Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent


About the Company

Our client is reinventing how the world uses data centres – delivering flexible, optimised colocation services with outstanding customer support, all powered by sustainable energy. Backed by private equity following a recent acquisition, the business is investing heavily in new capacity across Europe and creating exciting opportunities for talented engineers to join its growing team.


The Role

We are seeking an ambitious Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Design & Product Development team in London. Reporting to the Head of Design & Product Development, you will be responsible for developing next-generation mechanical infrastructure designs for data centres, including multi-MW heat rejection systems, heat export, hall-scale air cooling, and direct-to-chip cooling technologies.


This global role offers the chance to work with cooling technology vendors, systems integrators, and the wider supply chain, while collaborating with local development and operations teams across facilities in the UK, Finland, and Iceland. It’s an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in major infrastructure projects who enjoys seeing their designs progress through to construction and operation.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead mechanical infrastructure design from strategic brief to operational handover.
  • Build and manage relationships with external vendors and consultants, ensuring feasibility, compliance, and innovation during early project stages.
  • Research and evaluate new cooling and energy technologies, preparing technical whitepapers to inform the product roadmap.
  • Take ownership of product development initiatives from concept through to launch.
  • Partner with global operations and development teams to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes.


Key Requirements

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 5 years’ experience in the design or delivery of major infrastructure projects.
  • Hands-on experience with Revit.
  • Chartered or working towards professional accreditation.
  • Proven ability to lead initiatives or projects through to completion.
  • Interest in the built environment, sustainable infrastructure, and technology.
  • Willingness to travel internationally (UK, Finland, Iceland).


What’s on Offer

  • Salary of £65,000 – £75,000, plus benefits.
  • Opportunity to join a fast-growing, private equity-backed business at a pivotal stage of expansion.
  • A collaborative, innovative, and inclusive culture.
  • Exposure to cutting-edge mechanical and cooling technologies in critical infrastructure.
  • Career development within a talented, ambitious international team.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Edge Computing Jobs Hub

Edge computing is one of the most important technological shifts of the decade. As connected devices, sensors, and the Internet of Things (IoT) generate massive volumes of data, centralised cloud computing alone cannot always keep up. Businesses and governments need faster processing, lower latency, and secure, real-time insights. Edge computing—where data is processed closer to where it is generated—is the answer. From autonomous vehicles and smart cities to advanced healthcare and industrial automation, edge computing underpins the next wave of digital transformation. For professionals, this means an entirely new field of opportunity. Edge computing requires engineers, architects, analysts, cyber security specialists, and operations staff with highly specialised skills. The United Kingdom is particularly well-positioned to become a global edge computing jobs hub. With its strong infrastructure, thriving tech ecosystem, leading universities, and government commitment to digital innovation, the UK has many of the ingredients necessary to lead. This article explores why the UK could claim global leadership in edge computing careers, the sectors driving demand, and what must happen to make this vision a reality.
