Our client is a €1.3bn+ main contractor delivering state-of-the-art data centres across Northern and Central Europe. Known for their turnkey delivery model—from design through to commissioning—they’re expanding fast (10–15% growth annually). They’re now building a €500m+ hyperscale facility in Amsterdam and need a Mechanical Construction Manager to lead the mechanical delivery on-site.

This is a high-responsibility role where you’ll be steering the mechanical side of a complex build — coordinating subcontractors, managing schedules, overseeing safety, and ensuring every installation is delivered to spec, on time, and with zero compromise on quality.

What You’ll Be Doing:
•    Lead day-to-day site activity for all mechanical works — from HVAC to pipework and plant installs.
•    Be the client’s go-to on site — communicating clearly, confidently, and professionally.
•    Prepare method statements, risk assessments, and ensure all works hit safety and project benchmarks.
•    Sequence mechanical installations with the wider project team to stay ahead of schedule.
•    Drive procurement of mechanical plant, materials, and specialist subcontractors.
•    Support change management — document and cost scope changes, and feed into monthly valuations and final accounts.
•    Maintain a rolling two-week lookahead and align labour levels to programme needs.
•    Manage subcontractors tightly — drive quality, performance, and accountability.
•    Flag risks, variations, and delays proactively to the Project Manager.
•    Ensure all delivered materials meet spec and are stored safely and securely.
•    Champion site compliance: health & safety, governance, and zero-tolerance for sloppy standards.
•    Drive site cleanliness, order, and discipline.
•    Work with package managers to develop and improve processes.
•    Own cost and programme impacts related to change management.

What You’ll Bring:
•    A solid mechanical qualification — BEng, HNC, NVQ, or similar.
•    Proven track record in mechanical construction management, ideally on large-scale M&E projects.
•    Data centre experience? That’s a big advantage.
•    Strong leadership, commercial understanding, and communication skills.
•    A proactive mindset — someone who gets ahead of problems and makes the job easier for everyone around them.

On Offer:
•    Join a recognised leader in the data centre space.
•    Work on complex, high-profile projects across the sector.
•    A collaborative team culture with real support and opportunity to grow.
•    Strong salary and package — reflecting the experience and leadership you bring.
