• Promote a strong health and safety culture on site, in line with French regulations and client standards.
• Report weekly progress, risks and KPIs to the client and senior stakeholders.
• 5+ years in project management on mission-critical builds, with at least 2 years on data centre projects.
• Proven delivery of systems integration across electrical, mechanical and controls packages.

• Hands-on experience of commissioning phases, including IST.
• Strong scheduling skills using Primavera P6 or MS Project.
• Degree in electrical, mechanical or building services engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Fluent English; able to lead meetings and write reports for international clients.
• Confident stakeholder manager who can hold contractors to account.
