Job description

Director - Data Centres, Asia

An established contractor is seeking an experienced director-level leader to lead and grow its data centres business unit in Asia.

This is a compelling opportunity to combine entrepreneurial freedom with the security and resources of an established organisation. Rather than building from scratch, you will inherit strong foundations: trusted client relationships, several projects already under construction and a healthy pipeline of future opportunities.

You will have access to proven operational systems, an established supply chain, experienced delivery teams and the financial strength needed to pursue major projects. The company's reputation and market credibility will also provide a strong platform for winning work, attracting high-quality talent and developing long-term partnerships with leading clients.

At the same time, the role offers genuine autonomy and influence. You will shape the regional strategy, build the team, strengthen client relationships and translate an existing pipeline into sustainable growth.

Why join?

• Lead an established and well-positioned data centres business
• Take ownership of live projects and a strong pipeline from day one
• Benefit from existing client relationships and market credibility
• Access proven systems, resources and organisational support
• Work with established supply-chain and delivery partners
• Build and develop a high-performing regional team
• Influence strategy, investment and future growth across Asia
• Combine the security of an established contractor with the scope to make a significant personal impact

We're keen to speak with senior construction professionals who offer:

• A strong track record of delivering complex data centre projects
• Leadership experience at Director, Business Unit or Regional level
• Deep knowledge of Asian construction markets
• Strong commercial acumen and established client relationships
• The ability to build and inspire high-performing teams
• A proven talent for converting project pipelines into sustainable growth
