Lee Howard

Specialised in:

Data centre recruitment across construction and engineering, supporting mission-critical hiring for global data centre projects. I partner with hyperscale operators, colocation providers, engineering consultancies, and technology-led organisations, delivering recruitment solutions across the full data centre lifecycle, from design and build through to engineering and operations.

Background and experience:

I connect leading Construction and Engineering professionals with global Data Centre projects where delivery, reliability, and access to specialist talent are critical. I work closely with organisations delivering complex data centre construction, engineering, and operational projects across international markets.

My experience and deep knowledge of the global Data Centre market have enabled me to build a strong, trusted talent network across construction, engineering, operations, and critical infrastructure disciplines. I specialise in supporting hyperscale data centres, colocation providers, and engineering-led data centre developments, helping clients overcome skills shortages and secure high-impact professionals.

I thrive in the data centre sector because it sits at the centre of digital infrastructure, supporting cloud computing, connectivity, and future-focused technologies. It is a fast-moving, highly technical environment where mission-critical recruitment and long-term workforce planning play a key role in successful project delivery.

I take a consultative and transparent approach to data centre recruitment, taking the time to understand project timelines, technical requirements, business objectives, and organisational culture. Whether supporting urgent hiring for live data centre builds or developing long-term workforce strategies, my focus is on delivering reliable recruitment solutions and building lasting client partnerships.

At Eligo, I partner with hyperscale operators, colocation providers, engineering consultancies, and technology partners, supporting talent acquisition across the full data centre lifecycle — from design and construction through to engineering, operations, and central support functions.
