Electrical Project Manager - Data Centre Construction

Position: Electrical Project Manager

Location: Frankfurt, Germany

Project: Large-scale Data Centre Construction

Contract Type: Permanent

The Role

On behalf of our client, we are seeking a highly professional and commercially minded Electrical Project Manager to take full responsibility for the delivery of the electrical package on a major data centre project in Frankfurt. This role focuses on the high-level management of Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV) systems, with a specific emphasis on the efficient delivery of containment and cable pulling workstreams.

The successful candidate will oversee the project lifecycle from initial planning through to commissioning and handover. While we are prioritising local individuals in the Frankfurt area, we are also eager to speak with qualified professionals from the UK and Europe who possess the relevant data centre experience and are willing to relocate.

Key Responsibilities

Project Delivery: Take full ownership of the electrical programme, ensuring MV/LV containment and cabling works are delivered on time and within the agreed budget.

Financial Management: Oversee project costs, including procurement, variations, and monthly valuations, ensuring maximum commercial efficiency.

Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact for the client, consultant, and main contractor regarding electrical progress and technical queries.

Resource Planning: Manage and allocate internal labour and subcontractors to meet project milestones and technical requirements.

Risk Management: Identify potential project risks early-including long-lead equipment delays or site constraints-and implement robust mitigation strategies.

Quality & Safety: Ensure the project adheres to the highest standards of Health & Safety and Quality Assurance, supporting the Site and QAQC teams as required.

Requirements

Experience: Proven experience as an Electrical Project Manager or Senior Project Engineer on large-scale industrial projects (Data Centres, Power Generation, or Large Infrastructure).

Technical Expertise: Comprehensive understanding of MV/LV electrical systems, project scheduling software, and large-scale cable management.

Qualifications: A degree in Electrical Engineering or a relevant professional qualification (e.g., PMP, Prince2, or equivalent industry experience).

Communication: Fluency in English is essential; the ability to communicate in German is highly desirable for local stakeholder engagement.

Right to Work: Must have the legal right to work within the EU.
