Job Description
Technical Design Lead - Data Centre Projects
AECOM has a multidisciplinary team working with Data Centre clients across both Hyperscale and Colocation and also Enterprise on projects across Europe. These projects are led by our specialist data centre team based in the UK in conjunction with our local teams across Europe who ensure localisation and permitting delivery, but also other global design teams providing resources and capability to the projects.
We are seeking someone with a strong technical background in the DC sector who can lead multi-disciplinary architectural and engineering projects at a Technical Design Lead level but also establish, build, and maintain strong relationships with key clients through successful project delivery and a trusted Client Account Manager (CAM) approach.
This role requires managing multiple projects simultaneously, identifying potential issues, and troubleshooting before they materialize to ensure timely delivery of outputs to meet client demands. The candidate must ensure the right level and capability of resources are deployed on a project, be involved in bidding and pricing of new opportunities, and ensure that those opportunities deliver to the as-sold fees and margins. Understanding the internal commercial and contractual governance for key client projects is essential, ensuring compliance with internal processes, managing risk to AECOM, and ensuring profitable delivery.
The location of the role is flexible within the UK/Ireland; however, it is important that it is local to one of our hubs of expertise – London, Dublin, Belfast, and Manchester. The role will require travel within the UK&I and Europe.
The candidate must excel in multidisciplinary team collaboration and technical design content. Ideally, they will have DC experience, with skills in design management, digital technologies, and design workflow. They will be expected to manage and take accountability for design activities and the production of design information across all DC disciplines while maintaining the quality expected throughout these projects. The candidate must manage delivery to demanding timelines and programs with immovable deadlines.
Excellent communication skills are essential as you’ll be working closely with the multi-disciplinary design teams, clients, and contractors in the UK and Europe.

1. Technical Design Lead on a portfolio of projects supporting Project Managers
2. Covering a multidisciplinary Team of CSA & MEP across UK&I and Europe
3. Assisting bids commercially and technically for multi-disciplinary opportunities with key clients
4. Ensuring all internal governance is followed both at bid stage and throughout project delivery
