• Chair and lead key project meetings, reporting progress, risks, and impacts clearly to stakeholders
• Implement and monitor project controls, procedures, and governance frameworks
• Drive collaboration across disciplines to ensure alignment on programme, quality, and client outcomes

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager on data centre projects
• Background in a consultancy or client-side project management environment
• Strong M&E / building services expertise (mechanical, electrical, mission-critical systems)
