Site Logistics Supervisor – Milan Data Centre Project Some construction roles are vague. This isn’t one of them. If you like keeping chaos at bay, knowing exactly where everything is going, and making sure 50 different subcontractors don’t all try to deliver at 9:00am on Tuesday “because that’s when they always deliver” — keep reading. We’re building a major data centre in Milan. Big project, tight footprint, lots of moving parts. We need a Site Logistics Manager who can keep the whole thing flowing without the place turning into a car park with cranes. This isn’t just about organising storage space (though you’ll do plenty of that).
It’s about being the nerve centre of site movement — materials, deliveries, vertical transport, access, security, the whole lot. If you enjoy orchestrating a site so well that people think you’ve got psychic powers, you’ll fit right in. What You’ll Actually Be Doing (Not the fluffy version — the real version.)
- Mapping, defining, and controlling all on‑site and near‑site storage areas.
- Deciding who gets what storage space, based on project priorities — not who shouts the loudest.
- Running the web‑based delivery booking system like a small but efficient airport.
- Making sure deliveries only happen when there’s somewhere to put the stuff.
- Working closely with subcontractors and security so deliveries arrive when they should, not when they feel like it.
- Creating and enforcing a call‑off system that keeps everything flowing and doesn’t block access routes.
- Keeping track of vertical transportation plant capacity so cranes and hoists don’t sit idle while materials sit in the wrong place.
- Helping run the weekly delivery coordination meeting — and owning every action item that comes out of it.
- Acting as the link between security at the perimeter and the controlled chaos inside the hoarding line.
- Coordinating with the Appointed Person/Crane Coordinator to keep lifts smooth and efficient.
- Handling accommodation and vehicle requirements for site employees — leases, trackers, troubleshooting, the works.
In short:
You’ll be the person who knows what’s coming, when it’s coming, how it’s getting in, where it’s going, who’s moving it, and what happens next. What You’ll Need To Bring
- Experience managing logistics on a live construction site (data centre experience a premio).
- A tolerance for complexity — and an intolerance for disorganisation.
- Strong communication skills (some might call this “telling people no” politely).
- The ability to think three steps ahead because everything on this site affects everything else.
- A mindset that treats logistics as the circulatory system of a project — not an afterthought.
What You’ll Get
- The chance to run logistics for a flagship hyperscale data centre in one of Europe’s most dynamic tech hubs.
- A team that actually understands why logistics matters.
- A project leadership group that wants someone who runs a system, not someone who waits for instructions.
- And yes, competitive salary, accommodation support, and the usual big‑project benefits.
If This Sounds Like You… Apply. We don’t need a 5-page cover letter. Just enough to show you know how modern construction logistics works and that you’re the kind of person subcontractors won’t want to cross.
