- Maintain strong relationships across internal teams and external project partners
About You
The ideal candidate will have experience delivering data centre projects or working within technically complex, services-intensive environments.
You will have a strong understanding of how projects are designed, coordinated and delivered, with experience across mechanical, electrical or building services considered highly advantageous.
Suitable backgrounds may include:
- Project Manager or Junior Project Manager
- Project Engineer or Senior Project Engineer
- Mechanical or Electrical Project Engineer
- Services Engineer or Services Manager
- Mechanical or electrical services contractor
- Trade background combined with project delivery experience
Skills & Experience
