Site Acceptance Manager, Data Centers (Norway or Portugal)

We’re looking for a Site Acceptance Manager with exceptional planning, technical and stakeholder leadership skills to own the transition of our self-build data centre projects from construction into live operations. Reporting to the Senior Director of Deployment, you’ll plan, oversee and manage site acceptance end-to-end – from commissioning readiness and witness testing through to the formal handover of a complete, safe and fully documented facility to our operational teams.

You’re comfortable leading at the interface between construction, commissioning and operations, making sound decisions under programme pressure and with incomplete information.

You’re comfortable influencing without authority – holding contractors, commissioning agents, vendors and internal teams to an agreed acceptance standard.

You have strong technical grounding in critical facility systems (power, cooling, controls and life safety) and can quickly get to the root of a defect or failed test.

You’re a meticulous planner who is extremely organised and diligent, with a disciplined approach to documentation, punch lists and evidence of acceptance.
