Data Centre Mechanical & Cooling Recruitment

As data centre capacity and rack densities continue to increase, cooling infrastructure has become an increasingly critical part of facility design and operation. We recruit the engineers, project professionals and technical leaders responsible for delivering resilient, energy-efficient and scalable mechanical infrastructure.

Mechanical & Cooling Expertise

Our recruitment network covers the full mechanical and cooling lifecycle from design and pre-construction through installation, commissioning, handover and live operations.

We support hiring across technologies and systems including chilled water systems, air- and water-cooled chillers, CRAH and CRAC units, AHUs, cooling towers, pumps and pipework, heat rejection systems, free cooling and other critical HVAC infrastructure.

As data centres move towards higher-density compute and AI workloads, we are also developing our network across liquid cooling technologies, including direct-to-chip cooling, coolant distribution units (CDUs), rear-door heat exchangers and other advanced thermal management solutions.

Specialist Roles

We recruit across engineering, project delivery, commissioning, operations and senior leadership, including:

• Mechanical Design Engineers
• HVAC / Cooling Engineers
• Mechanical Project Engineers
• Mechanical Project Managers
• MEP Managers
• Mechanical Construction Managers
• Commissioning Engineers
• Commissioning Managers
• Thermal Engineers
• CFD Engineers
• Applications Engineers
• Critical Facilities Engineers
• Operations & Maintenance Engineers
• Principal / Lead Mechanical Engineers
• Mechanical Engineering Managers
• Technical Directors
• Heads of Engineering
• Project Directors

From an individual specialist appointment through to building an entire project or engineering team, our search is targeted around the technical requirements of the position and the market in which our clients operate.

Who We Partner With

Leotec works across the data centre ecosystem, supporting:

Data centre developers and operators, Colocation providers, Hyperscale supply chains, General contractors, MEP contractors, Engineering consultancies, Commissioning specialists, Cooling OEMs, HVAC manufacturers, Specialist technology vendors

We understand that mechanical recruitment within mission-critical infrastructure requires more than matching a job title to a CV. Cooling architecture, project stage, technical environment, geographic experience and exposure to live critical facilities can all determine whether someone is genuinely suitable for a position.
