Electrical Project Manager – Critical Infrastructure / Data Centre Projects
North West / Midlands / Yorkshire
Permanent Position
Mech Electrics are working on behalf of a key client within the critical infrastructure and data centre sector to recruit an electrically biased Project Manager to support a mechanically biased Operations Manager across a portfolio of live and upcoming projects.
This is a long-term opportunity to join a technically driven business delivering high-specification projects across Manchester, the Wirral, Yorkshire and the Midlands.
The role would suit someone who enjoys managing multiple projects and teams simultaneously whilst maintaining strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and site-based delivery teams.
The Role
The Electrical Project Manager will take responsibility for overseeing the successful delivery of multiple electrical building services packages across a number of technically complex projects, primarily within data centre and critical infrastructure environments.
The role will involve managing projects remotely alongside regular site visits, supporting Site Managers on each project and maintaining close communication with clients and key stakeholders throughout delivery.
This position offers a high level of autonomy and would suit someone comfortable organising their own diary and travel arrangements. For example, the successful candidate may choose to visit one site, stay overnight and continue onto another regional project the following day.
