Pre-Fabrication Detailing Manager – Data Centres

Location: Middlesbrough, UK
Employment Type: Full-Time
Reporting To: Project director/Construction director

CTS Group is a leading international design and build contractor specialising in the delivery of mission-critical data centre facilities across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). We combine engineering excellence, digital innovation, and advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver high-performance, sustainable, and future-ready infrastructure for hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise clients.

With a diverse workforce representing more than 40 nationalities, CTS fosters a collaborative and high-performance culture where innovation, quality, and technical excellence underpin every project. As part of our commitment to modern methods of construction, CTS continues to expand its offsite manufacturing and prefabrication capabilities, helping clients realise faster project delivery, improved quality, enhanced safety, and greater programme certainty.

As our project portfolio continues to grow, we are seeking an experienced Pre-Fabrication Detailing Lead to join our London-based Engineering and Prefabrication team.

The Pre-Fabrication Detailing Lead is responsible for leading the production of detailed manufacturing models and fabrication drawings for CTS's offsite modular and prefabricated solutions, supporting some of the most advanced data centre projects in Europe.

Working closely with Design Managers, Engineering teams, Manufacturing, Project Delivery, and specialist supply chain partners, you will ensure that all prefabricated assets are fully coordinated, manufacturable, installable, and aligned with project requirements.

This is a key leadership role within the prefabrication function, focused on driving quality, efficiency, innovation, and standardisation across CTS's expanding portfolio of modular construction solutions, including pump skids, combined distribution modules, multi-storey risers, pipework assemblies, and other mission-critical infrastructure components.

• Lead the development of detailed 3D fabrication models and manufacturing drawings for offsite prefabricated systems and modular assets.

• Produce fabrication-ready designs for pump skids, mechanical pipework modules, multi-service risers, plant room assemblies, and combined distribution modules.

• Generate piping isometrics from P&IDs and project specifications.

• Develop efficient layouts that optimise manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and operational performance.

• Ensure all designs satisfy project, manufacturing, logistics, and installation requirements.

• Create and maintain highly detailed BIM models using industry-leading design and fabrication software.

• Issue coordinated fabrication models to project teams for incorporation into federated project models.

• Manage and maintain the prefabrication content library and standard manufacturing components.

• Coordinate closely with BIM and Design teams to ensure seamless integration between design and fabrication deliverables.

• Support digital engineering initiatives and continuous improvements in modelling workflows.

• Develop and maintain CTS prefabrication standards, templates, methodologies, and Standard Methods & Procedures (SMPs).

• Drive standardisation across prefabricated products and manufacturing processes.

• Review existing designs and identify opportunities to increase offsite manufacturing, improve efficiency, reduce waste, and minimise site installation activities.

• Capture lessons learned from manufacturing, delivery, installation, and commissioning…
