This IC5-level leader owns the integrated delivery path across a complex portfolio of greenfield, expansion, and colocation programs. The role operates with broad autonomy, resolves high-impact technical and commercial tradeoffs, and aligns senior leaders and external partners around capacity commitments. Success requires deep fluency in mission-critical electrical systems, white-space infrastructure, structured cabling, fiber, network dependencies, commissioning, and operational readiness.
In this role you will provide strategic oversight and leadership for the construction of data centers by colocation providers, ensuring the completion of projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. Oversees the creation, review, and maintenance of documentation, including design review, commissioning, and problem-solving papers. Directs the implementation and oversight of quality control processes to ensure all construction activities meet design specifications and industry standards. Conducts strategic site walks and provides executive oversight and strategic leadership for the startup and commissioning phases of major data center projects. Identifies critical gaps in risk identification and mitigation and drives organizational-wide initiatives to address these gaps. Leads the role of primary point of contact between the company and colocation providers. Oversees the selection, negotiation, and management of contracts with external vendors, contractors, and suppliers, ensuring contract compliance and performance and construction activities align with the approved design plans and specifications. Oversees the installation of power, cooling, networking, and structured cabling systems.
