or other technically demanding facilities.

LVAP/HVAP experience would be advantageous, although candidates capable of developing towards AP status will also be considered.

This is a strong Data Centre Engineering opportunity in the Gatwick area for someone comfortable working both days and nights who wants strong earning potential and varied technical exposure.
