James Lewis Recruitment
City Of Westminster, London
Our client is a green tech start up in the data centre space who have been running for about 4 years. They have come up with a highly innovative concept that harnesses the heat generated by data centres and recycles it into facilities such as public swimming pools, leisure centres and district heating networks. The aim is that the heat generated by the servers heats the pool and the heat transfer in turn cools the data centre. The upside is two-fold in that it reduces both the cost and the carbon footprint for both parties. After receiving a significant investment from a major energy supplier they are now forging ahead with the construction of their first 5 projects which range in size from 400KW to 4MW. The rollout is planned to go nationwide followed by developments in the US and Nordics. They have already engaged with a group of specialist consultants to advise on the construction of these data centres and now need to employ their own Senior Project Manager to act and advise on their behalf. The plan is eventually to be in a position to self-build to help reduce the cost of using external consultants and contractors. We are therefore looking to hear from Construction Project Managers with a proven track record in data centre construction projects in the UK. You will ideally have come from an MEP background or at least have demonstratable experience in understanding the MEP elements and integration of services which make up the main components of these builds. Due to the smaller scale of these projects, you will be familiar with managing multiple projects at once. The role is paying 80-90k + share options (which could be significant considering the growth plans). It is a hybrid role, balanced with time spent on site and in the office in Victoria.
