We’re working with a global client delivering hyperscale data centre programmes and are looking to engage with senior-level civil engineers who can operate at a technical governance and design assurance level. This is not a traditional design role; it’s a client-side position where you’ll challenge, influence and shape major infrastructure across multiple regions.
What you’ll be doing:
- Acting as technical authority for civil engineering across large-scale data centre programmes
- Reviewing and challenging consultant designs across utilities, drainage, earthworks and infrastructure
- Driving design assurance and governance from concept through to construction
- Coordinating multidisciplinary teams to ensure fully integrated, buildable solutions
- Providing input into constructability, risk and programme delivery
Key areas of expertise:
- Underground utilities (drainage, water, fibre, HV/MV/LV networks)
- Earthworks strategies (cut & fill, ground improvement, sequencing)
- External works, roads, logistics and site infrastructure
- Multidisciplinary coordination across civil, MEP and design teams
What we’re looking for:
- Strong background in civil engineering design, design management or technical assurance
- Experience on complex infrastructure / mission-critical / large-scale projects
- Proven ability to review, challenge and influence consultant design
- Strong stakeholder engagement across clients, consultants and contractors
- Experience using ACC or similar design management platforms
Why this role:
- Work on global hyperscale data centre programmes (EMEA & APAC)
- Client-side influence – shape design, don’t just deliver it
- Remote role with international exposure
- High-value, technically complex infrastructure
