Tracking long-lead equipment and manufacturing constraints, including generators, UPS systems, switchgear, transformers and cooling equipment . Supporting the procurement of consultants and other professional services. Providing clear weekly reporting on procurement progress, commercial risks and decisions requiring client input. Capturing lessons learned and helping improve procurement practices across future projects and regions.

You'll ideally bring: 10+ years' experience within construction, engineering, procurement or commercial management. A strong track record of taking tenders from RFP through to contract award . Experience gained with a PMC, main contractor, hyperscale operator, colocation provider or similar organisation. Previous exposure to data centres, mission-critical facilities or other technically complex projects . Strong knowledge of construction, MEP and long-lead equipment procurement.

International procurement experience across multiple countries, ideally within EMEA and/or APAC . Excellent commercial analysis, bid levelling and Excel capability. Previous leadership or management experience. The right to work in the UK . MCIPS, MRICS or an equivalent professional qualification would be advantageous, as would experience with procurement platforms such as Ariba or Coupa. Additional language skills relevant to EMEA or APAC markets would also be beneficial. Why Consider This Opportunity? This is a chance to work on major hyperscale data centre programmes while representing the client at a critical point in the project lifecycle. You'll gain exposure to projects across the UK, EMEA and APAC , working directly with senior leadership and influencing how significant construction and equipment packages are procured and awarded.
