We are seeking a Leading Civil Design Manager to oversee the civil design delivery of major data centre developments from concept through construction. This senior role will provide technical leadership across infrastructure, earthworks, drainage, utilities, roads, pavements, external works and associated site development packages. You will establish design strategies, coordinate multidisciplinary inputs and ensure that solutions are safe, buildable, sustainable, commercially viable and aligned with programme requirements.

Key responsibilities will include managing civil design teams, consultants and specialist contractors; reviewing scopes, specifications, calculations, drawings and models; and ensuring that design outputs meet applicable codes, standards and client requirements. You will lead design reviews, value engineering workshops, risk assessments and technical assurance activities, while identifying and resolving design interfaces across structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical and security disciplines. The role will also involve supporting procurement, planning and construction teams, responding to technical queries, monitoring progress against agreed milestones and maintaining clear records of design decisions, changes and approvals.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience managing civil design on complex infrastructure, industrial, mission-critical or data centre projects, ideally in a fast-paced, international environment. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering is required, together with professional registration or a recognised industry accreditation where applicable. You should be confident interpreting technical information, challenging design assumptions and communicating effectively with stakeholders at all levels. Experience with multidisciplinary coordination, design management systems, BIM processes, relevant civil engineering software and construction-stage delivery will be highly valued. Strong leadership, organisation, commercial awareness and problem-solving skills are essential, along with a commitment to quality, health and safety, environmental performance and continuous improvement.
