MEP Design Manager (Mechanical or Electrical)

Own the Design. Drive Innovation. Deliver Critical Infrastructure.

You’ve led complex MEP design on high-spec builds. You speak the language of consultants, contractors, and clients. And now, you’re ready to lead the charge on hyperscale data centre projects in Japan.

This is a chance to work on large-scale greenfield developments, where you’ll shape design, drive standards, and get things built the right way.

What’s on your desk:

Own the MEP design side of hyperscale data centre builds
Lead design reviews at 30/60/90 stages with contractors, tenants, and 3rd party consultants
Guide the GC and consulting engineers to deliver the Basis of Design and meet tenant specs
Validate, review, and optimise all mechanical or electrical designs end-to-end
Manage change control and ensure alignment across internal and external stakeholders
Act as the technical voice of reason in weekly design meetings
Work closely with project managers, cost and construction teams to drive timelines and budgets

Who we’re looking for:

10+ years in mechanical or electrical design for complex infrastructure (data centre experience ideal, not essential)
Solid foundation in design review, calculations, specs, and coordination with consultants
Able to read the room, lead senior discussions, and influence decisions with clarity

Why this role?

Shape major infrastructure that powers the digital world
No red tape — just a chance to lead, own, and deliver high-impact work
Work with a tight-knit team that values technical excellence and straight talk
Long project cycles (30 months) with full lifecycle exposure

If you’re ready to take the lead on MEP design at a high level and want to make a real impact in the data centre space, this is the role. Let’s talk.
