About the role
Technical Program Manager responsible for the integrated delivery program for new data center builds, from site handoff through construction, commissioning, operational readiness, and turnover to Network Deployment. Serves as the single source of truth for milestones, risks, and dependencies, coordinating internal teams and external partners across site work, utilities, shell, MEP, controls, white space, inspections, and commissioning.
Responsibilities
- Own the integrated schedule from site handoff to Operations; break builds into workstreams with clear owners and milestones, and actively manage the critical path and schedule compression.
- Drive the delivery sequence from rack requirements to engineering criteria, design, plan set, permitting, construction, commissioning, and turnover for MW-scale, high-density capacity.
- Lead cross-functional execution with Real Estate, Energy and Utilities, Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management, Commissioning, Operations, Security, Finance, and Legal.
- Manage risk and governance: maintain risk registers, dependency logs, decision trackers, and schedule variance reports; surface permitting, utility, design, procurement, sequencing, and commissioning risks early.
- Escalate with facts: status, baseline vs. forecast date, variance, impact, owner, mitigation options, and decision date; lead schedule recovery when milestones slip.
- Hold partners accountable to contractual milestones, production and shipping schedules, and commercial commitments while maintaining relationships.
- Communicate to leadership through program reviews and concise, high-signal status updates.
- Deliver clean turnover: define handover criteria and ensure white space, power, cooling, controls, cable pathways, access, and documentation are ready for Network Deployment.
- Scale the function: build repeatable playbooks, dashboards, and lessons-learned loops across concurrent deployments.
- Travel (~40%) to sites to validate progress and build partner relationships.
Qualifications
- Have 7+ years in data center delivery, infrastructure or construction program management, mission-critical facilities, or large capital projects.
- Have delivered ground-up data centers or comparable mission-critical, industrial, semiconductor, or energy facilities, ideally multi-site on compressed timelines.
- Know the full lifecycle: site handoff, permitting, design, utilities, procurement, construction, MEP, controls, commissioning, and turnover.
- Run integrated schedules, critical path, dependency logs, and change control with rigor.
- Understand technical tradeoffs well enough to spot risks, ask precise questions, and escalate without owning design authority.
- Align partners, vendors, and engineering teams around shared deliverables, and bridge physical infrastructure with network and security teams.
- Make sound decisions with incomplete information under schedule pressure, and communicate status clearly to executives.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
