In the posting’s own words
As a Regional Manager, you'll own delivery across a regional portfolio of active and upcoming projects. You'll build and lead the team of Senior Delivery Managers and third-party partners who sit on those sites, set the standards they execute to, and step in yourself where a project needs it. You are the executive-level interface to our developer partners in the region and the intake point for projects handed over from our transaction team.
What it asks for · 7
- Have [10+] years delivering data center or other mission-critical construction, including several as the owner's or GC's senior leader on a project campus
- Have led a multi-project portfolio and built the team that delivered it
- Know the end-to-end development process — entitlements and permitting, design, long-lead equipment, construction, commissioning, and handover — well enough to direct partners rather than take their word for it
- Have managed developer, GC, and third-party relationships at the executive level and can move them from arm's-length contract administration to shared urgency
- Lead through presence: you expect to be on site most of the time and to set the pace and culture of extended teams you don't directly employ
- Communicate clearly with technical and non-specialist stakeholders and hold a position when challenged
- Are comfortable with ambiguity and with owning outcomes where no process exists yet
Also a plus
- Hyperscale data center delivery experience on the owner, developer, or GC side
- Experience with the UK and continental European market — its contractors, permitting regimes, and contractual norms
- Familiarity with lease, construction, and development contract structures and how to align their incentives around speed
What the job covers
- Lead. This is a role where leadership trumps management and process. You are expected to be on the region's sites enough to shape the culture, approach, and aggressiveness that define the extended teams there — across the portfolio, not one project — and to impact outcomes in a favorable manner.
- Be a force multiplier. Hire, develop, empower, and lead the Senior Delivery Managers on those sites, and raise the skillset developers, contractors, owner's-rep partners, and key trades bring to every project in the region; plan resourcing and headcount as the portfolio grows.
- Own portfolio execution for the region — schedule, quality, and safety outcomes on every active project, measured against early-floor-access and floor-access milestones. You are empowered and have autonomy to own this regions record of performance.
- Drive ownership and influence both inside and outside contractual structures: select, scope, contract, and manage owner's-rep and project-management partners; where contracts, incentives, or culture get in the way of speed, change them, and replace partners when performance or culture slips
- Set and enforce delivery standards across projects — integrated schedule, quality requirements, change control, reporting, and tools — and validate that they are met
- Identify blockers early and clear them across developer, GC, and trade layers; step in on site where a project needs it
