At Designer Group, we’re proud to be a leading international mechanical & electrical engineering contractor. With over 1,000 talented professionals across Europe, Africa, and South America, our mission is simple: deliver world-class engineering solutions that drive sustainability, innovation, and excellence.
We’re now hiring an experienced Electrical Construction Manager to join our expanding data centre team in Vienna. You’ll be based on one of the most high-profile technology projects in Europe — a €50M+ hyperscale data centre for a global tech client. This is a senior site-based role that will see you leading electrical delivery across multiple phases of construction and commissioning.
What you’ll do
* Lead site-based electrical construction activities from initial install to commissioning.
* Manage, coordinate, and supervise site operatives and subcontractors.
* Drive programme adherence, quality control, and health & safety compliance.
* Oversee material and plant logistics to ensure timely site delivery.
* Conduct weekly toolbox talks, safety inductions, and ensure method statement compliance.
* Interface with clients, general contractors, and other trade leads on project coordination.
* Collaborate with our contracts and commercial teams to ensure performance, timelines, and cost targets are met.
* Mentor apprentices and junior site staff, supporting ongoing professional development.
* Drive technical resolution of issues, reviewing drawings and ensuring installations are fit for purpose.
What you’ll need
* 5+ years’ experience in electrical construction management, ideally with a Tier 1 contractor or in data centre/pharma/mission-critical environments.
* Proven track record delivering large-scale electrical packages including LV, ELV, containment, power distribution and associated control systems.
* Strong ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, including CAD/BIM/3D models (Navisworks experience a plus).
* Fluent English required. German language skills are an advantage but not essential.
* Excellent communication, leadership and coordination skills across multi-disciplinary teams.
* Eligibility to work in Austria (EU work permit or citizenship required).
