Project Manager - Data Centres

Overview

Are you an experienced Data Centre Project Manager looking to lead some of the most technically complex and high-profile data centre projects in Europe?

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of large-scale and hyperscale data centre commissioning programmes, working at the forefront of critical infrastructure delivery.

In this role, you’ll be trusted to lead end-to-end data centre projects , guiding them from late-stage construction through commissioning and into full operational readiness. You’ll act as the central point of coordination, bringing together construction partners, commissioning teams, vendors and senior stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget and to exacting technical standards.

This position offers a strategic leadership focus , with around 70% of your time spent on project management activities such as planning, reporting, budgeting, commercials and stakeholder management, balanced with 30% on-site involvement . You’ll be visible where it matters — supporting test witnessing, resolving challenges and ensuring commissioning milestones are met — without being expected to carry out hands-on technical work.

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy working in fast-paced environments, managing complexity and taking responsibility for mission-critical infrastructure that underpins global digital services.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong knowledge of data centre infrastructure, design and commissioning
• A confident project leader with excellent stakeholder and vendor management skills
• Background in engineering or a technical discipline, with 5+ years’ relevant experience
• PMP or similar certification is an advantage

Why apply?

• High-impact, visible role with real ownership and autonomy
• Collaborative, professional environment with long-term project pipelines

If you’re ready to take the lead on Europe’s next generation of data centre projects, we’d love to hear from you.
