Program Manager, Data Center Delivery

Reports to:

SVP, Infrastructure Programs

We are seeking an experienced Program Manager, Data Center Delivery to oversee the overall execution of a large-scale, multi-year data center development and construction program.

This individual will serve as the central point of coordination across design, engineering, construction, power, cooling, procurement, commissioning, operations, vendors, and other critical work streams. The Program Manager will maintain visibility and accountability across the overall program schedule, budget, milestones, dependencies, risks, and operational readiness.

While individual Project Managers, engineering leaders, contractors, and functional teams may own specific phases or scopes of work, this role will ensure all work streams remain aligned to the overall program plan and delivery objectives.

This is a hybrid role based in Dallas, TX, requiring regular in-person collaboration with executive leadership, engineering, construction, infrastructure, and program stakeholders.

• Oversee end-to-end delivery of a large-scale data center program from planning and design through construction, commissioning, turnover, and operational readiness.
• Maintain overall accountability for program schedule, budget, milestones, dependencies, risk, quality, and delivery performance.
• Develop and maintain the integrated master program plan across multiple phases and infrastructure work streams.
• Ensure individual project schedules remain aligned with overall program milestones and business requirements.
• Identify critical-path issues, schedule conflicts, resource constraints, and cross-functional dependencies.
• Drive resolution of risks and issues that could impact overall program delivery.
• Maintain clear ownership and accountability for major milestones and deliverables.

• Establish and maintain consistent program management processes, reporting standards, and governance.
• Manage RAID logs, dependency tracking, change control, decision tracking, milestone reviews, and escalation processes.
• Conduct regular program reviews with Project Managers, engineering leaders, construction teams, contractors, and functional stakeholders.
• Track progress against baseline schedules, budgets, forecasts, and delivery commitments.
• Develop recovery plans when milestones or critical work streams begin trending off plan.

• Serve as the primary integration point across engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, procurement, supply chain, finance, technology, and commercial teams.
• Coordinate major dependencies involving electrical infrastructure, utility power, on-site generation, cooling, networking, controls, compute infrastructure, and commissioning.
• Align design completion, equipment procurement, installation, testing, commissioning, and turnover schedules.
• Partner with operations teams to ensure staffing, documentation, training, and operational readiness are incorporated into the program plan.
• Coordinate long-lead equipment, material availability, vendor capacity, and supply chain risks.
• Partner with finance on capital planning, forecasting, expenditure tracking, and budget reporting.
• Coordinate with utility providers, permitting authorities, municipalities, and other external stakeholders as required.

• Provide program-level oversight across Project Managers responsible for individual projects, phases, or infrastructure work streams.
• Integrate individual project plans into the overall program schedule.
• Identify and manage dependencies between construction, engineering, technology, and commissioning work streams.
• Facilitate coordination across contractors, engineering disciplines, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
• Support Project Managers in resolving issues that extend beyond an individual project or workstream.
• Provide program-level oversight of general contractors, specialty contractors, engineering partners, equipment vendors, and commissioning providers.
• Track vendor performance against contractual milestones, schedules, quality requirements, and program commitments.
• Identify vendor-related risks that could affect construction, commissioning, or operational readiness.
• Ensure external partners understand overall program priorities, sequencing, dependencies, and delivery expectations.
• Maintain visibility into the integrated master schedule and overall critical path.
• Monitor schedule movement, procurement timelines, construction…
