    Job description

    Egis is building its data centre capability across the UAE and wider MESA region. We are seeking a Technical Director to lead the technical direction of that emerging practice - setting standards, leading major bids, and acting as our senior technical authority on mission-critical work.

    What You'll Do

    • Provide technical leadership and sign-off authority across all data centre projects in the region
    • Define and maintain MEP/ELV design standards and delivery frameworks for mission-critical work
    • Lead technical input on major bids and proposals across the MESA region
    • Build and mentor a specialist data centre team within a 400+ strong MEP/ELV practice
    • Engage with clients, hyperscalers, EPCs, and authorities at Director level

    • Demonstrable experience at Technical Director, Associate Director, or equivalent level
    • Deep expertise across data centre MEP/ELV systems: HV/LV, generators, UPS, precision cooling, EPMS, DCIM, and ICT infrastructure
    • Familiarity with Uptime Institute, TIA-942, and EN 50600 requirements
    • Strong commercial awareness across fee negotiation, scope definition, and risk management
    • Degree-qualified with Chartered Engineer status (CEng or regional equivalent) required
    • GCC experience preferred; UAE track record a strong advantage
    • 400+ strong, award-winning MEP/ELV team across UAE, KSA, India, Jordan, and Egypt
    • Live and growing pipeline of hyperscale and mission-critical opportunities across the region
    • Platform to build a specialist data centre practice from the ground up
