• Coordinate multi-disciplinary teams including design consultants, MEP specialists, contractors, and vendors.
• Oversee the planning, design, procurement, and construction phases while mitigating risks and managing changes.
• Ensure adherence to technical standards, safety protocols, and quality requirements specific to data centre environments.
• Monitor project budgets and cash flow in collaboration with the cost management team.
• Provide leadership in problem-solving, issue resolution, and team development.

Your background:

• 15+ years of project management experience, with a minimum of 6–8 years in data centre or mission-critical infrastructure.
• Proven track record of delivering fast-track, high-value projects in live or hyperscale data centre environments.
• Familiarity with data centre-specific systems: power redundancy (UPS, generators), cooling systems, white space requirements, etc.
• Strong working knowledge of international forms of contract (e.g., FIDIC, NEC).
• PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent project management certification is an advantage.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience working with international clients and contractors is preferred.
