Role Overview

The Engineering Manager / Project Manager will lead end-to-end engineering, design coordination, and project execution for large-scale Data Centre projects across Europe. The role requires strong cross-disciplinary engineering leadership, techno-commercial acumen, stakeholder management, and the ability to drive productivity, quality, and timely delivery in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Project & Engineering Leadership

• Lead overall engineering management for data centre projects covering

  MEP, civil, structural, architectural, plant systems, and infrastructure

  .
• Manage and coordinate multidisciplinary design teams across

  BIM, 3D modelling, detail engineering, clash detection

  , and digital engineering workflows.
• Ensure compliance with European design codes, standards, and regulatory requirements.

2. BIM & Technical Coordination

• Oversee BIM execution strategy, model development, version control, and integration with engineering deliverables.
• Facilitate coordination between engineering, architecture, construction, and vendors to ensure design accuracy and constructability.
• Resolve interdisciplinary technical queries and drive model-based reviews for optimized design efficiency.

3. Project Planning & Productivity

• Develop and manage project schedules, engineering deliverable plans, and resource allocation for distributed teams.
• Drive productivity KPIs, workflow automation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Monitor progress, identify bottlenecks, and implement corrective actions to achieve milestone targets.

4. Techno-Commercial Management

• Support proposal development, estimation, BOQ preparation, and technical bid evaluations.
• Lead contract negotiations, vendor finalization, and value engineering discussions.
• Manage procurement interfaces to ensure alignment with project specifications, budgets, and lead times.

5. Cost Control, Billing & Invoicing

• Track project budget, cash flow forecasts, and cost-to-complete analyses.
• Manage monthly invoicing, change orders, claims, and cost variance reporting.
• Ensure accurate documentation and customer approvals for progressive billing.

6. Quality Assurance & Compliance

• Implement QA/QC processes across all engineering deliverables, ensuring adherence to project specifications and standards.
• Conduct technical audits, design reviews, and risk assessments.
• Ensure HSE compliance across engineering and site-related deliverables.

7. Client & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as the primary engineering interface with clients, consultants, contractors, vendors, and internal teams.
• Present progress reports, technical solutions, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Build strong working relationships to ensure project alignment and customer satisfaction.

8. Team Leadership & Mentoring

• Lead, mentor, and develop high-performance engineering teams.
• Promote a culture of collaboration, accountability, and technical excellence.
• Support training in BIM, digital engineering, and modern project delivery methods.
