Our client is entering its next phase of growth, with an expanding portfolio of data centre developments and a requirement to strengthen its project delivery team.

We are looking for an experienced Development Project Manager to take ownership of the end-to-end delivery of complex data centre projects, working client-side across design, preconstruction, procurement and construction.

This is a broad development delivery position, combining hands-on project management with programme, commercial and stakeholder responsibilities. You’ll work closely with internal teams, consultants and contractors to ensure projects are delivered safely, on programme, within budget and to the required technical standards.

What you’ll be responsible for

• Managing the delivery of multiple development projects across the full project lifecycle.

• Coordinating design teams, consultants and construction contractors.

• Developing and maintaining project programmes, budgets and forecasts.

• Managing procurement activities, tender evaluations and contractor appointments.

• Overseeing project progress, commercial performance, change control and risk.

• Reporting project status, financial performance and key decisions to senior stakeholders.

• Supporting commissioning, testing and the successful handover of completed facilities to operations.

What we’re looking for

• Experience managing complex construction or infrastructure projects, ideally from a client-side or consultancy environment.

• A strong understanding of project delivery from design and preconstruction through to construction and handover.

• Experience managing consultants, contractors, programmes and project budgets.

• Commercial awareness, including procurement, cost control and change management.

• The ability to manage multiple workstreams and communicate effectively with senior stakeholders.

• Data centre or other mission-critical project experience would be advantageous, but isn’t essential.
