Electrical Project Manager - Data Centre in Slough, Berkshire

Electrical Project Manager | Data Hall Fit-Out

West Drayton / Slough / Hayes | Site based | Two opportunities
£75,000–£100,000 + car allowance, bonus and private medical insurance | Or £500 per day on contract

Take the lead on electrical delivery for a data centre fit-out programme across West Drayton, Slough and Hayes. You’ll own an allocated project or package from installation planning through energisation, commissioning and handover, with the authority to make day-to-day decisions on site.

Why this project?

You’ll lead the work that gets a data hall ready for service. That means coordinating how power gets to the racks, how cooling equipment is supplied and controlled, and what needs to be ready before the commissioning team can test the hall. If you enjoy getting into the detail with engineers and subcontractors and then seeing the systems you’ve delivered go live, this is a role where you can do both.

It’s also a chance to broaden your MEP experience while staying close to your electrical discipline. You’ll own the electrical programme and work directly with mechanical and controls teams, with scope to build experience around high-density cooling and liquid cooling interfaces.

What you’ll be doing

• Set the electrical installation sequence and keep labour, equipment and access aligned with data hall milestones.

• Lead electrical supervisors and specialist subcontractors across packages such as containment, cabling, busbar and final power distribution.

• Coordinate power supplies and controls interfaces with mechanical teams, including cooling equipment where it forms part of your package.

• Resolve design and installation queries, track long-lead equipment and manage changes with the commercial team.

• Plan electrical inspections, energisation and phased commissioning. Drive snagging and close out the records needed for handover.

What you’ll bring

You’ve delivered a substantial electrical package as an Electrical Project Manager or an electrically biased MEP Project Manager. You can explain how you kept the programme moving, managed specialist subcontractors and took the installation through testing and handover.

Data hall fit-out experience is particularly relevant. Experience delivering critical power on another complex site is also relevant, especially if you’ve coordinated electrical, mechanical and controls teams through commissioning. A relevant electrical qualification or apprenticeship is expected. SMSTS and a relevant site management card would be useful.
