This is a rare opportunity to step into a business-critical leadership role, heading up the European function for a growing international MEP contractor in the data centre space.
You’ll be responsible for building, shaping and leading the delivery capability across Europe, starting with a major Frankfurt data centre project but with a clear mandate to expand beyond a single scheme.
This is not just project delivery – this is owning a region.

* Overseeing large-scale MEP packages while maintaining a strategic view across multiple projects
* Supporting pre-construction, bid strategy and client engagement
* Managing senior stakeholders internally and externally
* Playing a key role in scaling the business across Europe
What you’ll need
* Background as a Senior Project Manager / Project Director / Contracts Manager within MEP or mission-critical environments
* Strong experience delivering data centre or large-scale MEP projects
* Commercially astute – comfortable owning P&L, contracts, and margin
* Experience managing teams, not just projects
* Ability to operate across delivery + business growth
* Comfortable in a fast-growth environment where structure isn’t fully built yet
* Strong client-facing capability, ideally with experience helping win or expand work
