About the Opportunity
An exceptional opportunity to join a leading data centre consultancy, delivering mission-critical infrastructure on behalf of one of the world’s largest technology companies.
You’ll be working client-side under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements, supporting the global expansion of hyperscale and colocation data centre capacity across EMEA. These projects are high-value, technically complex, and central to the digital infrastructure powering the world’s biggest tech platforms.
The Role
As a Technical Project Manager, you’ll take responsibility for project delivery from due diligence through to fit-out and handover, acting as the single point of contact between the client, contractors, and internal engineering teams.
You’ll combine technical understanding with project governance and leadership, ensuring every aspect of delivery meets the client’s performance, quality, and compliance expectations.
Key Responsibilities: Preconstruction / Due Diligence
Coordinate technical due diligence of third-party data centres (site assessments, utility availability, capacity studies, risk and compliance reviews).
Lead bid analysis, contractor prequalification, and negotiation of commercial and technical terms.
Support the setup of engineering programmes including auditing, constructability reviews, and optioneering studies.
Assist in scoping, buying-out, and scheduling all direct vendors and consultants.
Construction / Delivery
Oversee the full project lifecycle — cost control, change management, delay analysis, and risk mitigation.
Manage contractor and consultant performance through structured governance, QA/QC reviews, and progress reporting.
Coordinate value engineering initiatives, ensuring efficient technical and financial outcomes.
Track submittals, RFIs, design changes, and site deliverables across disciplines (electrical, mechanical, architectural, and civil).
Monitor and report on construction progress, ensuring adherence to programme and compliance with client standards.
Ensure all relevant health, safety, and environmental standards are being followed, escalating gaps where necessary.
Close-Out / Fit-Out Stage
Coordinate the transition to fit-out and commissioning, ensuring readiness of technical documentation and testing protocols.
Support engineering teams with audits, punch lists, and close-out deliverables including as-builts, O&M manuals, and warranty packs.
Manage final acceptance, handover, and post-completion audits, ensuring all client sign-offs and authority approvals are achieved.
About You
You’ll bring a blend of technical engineering insight and project management leadership, ideally gained within a data centre, critical infrastructure, or complex M&E environment.
Ideal Profile:
5+ years’ experience in project management or technical delivery (consultancy, client-side, or main contractor).
Strong technical understanding of MEP systems, commissioning, and critical environment infrastructure.
Experience managing vendor interfaces, audits, and due diligence for colocation or hyperscale data centres.
Proficient in project management software (MS Project, Primavera, Aconex, or similar).
Excellent stakeholder management, documentation, and communication skills.
Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline (Chartered status desirable).
