The key point is that this person needs to understand how the MEP infrastructure surrounding and supporting the white space is designed, coordinated, procured and built, rather than being a white-space specialist.
Key responsibilities
- Lead and coordinate MEP activities during pre-construction and early construction.
- Review MEP designs from a constructability, sequencing and delivery perspective.
- Understand the dependencies between civil works, structure, building services and MEP packages.
- Develop and challenge construction sequencing, installation strategy and programme.
- Coordinate with designers, general contractors, MEP contractors, utilities and specialist subcontractors.
- Ensure MEP packages are sufficiently developed before mobilisation and construction.
- Identify potential design clashes, programme risks, interfaces and buildability issues before they impact site.
- Support tendering, contractor selection, technical evaluations and package procurement.
- Ensure compliance with German construction regulations, standards, permitting requirements and local authority requirements.
- Provide strong local knowledge of the Frankfurt/Hesse data centre construction market, including contractors, suppliers and relevant stakeholders.
The ideal person would have:
- 10+ years' MEP construction experience, ideally including major data centre projects.
- Strong knowledge of the pre-construction → construction transition.
- A practical understanding of how an MEP installation is actually delivered on site — not simply design management.
- Experience coordinating electrical, mechanical, civil, structural and architectural interfaces.
- Strong knowledge of German regulations, VOB, DIN standards, permitting and construction practices.
- Existing relationships with MEP contractors, subcontractors and suppliers in the Frankfurt market.
- Fluent/native-level German.
- Experience with large international contractors would be highly attractive.
