Part-time Board Appointment
We’re proud to be working with a pioneering company at a pivotal moment in its journey. With a proven track record in solar and battery storage, the business is now pivoting towards developing sustainable, high-performance data centres powered by behind-the-meter renewable energy.
As part of this strategic evolution, we’re seeking an experienced Non-Executive Director (NED) to join the Board and provide independent, strategic, and technical oversight - helping shape the design, development, and delivery of a new generation of efficient, future-proofed data centre assets.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Oversight: Guide the development of a data centre portfolio that aligns with long-term business goals and cutting-edge renewable integration.
Technical & Operational Advisory: Provide high-level input on data centre design, efficiency, scalability, and sustainability - particularly around M&E infrastructure, power systems, and behind-the-meter solutions.
Risk & Governance: Identify strategic blind spots and advise on governance frameworks and risk mitigation in this new area of operation.
Market & Technology Insight: Monitor data centre industry trends, emerging technologies (e.g., automation, AI, edge computing), and regulatory shifts - translating insights into strategic action.
Stakeholder Engagement: Support effective communication with senior leadership and investors on technical and operational matters related to the data centre strategy.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Proven Data Centre Expertise: Significant experience in the design, construction, or operation of Tier II–IV data centres, ideally with exposure to renewable or hybrid power integration.
Operational Transition Experience: Demonstrated success supporting organisations as they pivot into new, capital-intensive and technically complex markets.
Board-Level Leadership: Previous NED, advisory, or C-suite experience within infrastructure, energy, or technology organisations.
Strong Commercial Acumen: Ability to assess project viability, advise on capital investment strategies, and guide scalable, cost-effective growth.
Knowledge of Clean Energy: Understanding of renewable energy technologies (solar, BESS, CHP, etc.) and their application in data centre environments.
Key Attributes
- Strategic thinker with strong business judgment
- Independent and confident advisor who constructively challenges the Board
- Passionate about sustainability and innovative infrastructure
- Collaborative mindset with exceptional communication skills
- Risk-aware and forward-looking
Desirable
- Experience within the energy or utilities sector
- Familiarity with environmental impact strategy and regulatory compliance
- International or multi-market perspective on data centre trends
- Technical awareness of optimisation, automation, and AI-driven systems
This is a rare opportunity to help shape the technical and strategic roadmap of a high-growth business entering one of the world’s most dynamic sectors.
