Data Centre Engineering

Data Centre Recruitment Australia

Development, plant engineering and operations seats for AI factories and data centres.

We recruit the people who develop, power, cool and run AI factories and data centres: project and commissioning engineers, electrical and controls engineers, mechanical and cooling engineers, and data centre operations teams. Australia, Singapore and Southeast Asia.

We search these seats the way we search AI, platform and security seats: in utilities, mining, hospital plant and Tier 1 M&E contractors, not in other data centres.

Roles we recruit

Four lanes, one desk

Development & delivery

We recruit the owner-side team that takes a data centre or AI factory from late design through construction, commissioning and handover.

Electrical, power & controls

We recruit the electrical discipline from head of engineering to licensed electrician: power, HV and MV, grid connection, SCADA and controls.

Mechanical, cooling & thermal

We recruit the mechanical discipline for liquid-cooled and conventional plant: thermal design, HVAC and hydraulics, fabrication and commissioning.

Data centre operations

We recruit the teams that run a live site day to day: operations managers, field service technicians and operations centre support on 24/7 rosters.

How we search

Where these people come from

Data centre and AI factory talent in Australia rarely comes from data centres. We search the adjacent critical environments and the contractors who build them.

Utilities, transmission and renewables

HV and MV engineers, SCADA and controls, protection and grid-connection people from generators, network operators and battery projects.

Mining, oil and gas, and heavy industry

Plant electrical, mechanical and controls engineers used to 24/7 operations, permit-to-work and remote or regional sites.

Hospitals, pharma and semiconductor plant

Critical cooling, clean utilities and facilities operations teams who already run uptime-critical mechanical and electrical plant.

Tier 1 mechanical and electrical contractors

Project engineers, site managers, commissioning and integrated systems testing engineers who have delivered data centre and industrial builds.

Sydney-based since 2012, with search experience in Singapore. The same search method Sonitec applies to AI, platform and security seats runs this desk.
