Project Engineering Manager
Location: Hayes, West London
Sector: Data Centres
Salary: £80,000 – £90,000 + Package
The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Engineering Manager to lead the engineering function on a major hyperscale data centre development in West London.
The project includes 18 data halls, approximately 24MW of usable IT power, high-voltage and medium-voltage energy centres, dual backup generation and extensive supporting infrastructure.
This is a senior and influential position with responsibility for engineering governance, technical assurance and quality across the project. You will provide independent oversight, challenge technical decisions where required and ensure works are delivered in line with approved design information, contractual obligations, statutory requirements and engineering best practice.
Role Overview
You will lead the project engineering team and establish clear engineering standards, governance processes and assurance activities across all packages.
The role will involve overseeing design compliance, technical integration, buildability and constructability, while acting as the key interface between design, construction and package delivery teams. You will also take ownership of the project’s technical assurance framework and quality strategy, ensuring NCRs, deviations, concessions and corrective actions are managed effectively.
