Senior Cost Manager - Data Center
We are seeking an experienced Senior Cost Manager to support the delivery of complex data centre projects from feasibility through to completion. This is a high-profile opportunity for a commercially astute professional who can provide robust cost management, strategic advice and effective governance across major capital programmes. You will work closely with project managers, designers, contractors, consultants and client-side stakeholders to ensure that cost, value, risk and performance are effectively controlled throughout the project lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include establishing and managing project cost plans, budgets, forecasts and cash flows; developing procurement and commercial strategies; and providing accurate cost advice at each stage of design and delivery. You will lead estimating activities, review tender returns, assess variations and claims, and monitor expenditure against approved budgets. You will also oversee change control processes, maintain clear cost reporting, identify potential savings and challenge assumptions to protect value without compromising safety, quality or programme requirements. A key part of the role will be ensuring that cost information is transparent, timely and aligned with project objectives.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cost management, quantity surveying or commercial management within construction, infrastructure, mission-critical or similarly complex environments. Experience delivering data centre projects, including knowledge of critical systems, technical services and phased construction, would be highly advantageous. You should be confident managing multiple workstreams, influencing senior stakeholders and working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Strong analytical, negotiation and communication skills are essential, together with a thorough understanding of contracts, procurement routes, risk management and project controls. A relevant degree or professional qualification, such as RICS or equivalent, is desirable. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to technically challenging projects while helping establish consistent commercial standards and best practice across a growing programme.
