Data Engineering Vice President

Vice President of Engineering
Regular travel to Scandinavia | Competitive Package

We’ve partnered with one of Europe’s most dynamic and fast-scaling data centre developers to appoint a Vice President of Engineering, a rare opportunity to move from a global platform into a role where you can shape, lead, and build at pace with direct executive impact.

This business is values-led and future-focused, combining deep technical capability with a clear commitment to respect, innovation, and passion . It’s a culture built on action, trust, and energy: low politics, high impact. They’re looking for a leader who shares their belief that great engineering sits at the heart of great infrastructure, and who’s ready to help deliver that vision across Europe with a focus on Scandinavia.

This is an opportunity to take your experience from a hyperscale environment or developer setting and apply it in a more agile, empowered leadership context: building a function from the ground up, driving platform growth, and influencing strategic decisions at the highest level.

Build and lead a high-performing, cross-regional engineering function.
Own the full design and technical lifecycle — from concept to commissioning.
Drive best-in-class standards across all engineering disciplines (design, CX, OFCI, delivery).
Contribute directly to platform strategy and long-term development planning.

Leadership experience in data centre engineering, ideally within a hyperscale or developer environment.
Hands-on mindset — comfortable building from scratch and navigating complexity.
Willingness to travel regularly (especially in the first 12 months to embed across teams).

Step out of the silo - full ownership of engineering, with influence across the business.
Flexible location - work from anywhere in Europe, with regular international travel.
