Precon / FEP Lead

About The Role

The Precon / FEP Lead owns the front end of Volta's pipeline the stage where sites become projects. You will take each opportunity from feasibility through front-end planning and into execution readiness, so that when a project team mobilises, it inherits a clear scope, a credible baseline and a delivery strategy that works.

Sitting between development and delivery, you will coordinate design, procurement, project controls and DSX input through the earliest phases, and run the stage gates that decide when a project is ready to build. As the pipeline grows, this role sets the pattern every future Volta project follows.

What You Will Be Doing

• Lead feasibility and front-end planning for new data centre projects

• Develop project execution strategies covering contracting approach, sequencing, modularisation and site logistics

• Build early cost and schedule baselines with the project controls function

• Coordinate early design development, long-lead procurement strategy and permitting inputs

• Run constructability and prefabrication reviews with the DSX team

• Own stage-gate governance from concept through to execution readiness

• Prepare structured handover packs so incoming project teams mobilise without losing momentum

• Support site due diligence and selection with delivery insight

What You Bring

• Data centre experience is essential, with a strong front-end or preconstruction focus

• A track record taking major capital projects through FEED or FEL stage gates into execution

• Working knowledge across design, procurement, cost and planning disciplines

• Experience shaping contracting and execution strategies for complex builds

• Strong commercial and risk judgement at the early project stages

• Clear, structured communication with technical and executive audiences

• Willingness to travel as the pipeline develops
