The opportunity
Vickerstock is recruiting on behalf of an international mechanical building services specialist delivering complex data centre projects in the Frankfurt / Rhine-Main region.
The business designs, manufactures and installs prefabricated mechanical systems, with an established project portfolio and further regional expansion planned.
We are seeking a qualified Installateur- und Heizungsbauermeister (SHK) to lead quality across its German projects and take ownership of aftercare on completed installations.
This role combines technical leadership, team management and practical problem-solving. You will set installation standards, oversee inspections and handover, and ensure that defects are diagnosed, rectified and closed out properly. You will also use lessons from completed projects to improve how future systems are designed, manufactured and installed.
The position offers an opportunity to build a regional quality and aftercare function, with scope for broader management responsibility as the business grows.
Your role
Reporting to the Regional Delivery Lead, you will oversee quality across live projects and manage aftercare throughout the contractual defects liability period on completed sites.
The installations include chilled water systems, pumps, valves, pipework, heat exchangers and prefabricated mechanical modules serving large-scale data centres.
Initially, approximately 60% of your time will focus on quality leadership and improvement, with 40% on aftercare and reactive work. This balance will change as projects progress through installation, commissioning and handover.
You will lead an existing quality resource and support the recruitment and development of a regional service and rectification team. Some technicians will work across both project delivery and aftercare, requiring close coordination with site management.
