Position Overview

We are looking for an experienced CEO to lead and grow our Data Center business, with strong focus on winning and delivering hyperscale and mission-critical Data Center projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and lead the company’s Data Center business strategy, growth plan, and market expansion.
• Build strong relationships with hyperscale clients, cloud providers, colocation companies, consultants, developers, and key industry stakeholders.
• Lead business development activities to identify opportunities, secure meetings, develop partnerships, and win new Data Center projects.
• Oversee tendering activities including bid strategy, client requirements, technical and commercial proposals, pricing, risk review, value engineering, negotiations, and contract award.
• Ensure the company can successfully execute awarded Data Center EPC / Design-Build projects from design, procurement, construction, testing & commissioning through to final handover.
• Lead project delivery teams to ensure safety, quality, cost control, schedule compliance, client satisfaction, and project profitability.
• Take full ownership of P&L, revenue targets, budgets, forecasting, cash flow, and overall business performance.
• Build and manage a strong leadership team across business development, tendering, engineering, procurement, operations, project delivery, and commercial functions.
• Identify new markets, strategic partnerships, JV opportunities, acquisitions, and new service offerings within the Data Center sector.
• Represent the company in client meetings, industry events, conferences, and high-level business discussions.

Required Experience

• Senior executive / CEO / Business Unit Head / Managing Director experience within a Data Center, mission-critical, EPC, Design-Build, MEP, or construction organization.
• Strong experience in hyperscale Data Centers, cloud Data Centers, colocation facilities, or other mission-critical infrastructure projects.
• Proven ability to win Data Center projects through client relationships, tendering, bidding, commercial negotiations, and contract closure.
• Practical experience overseeing full project execution—not only sales or tendering—from project award until testing, commissioning, and handover.
• Strong understanding of Data Center systems such as electrical power, substations, backup power, cooling, HVAC, BMS/DCIM, ICT/ELV, fire and life-safety systems.
• Experience managing large project values, P&L, revenue growth, budgets, and profitability.
• Established executive-level network with hyperscalers, cloud providers, colocation operators, developers, consultants, and major vendors.
