The digital world runs on power. And right now, we're building the backbone of it.
We're working with our client who is looking to hire a Senior Electrical Construction Manager to lead the electrical delivery on one of Europe's most ambitious hyperscale data centre projects.
This is mission-critical work. Multi-MW installations. Redundant systems that can't fail. N+1 architecture where precision isn't optional-it's everything. And you'll be at the centre of it all, working with a Top 10 M&E contractor known for securing the projects others only dream of.
What You'll Command:
- End-to-end electrical delivery on a hyperscale data centre-from design coordination through to energisation and commissioning
- Leadership of multidisciplinary site teams, specialist subcontractors, and package managers across HV/LV systems, backup power, and critical infrastructure
- Strategic client engagement with hyperscale operators and tech giants who demand flawless execution
- Technical authority over EHV/HV switchgear, generator systems, UPS, PDUs, and busbar installations
- Design integration with MEP, controls, and BMS teams-ensuring every system speaks the same language
- Commercial oversight: managing multi-million-pound packages while protecting margins and programme
- Risk management across complex, fast-track programmes where delays cost millions
What Sets You Apart:
- Senior-level M&E experience managing large-scale electrical projects ( 20m+ value)
- Hyperscale or Mission-Critical environment expertise-Data Centres, Co-location facilities, or Critical Infrastructure
- Deep technical knowledge of HV/LV systems, standby power, UPS architecture, and resilient electrical design (Tier III/IV standards)
- Fluent in BS 7671, IET guidance, CDM regulations, and the unique compliance demands of data centre environments
- Proven ability to manage fast-track programmes with overlapping trades and compressed timelines
- Strong commercial acumen-you understand P&L, cost control, and what drives project profitability
- Relevant qualifications + CSCS/ECS/SSSTS as standard
What Takes You to the Next Level:
- HNC/HND or Degree in Electrical Engineering
- SMSTS, IOSH Managing Safely, or equivalent senior safety qualifications
- Experience with Uptime Institute standards (Tier III/IV certification processes)
- BIM Level 2 and digital design coordination experience
- Membership with IET, CIBSE, or similar professional bodies
- Background working with hyperscale clients (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Meta, Oracle, etc.)
This is infrastructure at the edge of what's possible.
If you've been waiting for a project that genuinely challenges what you're capable of-this is it.
