MEP Commercial Manager / Divisional MEP Commercial Lead – Data Centre Projects (Europe)

Location: UK / Europe (Hybrid)

Salary: £100k – £130k

I’m currently working with a highly regarded and genuinely dynamic MEP contractor to appoint a Divisional MEP Commercial Lead to support their growing European Data Centre portfolio.

This is a senior, leadership-level position overseeing €10m–€25m MEP packages across major hyperscale and mission-critical projects.

The Opportunity

This role offers something rarely seen in the market — true flexibility and autonomy.

European project work can often come with rigid and demanding rotation structures. This position is deliberately different.

  • Flexible travel model – typically 1 week per month in Europe (more or less depending on your preference)
  • Hybrid working when in the UK
  • Full autonomy over how you structure your time and project involvement
  • A business that trusts its senior people to operate effectively without unnecessary oversight

The Role

  • Lead the commercial function across multiple European Data Centre projects
  • Manage and mentor a team of Assistant to Intermediate Quantity Surveyors
  • Oversee full commercial lifecycle including procurement, variations, reporting and final accounts
  • Work closely with senior operational and project teams across Europe
  • Contribute strategically to the continued growth of the division

The Package

  • Flights covered to and from Europe
  • Own apartment provided (not shared accommodation)
  • Per diem allowance for time abroad (Daily living allowance)
  • Bonus structure
  • Long-term progression into a key divisional leadership role

The Business

A well known MEP contractor with a strong and diverse portfolio across:

  • European Data Centres
  • Commercial, Residential, Life Sciences and Education schemes
  • Multiple specialist service lines and revenue streams

They are known for delivering complex projects while maintaining a pragmatic, people-first approach internally — something that is reflected in the flexibility offered within this role.
