The Role
The Project Director will take full responsibility for the safe, on-time and profitable delivery of major façade and cladding packages on high-profile data centre projects across Europe.

Salary
Salary is open to discussion depending on experience, with a guide of £110,000 to £125,000 plus a competitive benefits package. The final offer will be tailored to the individual and reflects the seniority and impact of the role, with significant potential for future growth within the business.
