About the role
We’re looking for a Talent Partner with deep expertise in data center and construction recruitment to fulfil end-to-end hiring across critical functions. This role will focus on building teams across the data center lifecycle - including site development, design, planning, cost, project management and operations.
You’ll act as a strategic partner across Data Center, MEP, and Construction Delivery, owning hiring plans, market mapping, and delivery across specialist roles.
This is a hands-on role, you will personally run numerous high-impact searches concurrently, influence hiring decisions with data and market insight, and help build a world-class hiring bar.
What you'll be doing
- Own hiring delivery across EMEA Data Center (e.g. Site Development, Design, MEP, Construction, Commissioning, Operations).
- Run full-cycle recruiting from intake, calibration, sourcing, assessment design, interview process, offer management, and closing.
- Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies for niche profiles including MEP, construction project managers, commissioning specialists, commercial, planning, and data center operators.
- Build and cultivate strong, trusted relationships with internal stakeholders
- Bring market intelligence on talent — including compensation trends, competitor mapping, and realistic time-to-fill expectations across infrastructure and technical markets.
- Develop pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill roles across both corporate and site-based functions.
- Improve structured interviewing and selection quality (clear competencies, calibrated scorecards, consistent debriefs).
- Ensure an exceptional candidate experience — timely, transparent, and high-touch where needed.
