About the role

Working closely with our Construction Manager and Services Manager, and as part of a wider dedicated development team, this role’s primary purpose is to support the project coordination of the services component (e.g. plumbing, electrical, mechanical) within our large‑scale data centre builds, based in Brooklyn. Coordinating from initiation through to planning and delivery, this role is integral in ensuring that the project remains well‑organised, delivered within timelines, and that all parties (internally and externally) are aligned each step of the way. Combining strong stakeholder engagement with detailed reporting and on‑site inspections, this position oversees services coordination throughout the project lifecycle.

• Support with data centre services projects – coordinating the implementation of critical infrastructure (e.g. electrical, plumbing, mechanical) and technical services.
• Coordinate and participate in site inspections, reporting on defects, progress, and risk.
• Prepare, maintain, and update project documentation (e.g. Scope of Works and programming) in Aconex and SharePoint.
• Support with weekly reporting, project commissioning plans, and functional testing.
• Build relationships and communication loops with key project stakeholders (i.e. customers, tradespeople, contractors), attending regular site meetings.
• Ensure compliance with Confidentiality and Health and Safety Policies.

• CDC Academy – Enhance your professional development with specialised training courses that will help you develop skills and thrive in your chosen career.
• CDC Day – An additional day of paid leave dedicated to nurturing your health and wellbeing.
• Parental Leave – Inclusive and above legislative tenure of parental leave entitlements to help you start, grow and care for your family.
• Volunteer Leave – 2 days of volunteering leave for any cause or charity of your choice.
• Employment Assistance Program – Support for you and your family with access to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program.
• CDC Social Events – Inclusive events that nurture relationships, connection and friendships across the business; CDC hosts BBQs, family picnics and community events.

About you

This role is suited to an individual possessing a dedicated background within construction or services project coordination, or previous exposure within project engineering within large‑scale developments. Candidates with experience within senior trades, combined with project management exposure, are encouraged to apply.

• Services or construction project coordination exposure, ideally within critical infrastructure or a large‑scale/complex setting (e.g. hospitals, pharmaceuticals).
• Previous qualifications and/or experience within Electrical or HVAC.
• Highly developed rapport‑building skills, engaging with stakeholders of various seniority levels.
• Systems savvy – previous exposure to ACONEX or PROCORE is beneficial.
• Commercially minded with a foundational understanding of cost controls and purchasing.
• Adapted to working at pace, and ability to juggle multiple competing priorities.
• Tertiary qualifications in Construction or Project Management are preferred, but not essential.
