Mechanical and Electrical Contracts Manager – Data Centre

Data Centres, it seems like over the last 2 decades they have come out of nowhere to become one of the largest, and most recession proof, construction sectors in the world. They are also the buzz word for excellence, those who have worked on them are seen as some of the hardest working and technically capable people in the industry.

Normally people trying to enter this sector get blocked with the usual “we need people with previous data centre experience” but in this instance the company has all the specialist sector knowledge they need to allow candidates from a broader background of experience to join the team and still deliver a quality service.
