Electrician / Electrical Maintenance Engineer

Equinix is the world’s digital infrastructure company®, shortening the path to connectivity to enable the innovations that enrich our work, life and planet.

A place where bold ideas are welcomed, human connection is valued, and everyone has the opportunity to shape their future.

If you're a qualified electrician looking for something more than routine maintenance work, we'd like to hear from you.

We're growing the engineering team at LD14 , one of Equinix's newest London/Slough data centres, and we're hiring across multiple experience levels.

If you've completed your NVQ Level 3 and AM2 and have experience working on electrical systems, we'll provide the training and support to help you succeed.

Whether you've worked in commercial building services, facilities maintenance, utilities, rail, the Armed Forces, or another technical environment, your skills could be a great fit.

You'll be part of the team responsible for keeping the site running safely and reliably 24 hours a day.

That includes:

Electrical distribution systems

UPS systems

Standby generators

Switchgear

Building Management Systems (BMS)

Cooling and HVAC equipment

Fire and life safety systems

Your day could involve planned maintenance, fault finding, responding to alarms, supporting contractors, carrying out inspections, reviewing system performance, or helping deliver infrastructure projects. Responsibilities include operating, maintaining and repairing critical facility systems, responding to incidents, supporting vendors and maintaining site documentation.

From day one, you'll work alongside experienced engineers and receive training on critical infrastructure including UPS systems, generators, switchgear, cooling systems and Building Management Systems. Over time, you'll build specialist skills that are highly valued across the industry.

We're hiring across multiple engineering levels, creating opportunities for both developing electricians and experienced engineers. Whether your goal is to become a technical specialist, move into project work, lead a team, or progress into engineering management, Equinix offers clear development pathways and long-term career opportunities.

Most engineers join a site that's already established. LD14 is different!

You'll be joining one of our newest London facilities, giving you the opportunity to help build the culture, influence how the site operates, and develop alongside a growing engineering team from the beginning.

If you're a qualified electrician with an NVQ Level 3 and AM2 and are looking for a role where you can continue learning, work on industry-leading infrastructure and build a long-term career, we'd love to hear from you.
