Senior MEP Pre-Construction Manager – Data Centres Location: Frankfurt / Hanau Language: Fluent German & English 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. Direct experience delivering a data centre in Frankfurt/Hesse. 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.
