We are currently supporting a high-security Data Centre in Sunderland and seeking an SC Cleared Site Support Engineer to assist with operations during a critical period. This is a contract role to help alleviate pressure on our existing engineering team, with an immediate start preferred.
The role involves being present on-site to monitor critical infrastructure and ensure smooth daily operations, with a focus on BMS alarm monitoring, site walk-rounds, and first-response escalation. While this isn't a full M&E maintenance role, a background in electrical or mechanical systems is highly beneficial, especially in critical environments such as data centres, control centres, or hospitals.
Contract Overview:

Key Responsibilities:
- Monitor the Building Management System (BMS), responding to and escalating alarms in a timely and effective manner.
- Conduct routine site walk-rounds to check building infrastructure, equipment status, and critical systems.
- Log faults, hazards, and general observations clearly and communicate issues to the on-call engineering team.
- Assist with basic operational tasks in support of the core engineering staff.
- Maintain compliance with site safety procedures, security controls, and health & safety practices.
- Liaise with subcontractors and other personnel where required, ensuring smooth shift handovers.
Requirements:
- Active SC Clearance - this is mandatory for access to the site.
- Ideally qualified in either electrical or mechanical (HVAC) engineering (e.g. City & Guilds, NVQ, or equivalent).
- Experience working in critical environments (data centres, secure government buildings, hospitals, etc.).
- Familiarity with BMS systems and escalation protocols.
- Comfortable working independently during night or day shifts.
- Professional, reliable, and safety-conscious.
Ideal for:
Contract engineers looking for short-term assignments, engineers between projects, or anyone with active SC clearance who can step into a site-critical support role with minimal onboarding.
