Director – Lead, Data Centers

Tyréns UK is strengthening its position in the data centre market and is seeking a Director-level Sector Lead with established industry relationships and a strong track record of converting those relationships into sustainable, profitable growth. This is a senior commercial leadership role with clear accountability for sales, order intake, revenue, margin and pipeline development.

The Sector Lead will build and lead an integrated Tyréns UK data centre proposition, bringing together the complementary expertise of Tyréns Hilson Moran and Tyréns AKT. The combined offer spans power and utilities, MEP engineering, structural and civil engineering, sustainability, environmental planning, embodied carbon, infrastructure, technical due diligence, refurbishment and operational optimisation.

The role will position Tyréns UK as a strategic adviser across the full data centre lifecycle, from site selection, capacity enablement and early feasibility through design, delivery, refurbishment and operation. By connecting multidisciplinary expertise, the Sector Lead will help clients address power, planning, environmental, infrastructure and engineering constraints early enough to improve investment and delivery decisions.

This is primarily a commercial and relationship-led role rather than a hands‑on design position. The successful candidate will nevertheless bring sufficient delivery experience in a relevant specialist discipline to engage credibly with clients and technical teams. THM’s portfolio includes work for IBM, Global Switch, the Bank of England and BCS across new‑build and refurbishment projects, providing a strong platform from which to grow in the colocation and hyperscale markets.
