VP Technical | Data Centre Campus Development | We’re hiring a VP Technical for a client who develop data centre campuses and take sites from screening to powered, ready-to-build land. The role is simple to describe and hard to do. You own the technical definition that makes a site sellable. This is not about designing a building. It’s about the envelope: buildable MW, density range, cooling approach, setbacks, substation position, fibre routes. Get it right and a permit gets granted and a buyer can underwrite the deal. Get it wrong and the site stalls. What you’ll do * Write the basis of design for every site * Act as owner’s engineer. Write the brief, challenge the consultants, sign off the output * Make sure every site has a test fit and a feasibility study * Hold the line on design freeze until there is a named customer or a final investment decision * Be the technical counterpart on the energy island,



turning data centre load profiles into specifications * Build the technical guidelines and templates so no site starts from a blank sheet * Oversee the enabling works to power-ready * Back the development-to-delivery gate and investment committee with technical budget and schedule * Work side by side with Development, and lead a small team including the data centre design manager and the construction manager What you bring * Owner-side data centre design lead experience at a colocation or hyperscale developer, or a top-tier consultancy lead who has moved client-side and carried budget accountability * A strong MEP background. * At least two data centre campuses taken from concept to a permitted, priced design * Deep understanding of high-density compute and advanced cooling, and the appetite to introduce new technology with limited precedent * European permitting exposure * A degree in mechanical, electrical or a related engineering discipline. Chartered status or an advanced degree is a plus * Fluent English. Other European languages are a plus #J-18808-Ljbffr
