The Procurement Coordinator manages procurement tracking, purchase order administration, and owner-furnished equipment (OFE) coordination for the 500MW data center. This role ensures every piece of long-lead equipment and owner-supplied material is ordered on time, tracked through delivery, and received without disruption to the construction schedule.

On a 500MW data center, equipment procurement is a critical path activity from day one. Generator sets, transformers, switch gear, UPS systems, and cooling units have lead times that can exceed 18 months. If procurement is not actively managed, the construction schedule will stall waiting for equipment. The Procurement Coordinator must maintain real-time visibility into every PO and OFE item from order placement through field installation.
