Querétaro, Mexico - Data CenterFull-timePosted 1mo ago
About the role
On-site construction foreman for data center fit-outs and infrastructure upgrades, coordinating trades, ensuring safety and quality, and driving field execution from drawings to installed, energized capacity.
Responsibilities
- Serve as Lambda’s on-site lead for assigned data center projects. Direct daily activity across MEP contractors, low voltage and network installers, rack and integration crews, and OEM field service teams. Run daily huddles, set the day’s priorities, and confirm each crew knows its scope, sequence, and constraints.
- Oversee physical execution of white space fit-out work including rack and cabinet setting, containment, busway and branch circuit distribution, rPDU installation, cable tray, structured cabling, liquid cooling and CDU tie-ins, and airflow management. Verify installations match approved drawings and Lambda standards before work is covered or energized.
- Enforce site safety requirements, energized work permits, LOTO procedures, hot work permits, and PPE compliance. Conduct daily safety walks, stop unsafe work immediately, and lead incident and near-miss reporting with the data center provider and general contractor.
- Perform in-progress and pre-cover inspections, torque and terminations checks, labeling verification, and workmanship reviews. Build and drive punch lists to closure, rejecting non-conforming work and confirming corrections in the field.
- Deconflict overlapping trade work, sequence access to shared space and shafts, and coordinate outage and switching windows with the data center provider. Escort and manage vendor access, badging, tool and material handling, and site rules compliance.
- Receive, inspect, stage, and secure OFCI (Owner-Furnished, Contractor-Installed) equipment. Verify shipments against packing lists and submittals, document damage and shortages immediately, manage laydown and storage areas, and confirm material readiness ahead of each install window.
- Own the three-week lookahead in the field. Track daily progress against the construction schedule, flag manpower and material gaps early, and provide the Implementation Project Manager with accurate percent-complete and constraint data.
- Produce daily field reports covering manpower counts, work completed, deliveries, delays, safety observations, and photo documentation. Maintain redline markups, RFI and field observation logs, and as-built notes for turnover.
- Resolve constructability conflicts and field questions at the site level where possible. Generate clear RFIs with photos and drawing references when a design or scope decision is needed, and escalate cost, schedule, or safety impacts without delay.
- Support pre-functional checks, Level 1 through Level 4 commissioning activities, and integrated systems testing. Coordinate contractor availability for scripts, witness testing where directed, and drive open-item closure through final acceptance and handoff to Data Center Operations.
- Work closely with Network Engineering, Data Center Operations, HPC, Supply Chain, and Technical Project Management so that deployment, cabling, and hardware install activities land in the right sequence and space is turned over ready for GPU deployment.
Qualifications
- High school diploma or equivalent required. Completed trade apprenticeship, journeyman license, technical certification, or associate degree in a construction or engineering discipline strongly preferred.
- 5+ years of construction field experience, including 2+ years in a foreman, lead, or superintendent capacity.
- Direct experience with data center white space fit-out, critical facility construction, or comparable industrial and mission-critical installation work.
- Working knowledge of electrical, mechanical, and low voltage systems and installation practices, including power distribution, cooling, containment, and cabling.
- Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, submittals, and installation instructions, and to produce accurate redlines.
- OSHA 30 certification required or obtained within 90 days of hire. NFPA 70E familiarity preferred. First Aid and CPR certification a plus.
- Familiarity with commissioning processes, pre-functional checklists, and punch list closeout.
- Comfortable with field reporting tools and project platforms (e.g., Procore, Smartsheet, MS Project, Monday.com) and with mobile photo documentation.
- Able to lift, climb, work at height, and remain on foot in active construction environments for extended periods.
- Willingness to travel to and work within active construction sites (~75%), including off-hours and weekend work during critical activities.
- Committed to safety, quality, and continuous improvement in field execution practices.
