Data centre growth is raising the standard for senior construction leadership in Florida

Project leaders must coordinate specialist trades, manage client expectations, protect programme certainty and lead through testing, commissioning and handover. The consequences of poor coordination can be significant.

That changes the search brief. A business needs to distinguish between experience that is transferable and experience that is essential. It needs to assess how a person has performed under comparable technical, commercial and stakeholder pressure.
