Senior Programme Manager to lead infrastructure improvement projects across a global data centre estate throughout EMEA, working directly within live, operational data centres.
Working closely with Operations, engineering and commercial stakeholders, you will manage multiple concurrent projects in mission-critical environments where operational continuity, safety and risk management are paramount. Projects may include electrical power distribution, HVAC and cooling, security systems and server infrastructure upgrades.
You will oversee end-to-end delivery, from initial assessment and scope development through procurement, implementation, commissioning and handover, ensuring projects meet agreed cost, schedule, quality and safety requirements.
This is a technical programme delivery role in live, operational environments — not facilities management or reactive maintenance.

Deliver complex upgrades within live data centres, minimising disruption and maintaining operational continuity.

Proven experience delivering infrastructure upgrades in live operational environments, where business continuity and safety are essential.
