or
£375 - £500 per day
This is a role for an M&E Construction Manager who wants to be close to the delivery of a live data centre project.
You will be joining a specialist project team delivering complex building services infrastructure in a critical environment. This is not a general construction management role. The focus will be on coordinating mechanical, electrical and specialist services on site, driving subcontractors, maintaining programme and making sure the installation is delivered safely, cleanly and to the right standard.
You will need to be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where drawings, coordination, quality, access, logistics and commissioning requirements all need to be managed properly.
What you’ll be doing
Managing day-to-day M&E construction activity across a live data centre project.
Coordinating mechanical, electrical and specialist subcontractors to make sure works are delivered safely, correctly and in line with programme.
Driving installation works across areas such as containment, LV distribution, cabling, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, cooling systems, pipework, BMS, fire alarm, security, structured cabling and associated technical infrastructure.
Working closely with Project Managers, Engineers, Supervisors, Design Managers, QA teams, commissioning teams and client-side representatives.
Managing short-term lookahead programmes, labour planning, workface coordination, RAMS, permits, progress updates and site constraints.
Maintaining installation quality through inspections, snagging, QA checks, ITPs, test records and handover information.
Helping resolve site issues before they affect programme, cost, quality or commissioning.
Supporting the transition from construction into testing, commissioning and project handover.
Making sure subcontractors are working safely and that site standards are properly maintained.
What you’ll need
Previous experience as an M&E Construction Manager, Building Services Manager, MEP Manager, Senior Supervisor or Site Manager on technically detailed projects.
Strong building services experience, ideally gained with an M&E contractor, data centre specialist, main contractor technical services team or mission critical contractor.
Data centre experience would be ideal, but experience on commercial, pharmaceutical, healthcare, life sciences, infrastructure, industrial or other technically complex M&E projects would also be relevant.
A good understanding of M&E installation sequencing, drawings, coordination, QA, commissioning requirements and site delivery.
The ability to manage subcontractors, drive progress and keep control of multiple work areas at once.
Strong communication skills and the confidence to deal with engineers, supervisors, subcontractors, client teams and senior project leadership.
SMSTS, CSCS or ECS and First Aid would be expected.
Why this role
This is a strong opportunity to move onto a data centre project without needing to already be a fully established data centre specialist.
You will be involved in a technically demanding environment, working closely with the project team and taking responsibility for making sure the M&E installation is delivered properly on site.
For someone with solid building services experience who wants to strengthen their critical environment exposure, this is a good move.
