Design Director

Director of Design – Data Centre Projects | Texas (Hyperscale Delivery) We’re supporting a leading international contractor delivering large-scale data centre projects across Texas. They’re looking to appoint a Director of Design to take ownership of design delivery across a growing regional pipeline.
