We’re looking for people who put their innovation to work to advance our success – and their own. Join an organization that ensures a more secure world through connecting and protecting our customers with inventive electrical solutions.

The Project Manager oversees the deployment of the company’s high-density cooling and intelligent PDU solutions in client data centers across Europe. This role is accountable for delivering projects on time, within budget, and with high customer satisfaction.

It involves detailed planning, coordination of internal and external resources, on-site supervision of installation activities, and proactive issue resolution. In this role, you will be the bridge between the customer, the company’s teams, and third-party contractors to ensure a smooth implementation of the secondary-loop cooling systems.

Project Planning & Initiation:

+ Upon project kick-off (typically after contract signature), develop a comprehensive project plan outlining all tasks, timeline, and responsible parties

+ Define the scope and objectives clearly and conduct kickoff meetings with internal teams (engineering, manufacturing, logistics) and any external contractors to establish roles and expectations.

+ Ensure all necessary permits or site access arrangements are accounted for in advance.

Resource & Schedule Management:

+ Coordinate the manufacturing and delivery schedule of HDLC equipment (CDUs, racks, PDUs) with the company’s supply chain to align with the installation timeline

+ Book and manage field resources – for example, scheduling certified installation partners for plumbing and electrical work on-site during specified windows

+ Maintain a master schedule and track progress daily, adjusting tasks as needed to accommodate any delays or accelerations, and communicate changes promptly to all stakeholders.

Budget Tracking & Reporting:

+ Manage the project budget, which includes equipment costs, labor, travel, and contingency for any unexpected work

+ Track expenditures and labor hours against the budget plan and approve contractor invoices or change orders in line with contractual terms. If additional costs arise (e.g. due to scope changes or site complications), prepare budget impact analyses and get necessary approvals from management and the customer

+ Keep the customer informed with periodic progress reports and budget status updates, building trust through transparency.

On-Site Coordination & Supervision:

+ Be on-site (or ensure a qualified site manager is present) during critical installation phases

+ Coordinate the activities of various crews – mechanical installers laying out piping and mounting cooling units, electrical teams wiring the PDUs and pump units, and IT teams installing servers – to prevent conflicts and downtime

+ Ensure all work is performed safely and adheres to the data center’s protocols. Verify that the installation follows the design documents; for instance, check that pipe routing and valve placements match the plan and that power cables are correctly rated and labeled

+ Serve as the primary point of contact for the customer’s site manager, providing updates and handling any requests on-site.

Quality Assurance, Testing & Handover:

+ Once installation is complete, oversee the commissioning process. Arrange for a factory-trained field engineer to conduct equipment startup, calibrate sensors, and run initial test cycles

+ Supervise integrated testing – such as ensuring the CDU communicates with the building management system, and that failover scenarios (pump redundancy, power fail scenarios) are tested

+ Address any deficiencies or snags by assigning tasks to the appropriate team (e.g. have installers fix a leaking joint or electricians re-check a PDU feed)

+ Upon successful commissioning, lead the handover meeting with the customer: walk them through the installed system, review the training documents, and ensure they sign off on acceptance

+ Document the project closure with lessons learned and archive all project documents for future reference.

YOU HAVE:

+ Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Project Management; PMP certification or similar is a plus

+ Ideally, 5+ years managing complex technical installations, preferably in data center or critical infrastructure environments

+ Experience with cooling/HVAC or electrical installation projects strongly preferred

+ Excellent project management skills (scheduling, budgeting, risk management), strong leadership and communication abilities, and familiarity with data center safety and operational standards

+ Ability to travel within Europe to project sites as the need arises.

+ Fluent in English; proficiency in other European languages is advantageous for local site coordination.
