MEPF Construction Manager – Hyperscale Data Centres
📍 Location: UK | Full-time, site-based
💷 Salary: £100,000–£115,000 DOE
🏗️ Up to £115k. Major hyperscale data centre developments. A senior, owner-side construction role supporting infrastructure behind one of the world's largest cloud computing platforms.
This is an opportunity for an experienced MEPF Construction Manager to take a central role in the delivery of major mission-critical developments, overseeing Tier 1 contractors and driving coordination across mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems.
Coming from a major MEP contractor, Tier 1 Main Contractor or data centre delivery environment? This could be your move into a high-impact construction oversight position.
About the Role
You'll be the central coordination point across MEPF construction activities on major UK hyperscale data centre developments.
Working alongside General Contractors, specialist MEPF subcontractors, design consultants and equipment vendors, you'll ensure complex building services installations progress safely, efficiently and to programme.
Your focus is contractor performance, construction sequencing, technical coordination, procurement and commissioning readiness.
This is a hands-on construction leadership role for someone who understands how complex MEP systems come together and knows how to keep major projects moving.
What You'll Be Doing
- Oversee MEPF construction activities across mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection installations.
- Challenge Tier 1 contractors on progress, resources, quality, sequencing and programme recovery.
- Coordinate interfaces between MEPF, structural, civil and architectural construction packages.
- Review construction drawings, technical submissions, design changes and installation methodologies.
- Monitor procurement, long-lead equipment deliveries and critical installation milestones.
- Identify technical risks, resolve construction constraints and maintain delivery momentum.
- Drive installation completion and readiness for Levels 1–3 commissioning, supporting subsequent Level 4/5 testing and handover.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years' experience in MEP construction, building services engineering or construction management.
- Proven experience overseeing multidisciplinary MEP installations on major construction or mission-critical projects.
- Strong technical knowledge across mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems.
- Experience managing Tier 1 Main Contractors and specialist MEP subcontractors.
- Strong construction sequencing, programme management, technical coordination and quality assurance capability.
- Degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Building Services or a related discipline.
Particularly Interested in Candidates With
- Hyperscale or colocation data centre construction experience.
- Backgrounds in Tier 1 Main Contracting, major MEP contracting, EPCM or construction consultancy.
- Experience coordinating critical cooling, chilled water, electrical distribution, UPS, generators and fire protection systems.
- Knowledge of BMS, EPMS, long-lead equipment procurement and specialist vendor coordination.
- Experience supporting phased commissioning, system turnover or Level 4/5 integrated testing.
No previous owner-side experience? That's not a barrier. Strong MEPF construction operators from major contractor environments are particularly relevant, provided you can transition into a technical oversight and coordination role.

Why This Role Stands Out
✅ Up to £115k DOE – competitive salary for an experienced multidisciplinary construction professional.
✅ Major hyperscale developments – technically demanding infrastructure supporting global cloud computing operations.
✅ Real project influence – oversee contractor performance, challenge construction programmes and coordinate critical MEPF delivery.
✅ Broader technical responsibility – operate across multiple building services disciplines rather than being restricted to a single mechanical or electrical package.
Best-Fit Candidates / Useful Matching Context
Relevant titles include MEPF Construction Manager, MEP Construction Manager, Senior MEP Manager, Building Services Manager, M&E Construction Manager, Technical Services Manager and MEP Project Manager.
Suitable backgrounds include Tier 1 Main Contractors, major MEP specialists, EPCM organisations, engineering consultancies and owner-side construction teams delivering hyperscale data centres, mission-critical facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing or major industrial infrastructure.
Relevant experience includes multidisciplinary MEP coordination, critical power and cooling systems, contractor oversight, construction sequencing, long-lead equipment and commissioning readiness.
Location: UK project-based, requiring full-time site attendance and flexibility to travel between project locations.
