• Lead the successful delivery of large-scale data center construction projects.
• Manage projects from preconstruction through commissioning and client handover.
• Oversee project teams, subcontractors and key stakeholders.
• Drive programme, cost, quality and safety performance.

• Full project lifecycle experience from preconstruction through turnover/commissioning.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to build and lead project teams.
• Comfortable working on-site and remaining hands-on and close to project delivery rather than operating purely from an executive level.
