Do you want to take full ownership of a flagship data centre project from mobilisation through to final handover?

This is an opportunity to lead one of London's most significant mission-critical construction projects for a growing international main contractor delivering some of the most technically complex developments across the UK and Europe.

You'll have full responsibility for driving programme, commercial performance, quality and client satisfaction from day one, leading experienced construction, engineering and commercial teams throughout the entire project lifecycle. This isn't a role where you're managing one phase of a project - it's an opportunity to shape and deliver a development from start to finish.

With a strong pipeline of secured work across London, you'll have the opportunity to remain within the region on future projects, while also having the option to broaden your career across major developments throughout Europe if and when the time is right.

The business is built around empowering its project leaders, recognising performance and giving experienced professionals the autonomy to make decisions. As the company continues to grow, genuine opportunities exist to progress into wider operational and strategic leadership positions.

Your Role as Project Director Will Include:

• Taking full accountability for the safe, successful and profitable delivery of a major data centre project.


• Leading multidisciplinary construction, engineering, commercial and support teams throughout the project lifecycle.


• Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners while acting as the senior representative on site.


• Driving programme, commercial performance, quality and operational excellence from mobilisation through to final handover.

As a Project Director You Will Have:

• A proven background delivering major construction projects as a Project Director, Construction Director or Senior Project Manager.


• Strong commercial, contractual and operational leadership skills.


• Excellent client management experience with the ability to build long-term relationships.


• Previous experience delivering mission-critical, data centre, advanced manufacturing, pharmaceutical or similarly complex projects.


• Willingness to work site-based Monday-Friday.
