This role is strictly for an experienced Senior Data Centre Design Manager.
Candidates without senior-level, hyperscale data centre design management experience will not be considered.
We are seeking a Senior Data Centre Design Manager (Mechanical) to lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary design delivery across large-scale, mission-critical data centre developments in Europe.
This is a hands-on senior leadership role, responsible for owning the design process from early concept and permitting through construction, commissioning and Integrated Systems Testing (IST), within an owner-operator development environment.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage multi-disciplinary design teams (CSA, MEPH, ICT) on hyperscale data centre projects
Act as the senior technical authority for mechanical systems while coordinating all other disciplines
Manage and review Basis of Design (BoD), drawings, specifications and design deliverables
Ensure compliance with internal standards, change control and design gating processes
Own the design schedule, aligning with procurement, tender and construction milestones
Interface with contractors, commissioning agents, vendors, authorities and internal stakeholders
Manage design change, risk, cost and programme impacts
Co-manage commissioning activities and lead Integrated Systems Testing (IST)
Support value engineering, vendor selection and OFCI equipment specifications
Essential Experience & Qualifications
Senior-level experience as a Data Centre Design Manager is mandatory
Degree in Mechanical Engineering (postgraduate qualification advantageous)
Strong background in data centre or highly serviced, mission-critical buildings
Proven delivery of large-scale developments (€250m+)
Extensive experience managing hyperscale, multi-disciplinary design teams
Strong understanding of CSA, MEPH and ICT integration
Experience with commissioning and complex building systems (liquid cooling knowledge highly desirable)
Familiarity with BIM, ACC/BIM 360, Revit, Bluebeam and design governance processes
Ability to confidently challenge, defend and communicate technical decisions at senior level
Willingness to travel internationally (up to ~25%)
What This Role Is Not
Not a junior or mid-level Design Manager role
Not discipline-only or consultancy-support focused
This is a true senior owner-side data centre design leadership position
