Data Centre MEP Project Management experience is essential

Due to significant project wins, a leading global, multi-disciplinary data centre consultancy is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead major data centre developments in Doha, Qatar.

This is a very outward, client facing role, therefore excellent presentation & communication skills are essential. Strong cost / commercial and risk management expertise is essential along with a proven track record in PMC / Client rep roles.
