Job description

Intelligent Employment is connecting with experienced Project Managers interested in current and upcoming opportunities within large-scale data centre construction projects across Finland.

The data centre industry continues to attract significant investment, creating exciting opportunities for project management professionals with experience in complex construction and engineering environments.

We are particularly interested in professionals who have successfully delivered major projects in data centres, industrial construction, EPC projects, energy, power generation or large-scale infrastructure.

Previous data centre experience is an advantage, but not a requirement. If you have managed complex industrial or infrastructure projects, your expertise could be highly relevant to this growing sector.

What kind of responsibilities could you expect?

Depending on the project and position, responsibilities may include:

• Managing and coordinating major construction activities and project work packages.
• Overseeing contractors, subcontractors and engineering partners.
• Monitoring project schedules, budgets, quality, safety and delivery milestones.
• Coordinating interfaces between civil, structural, mechanical and electrical disciplines.
• Identifying project risks, resolving construction challenges and driving progress on site.
• Managing communication between stakeholders, contractors and project teams.
• Supporting project delivery from early construction through completion and handover.

What kind of background are we looking for?

• Proven project management experience within large-scale construction, industrial, energy or infrastructure projects.
• Strong understanding of project execution, contractor management, scheduling and cost control.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary teams and complex project interfaces.
• Good leadership, communication and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively in international project environments.
• Professional working proficiency in English.
• Willingness to work on-site in Finland, including relocation where required.

Experience in data centre construction is highly valued, but candidates from major industrial plants, power generation, manufacturing facilities and international EPC projects are equally encouraged to apply.

Why explore opportunities in data centre construction?

• Growing industry: Become part of one of the fastest-developing sectors in construction and infrastructure.
• Major projects: Work on large-scale, technically demanding developments.
• Transferable expertise: Apply your existing industrial or infrastructure project management experience in a new sector.
• International environment: Collaborate with experienced professionals across engineering and construction disciplines.
• Career development: Explore long-term opportunities in an evolving industry.

Important: On-site opportunities

The positions we are exploring are primarily on-site roles at data centre construction projects in Finland. A strong physical presence at project locations is essential, and relocation may be required depending on the opportunity.

Whether you are actively looking for your next role or simply interested in exploring opportunities in the data centre sector, we would be happy to hear from you.
