To meet their continued expansion in the design of critical facilities such as data centres, RED ICT has a requirement for a site/office based ICT Infrastructure Design Engineer.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a combination of ICT and telecommunication infrastructure design coordination and technical project management experience in critical facilities built environment such as data centres, airport communication, rail signalling.

The necessary ICT / telecommunications may have been gained in these examples; international consulting engineering practice, an ICT systems or services contractor or manufacturer (for example fibre optic data cabling), systems integration business, related building services engineering industry.

As a key member of the existing ICT design team, the successful candidate will work closely with the RED Engineering design team members and other relevant project stakeholders; other design disciplines (Electrical/Mechanical/Civil/Structural), general and specialist contractors, cost consultants and project managers.

As a role this will be based in our Dubai office, with an emphasis on the Construction Support on a number of ongoing and future projects. Our immediate requirement is for site based support, but the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on our international Hyperscale Data Centre design projects. Going forward we envisage the role to 50/50 split between site based and office based.

The role typically involves acting as ‘Employers Engineer’ with responsibility for the coordination of ICT infrastructure design interpretation for new construction projects. It involves helping the adoption of specification documents and design drawings to ensure contractor compliance.
