This role places you at the helm of environmental governance for high-scale data center construction projects across the Frankfurt region and the wider EMEA zone. You will take full ownership of the environmental narrative, moving beyond standard safety checks to lead complex permitting processes, manage ecological protections, and oversee sustainable site design. Your day-to-day involves bridging the gap between rigorous German regulatory standards and technical engineering teams to ensure infrastructure is built responsibly.
The position is vital because data centers are the backbone of the digital economy but carry significant land, energy, and water footprints. By driving biodiversity net gain, managing groundwater risks, and tracking embodied carbon, you directly mitigate the environmental impact of the digital transition. This is a chance to implement green construction practices in one of Europe’s most demanding regulatory environments.
This suits someone who pairs deep technical knowledge of Hessian environmental law with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and regulatory bodies through complex infrastructure developments.
