Maidenhead
Are you a Project Director with a proven track record delivering large-scale data centre or mission‑critical projects?
This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of a flagship £200M‑£400M new‑build data centre, working with a leading international tier one business experiencing significant growth across the UK and Europe.
This is not a role where you are spread across multiple jobs; you will be the number one on site, responsible for the full lifecycle delivery from early‑stage design through to commissioning and handover. With a strong pipeline of upcoming projects and continued investment into their data centre division, this is a long‑term move for someone looking to progress into senior leadership.
As the Project Director, your role will include:
* Full Project Director responsibility on a £200M+ new‑build data centre
* Lead from pre‑construction / ECI through to full delivery
* Oversee civils, building, and full MEP fit‑out
* Act as the primary client interface and project figurehead
* Manage and develop high‑performing teams (Ops Managers, SPMs, PMs)
* Drive programme, commercial performance, quality, and safety
What They’re Looking For
* Proven Project Director with experience on data centre projects
* Strong background with a Tier 1 main contractor
* Experience delivering data centres or mission‑critical projects
* Ability to manage full project lifecycle (civils, shell, MEP + commissioning)
* Strong leadership, client‑facing, and commercial capability
