Our client, an owner-operated, multi-disciplinary German engineering consultancy with around 200 employees across seven international offices, is looking for a Senior Civil / Utilities Engineer to take full ownership on live data centre projects in the Frankfurt region
You’ll be the person who owns water, power and road connectivity from early planning through to handover, working alongside structural, geotechnical, MEP and project management teams. You’ll be shaping infrastructure strategy, coordinating with utilities and authorities, and steering the external interfaces that decide whether a campus goes live on time
This role offers ownership of a critical scope on some of the largest data centre projects in Germany, with hyperscale clients and a deep Frankfurt pipeline; second, a consultancy environment where civil, structural, MEP and permitting expertise sit together, so you’re solving problems with specialists rather than chasing them
Responsibilities:
- Manage utilities and civil infrastructure scope on data centre projects: water supply and discharge, high-voltage grid connection and road/site access.
- Lead early-stage planning, feasibility and concept design for site connectivity, including capacity, routing and constraints
- Coordinate with utility providers, grid operators, water authorities and municipal bodies to secure connections and approvals
- Manage the external infrastructure interface with the wider design team (structural, geotechnical, MEP, permitting) and with client and contractor stakeholders
- Prepare and review technical documentation, tender packages and specifications for external works and utilities
- Support technical due diligence and site selection on new campus opportunities
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the growth of the civil / infrastructure team
Skills/Must have:
- Degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline
- 6–8+ years' experience in a planning or design role
- Track record on utilities and external infrastructure: water, electricity and road connectivity
- High-voltage grid connection or heavy water infrastructure experience strongly preferred
- Background in data centres, pharma or other mission-critical / industrial environments is a strong fit
- Working knowledge of German planning and approvals processes and relevant standards
- Confident managing utility providers, authorities and multi-disciplinary project teams
- Professional working proficiency in German and English
