You will support the delivery of development monitoring and technical due diligence commissions for lenders, investors, and funding stakeholders across the UK, Europe, and international markets. This role offers the opportunity to develop specialist data centre expertise while working on complex digital infrastructure projects.

Key responsibilities include delivering development monitoring and technical due diligence across data centre and digital infrastructure projects, reviewing project budgets, cost plans, programmes, procurement strategies, contracts, and key project documentation. You will identify and report risks relating to cost, programme, planning, utilities, procurement, quality, and delivery, with a focus on data centre-specific risks such as power, cooling, MEP integration, commissioning, and operational readiness.

You will also support client meetings, technical reviews, and business development activities. At Senior Consultant level, you will support the delivery of smaller commissions or defined workstreams.
