Senior Civils Programme Manager

Senior Civils Technical Programme Manager | Data Centres |
We’re working with a global client delivering hyperscale data centre programmes and are looking to engage with senior-level civil engineers who can operate at a technical governance and design assurance level.
This is not a traditional design role — it’s a client-side position where you’ll challenge, influence and shape major infrastructure across multiple regions.
What you’ll be doing:
* Acting as technical authority for civil engineering across large-scale data centre programmes
* Reviewing and challenging consultant designs across utilities, drainage, earthworks and infrastructure
* Driving design assurance and governance from concept through to construction
* Coordinating multidisciplinary teams to ensure fully integrated, buildable solutions
* Providing input into constructability, risk and programme delivery
Key areas of expertise:
* Underground utilities (drainage, water, fibre, HV/MV/LV networks)
* Earthworks strategies (cut & fill, ground improvement, sequencing)
* External works, roads, logistics and site infrastructure
* Multidisciplinary coordination across civil, MEP and design teams
What we’re looking for:
* Strong background in civil engineering design, design management or technical assurance
* Experience on complex infrastructure / mission-critical / large-scale projects
* Proven ability to review, challenge and influence consultant design
* Strong stakeholder engagement across clients, consultants and contractors
* Experience using ACC or similar design management platforms
Why this role:
* Work on global hyperscale data centre programmes (EMEA & APAC)
* Client-side influence — shape design, don’t just deliver it
* Remote role with international exposure
* High-value, technically complex infrastructure
