Jack Hyland-Knight

Although I only started working in the industry three years ago, I know I will be here for a long time. I have always been a problem-solver and the sort of person who asks the question “why?”. It's no wonder that I feel so at home at Cundall, tackling tough engineering problems on a day-to-day basis whilst working with immensely talented people from around the globe. I am passionate about sustainable design in data centres, particularly looking at waste heat recovery and water-cooled technology. I have been fortunate to apply this interest when working on multiple hyperscale data centre projects across Europe.

In the critical systems team, we strive to produce excellent designs on all our projects. This has been proven with industry-recognised award wins for our projects, and I am very proud to be working in a team at the forefront of sustainable data centre design. I am determined to continue setting the bar with regards to low-carbon solutions in the industry.

Collaboration is a key aspect of working on large data centre projects. As engineers we are the lead designers on these projects and communicating clearly is an essential part of the role. We lead by example and produce highly technical designs for our clients.
