Careers

Working at UBIK.

Engineering work on data centers in the Middle East, Africa and Southern Europe, on engagements led by a UBIK principal.

01/The work

Engineers at UBIK work on data centers from feasibility to operational readiness.

In the Middle East, Africa and Southern Europe. Each engagement is led by a principal, who writes the brief, reviews the work and signs each deliverable.

The work is producing and checking drawings and calculations, reviewing designs and contractor submittals, inspecting installations on site, witnessing and recording tests, and writing the reports that close each stage.

UBIK takes engineers on in two ways.

As employees, based in Dubai and in India, and as specialists engaged for a single facility or stage, who work from their own country between site visits.

Site work takes place in the country of each project, and engineers travel to site for inspections, tests and reviews.
