We're looking for an experienced Technical Contract Manager to oversee operations at a high-profile data centre in Northolt. This is a rare opportunity to join a global leader in facility and data centre management, working with some of the most advanced systems in the industry.

About the Role

As the Technical Contract Manager, you'll take ownership of the local Change Management and Quality Control processes, providing strategic leadership to ensure plant and equipment maintenance exceeds client expectations. You'll drive the implementation of industry best practices, manage on-site technical teams, and act as the key interface between engineering operations and the client.

This is a hands-on leadership role that requires a strong mechanical and electrical background, deep understanding of critical environments, and a passion for delivering operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all aspects of technical operations across the site, from plant maintenance to incident response.
• Manage contract performance-financial, operational, and service quality.
• Standardise and enhance health & safety procedures in line with corporate and site-specific protocols.
• Develop and manage the site's asset lifecycle program and drive condition-based maintenance strategies.
• Coordinate the rollout of operational processes including BMS, EPMS, UPS, and CMMS platforms.
• Drive training programs, performance reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives across site personnel and vendors.
• Ensure compliance with change management and critical environment risk management methodologies.
• Work closely with stakeholders to align site operations with KPI and SLA objectives, reporting monthly performance metrics to senior leadership.

What You'll Need

• Strong background in electrical and mechanical systems within a critical environment.
• Proven experience in contract management, with a solid grasp of financial and operational performance.
• Track record of leading diverse technical teams, including both in-house and outsourced personnel.
• Working knowledge of compliance, statutory regulations, and industry certifications.
• Ability to manage complex projects, prioritise under pressure, and act decisively in critical situations.
• Familiarity with data centre standards and a passion for maintaining uptime and operational excellence.

Why Apply?

• Join a leading name in Data Centre operations, supporting some of the world's most innovative clients.
• Be part of a high-performance culture focused on growth, safety, and excellence.
• Make a direct impact on the success of mission-critical infrastructure.
• Competitive salary and benefits package, with clear opportunities for career progression.
