    • Source specialized Fire & Security systems: Gas-based suppression (FM-200/Novec) and VESDA smoke detection.
  • Technical Vetting & Compliance:
    • Ensure all materials comply with Uptime Institute Tier III and Tier IV certification requirements.

    • Develop and maintain a Critical Equipment Tracker for real-time reporting to Project Managers.
    • Coordinate Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) with international manufacturers before shipment.
    • Oversee complex logistics and site delivery for heavy-lift MEP assets.
  • Commercial & Vendor Negotiation:
    • Manage relationships with Tier-1 global partners: Schneider Electric, ABB, Vertiv, Siemens, Cummins, and Caterpillar.
    • Negotiate project-specific pricing, extended warranty terms, and site-commissioning support.
    • Perform value engineering to optimize costs without compromising "Fault-Tolerant" design integrity.

Mandatory Candidate Requirements - Data Center Procurement Engineer

  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is mandatory.
  • Specific Experience: Minimum one full lifecycle Data Center project successfully completed in the UAE or GCC.
  • General Experience: 1 to 2 years of MEP procurement for Data Centers experience within the UAE market.
