DC Tooling Engineer

About the Role
Our client, a well-established name in industrial engineering and field services, is looking for a Data Centre (DC) Tooling Engineer to manage, maintain, and support the tools, test equipment, and calibration processes used by field engineers across data centre client sites. This is a field-based role requiring travel between sites to ensure engineers have fully compliant, safe, and calibrated tooling to carry out planned and reactive maintenance activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the inventory, condition, and calibration status of tools and test equipment used across DC sites
• Coordinate calibration schedules with approved suppliers and ensure certificates are logged and up to date
• Conduct routine inspections and audits of tooling to ensure compliance with health & safety and quality standards
• Support field engineers with the correct tools/equipment for planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive works
• Identify and resolve tooling faults, arranging repair, replacement, or decommissioning as required
• Maintain accurate records of tooling assets, calibration certificates, and audit trails (e.g. via CMMS or asset management systems)
• Liaise with procurement to source new tools/equipment and manage stock levels
• Ensure all tooling meets client-specific data centre compliance requirements (e.g. ESD-safe tools, torque-controlled equipment)
• Travel to client sites across the UK to deliver tooling audits, training, and support
• Support continuous improvement initiatives around tooling standards and processes

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience in a tooling, calibration, or asset management role — ideally within data centres, facilities management, or critical infrastructure environments
• Working knowledge of calibration processes and certification requirements
• Familiarity with mechanical and electrical hand tools, torque wrenches, and test equipment
• Strong organisational skills with high attention to detail and record-keeping accuracy
• Comfortable working independently and travelling regularly between sites
• Health & safety awareness, ideally with relevant certifications (e.g. IOSH, NEBOSH)
• Full UK driving licence required
• Experience with CMMS or asset management software is advantageous
