  • Oversee site-wide data center construction and delivery, acting as the single point of accountability for major new construction projects or significant capital improvements in existing facilities.
  • Support the development of detailed, localized designs based on programmatic design plans, driving procurement, construction, and commissioning processes.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, Construction Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10 years of experience in mission-critical facility design and construction environments.
  • 7 years of experience in leadership roles with direct reports.

  • Experience with project management.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of fast-track design-build processes and associated documents and agreements.
