Project Manager – Data centres
Our client is a relatively new player within the UK data centre sector.

* Co-ordination of works to ensure timely delivery of the project including liaison with the construction team, contractors, external resources and the site FM team
* Preparation, submission and tracking of all necessary change controls
* Responsible for ensuring completion of final commissioning with support from specialist teams (external or internal) prior to handover to Operations Team
