This role is offered on the basis of either already living in the area, being happy to relocate, or doing a rotation (10, 4 rotation is offered). Appropriate packages (e.g. accommodation, flights, etc.) will be offered depending on the individual's situation.
The Role:
The role of the Head of Operations will be to oversee all data centre construction projects in Frankfurt for this company. Currently, there are five projects ongoing (all valued at €10m-€20m of work for this company), with more due to start this year and a pipeline of work in the region through the next 4-5 years. An office was opened in the region last year, and the successful Head of Operations will lead this office.
Prior experience in an operations role is not necessary (though would be welcome). They're looking for someone who has demonstrated themselves as an effective Project Manager / Project Director, who is looking to progress into an ops role whilst growing a team who will manage the projects in the region. This is a great opportunity to take your career in the operations direction if that interests you.
Beyond Frankfurt, the plan is for this role to transition into a European-wide role as the company is in the process of opening offices in two other countries across Europe due to the volume of work won. This would be a couple of years down the line, but there's natural progression available to take on additional responsibility over time and move into a Director of European Operations role.
The Company:
This company is a medium-large (circa 400 people) M&E contractor from Ireland who have secured work in multiple companies across Europe. They have recently opened their Frankfurt office and are in the process of opening other offices in other European countries.
The Requirements:
* There is NO requirement for prior operations management experience
* There is NO requirement to speak German (only English)
* You MUST have worked on data centre construction projects for tier 1 or tier 2 contractors
* You MUST have either a mechanical bias or experience managing mechanical work for an M&E contractor
* You MUST have the right to work in Germany
An agreement is in place with this company not to advertise salaries publicly. However, there is a salary range in place that can be disclosed verbally. If you're interested in the role, then please apply/get in touch and this will be disclosed early in the call.
