Job description

Location: Jutland, Denmark | Start: ASAP | Contract: Long-term

We're looking for a Program Manager to take ownership of a major data-center campus and lead it from master plan to handover. You'll run the whole show - construction, infrastructure, utilities, and enabling works - as one connected programme, not a pile of separate projects.

What you'll do:

• Lead the programme. Own the campus delivery strategy end-to-end: master planning, design, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, and close-out.
• Lead the people. Manage a team of Delivery and Construction Project Managers, plus external consultants and contractors - keeping quality and standards consistent across the board.
• Own the numbers. Track performance against safety, schedule, quality, and cost KPIs, and act fast when something's off track.
• Keep everyone aligned. Work closely with Finance, Operations, Sales, and the wider development team so the programme runs transparently and nothing gets lost between teams.
• Manage risk head-on. Spot issues early, approve corrective action, and keep governance and HSE standards tight throughout.

What you'll bring (requirements):

Experience: 10+ years leading major capital projects or complex construction programmes - large-scale data centres or mission-critical facilities a strong plus

Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field

Certification: PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent

Expertise: Data centre construction, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing), commissioning & operational readiness, programme controls, commercial/contract management

Languages: Fluent English required; Danish a plus

Track record: Managing multiple projects, teams, and major contractors within one integrated programme

Why this role:

You'll be the person who turns a complex, high-stakes build into a well-run, on-time, on-budget reality - with real authority to make decisions and shape how the campus comes together.
