This role offers the opportunity to take technical leadership on complex data centre projects while mentoring teams and supporting business growth within a collaborative, multi‑disciplinary consulting environment.

The Opportunity

As the ICT - Data Centre Lead, you will be responsible for the technical leadership, coordination and delivery of ICT engineering services across a range of data centre and critical infrastructure projects.
