5 to 8 years in technical program management or delivery roles, with direct, hands-on ownership of data center design and construction delivery
Experience taking at least one large scale data center or multi-phase campus from design through commissioning and into service
Working fluency with stage gate delivery governance: written entry criteria, gate packages, and decision records rather than status meetings alone
Personal fluency in schedule logic at Primavera P6 grade or equivalent, critical path analysis, risk register discipline, and decision logs. You do not delegate the truth of the schedule to someone else
Working depth across data center infrastructure: power architecture (utility feeds, generators, UPS, switchgear, PDU, busway), cooling including liquid cooling for high density deployments, structured cabling and fiber plant, and commissioning level structures from factory acceptance through integrated systems testing
Demonstrated ability to hold general contractors and vendors accountable without direct authority over them
Clear, structured written and verbal communication. You escalate early, in writing, with a recommendation attached
Expect regular travel to your assigned construction site, at minimum monthly, with extended on-site presence during energization and commissioning windows. Estimated travel is 30 to 40 percent, weighted toward critical delivery milestones
CDCDP, CDCP, or equivalent formal data center certification
Experience delivering AI density whitespace: high kW per rack halls, direct liquid cooling integration, and pod to power granularity trade-offs
Hyperscale, GPU cloud, or AI infrastructure background, particularly inside an organization scaling through hypergrowth
Experience with both greenfield builds and colocation tenant deployments, including landlord interface management
Familiarity with GPU cluster deployment: rack integration, network fabric bring-up, node burn-in, and validation testing
