Data Centre Engineer – Greenfield Colo Build (Singapore)

Leading tech trading firm | Greenfield deployment | From 0 to live

You will be building out cages in a top-tier Singapore colocation facility—from empty space to fully commissioned, low-latency trading infrastructure. We need a hands‑on Data Centre Engineer who's thrived inside a leading tech trading firm and knows exactly what it takes to stand up cages from scratch.

The Role:
  • Design and implement cage layouts, power/cooling plans, and structured cabling from 0.
  • Rack‑and‑stack servers, network gear, and low‑latency trading hardware to exacting standards.
  • Coordinate vendors, contractors and the colo provider; drive timelines, QA and safety on site.
  • Commission power paths (UPS, PDUs, generators), cooling, fire systems and monitoring; validate redundancy before go‑live.
  • Build runbooks, as‑builts, capacity models and handover documentation for 24/7 operations.
  • Support early-life operations, incident response and continuous improvements once live.
You:
  • Have worked inside a leading tech and understand low‑latency, resilience and change control in production trading environments.
  • Have built colo cages or data centre capacity from 0—design through commissioning, not just BAU ops.
  • Strong in: power distribution (UPS/PDU/gensets), cooling/CRAC, structured cabling (fiber/copper), rack design and cable management.
  • Comfortable managing vendors/contractors on site and holding them to trading‑floor standards.
  • Calm under pressure, precise with documentation, and obsessive about uptime and risk.
Nice to have:

CDCP/CDCS, BICSI RCCD, electrical/mechanical licences, experience with DCIM/BMS, and exposure to FPGA/GPU trading infrastructure.

Offer:
  • Market‑leading package for Singapore (base + bonus + benefits).
  • High‑visibility greenfield project with a top‑tier trading firm.
  • Career path into senior DC engineering, capacity planning or other areas of the buisness
