Principal Data Center Facilities Development Manager

** Job Description*
* The  
** Principal, Data Center Telecommunications Infrastructure Delivery (IC5)
** is a senior individual contributor responsible for the  
** technical and commercial delivery oversight
** of low-voltage systems across some of  
** OCI's largest data center campuses** . This role blends deep domain expertise with execution leadership to ensure  
** bulk fiber, structured cabling, and network telecom construction,
** delivered by colocation providers and installation partners; meets OCI's  
** global standards** , and is completed  
** on time, within budget, and to the highest quality** .

Reporting to the  
** Vice President of Data Center Delivery** , you own delivery excellence end-to-end:  
** design coordination and review, installation execution oversight, change order management, cost/schedule tracking, testing/commissioning readiness, certification, and turnover** . You lead executive-level site walks, validate that construction aligns to  
** owner design intent
** and applicable industry standards, and drive robust  
** QA/QC programs
** across all low-voltage activities. You also oversee the creation, review, and maintenance of critical delivery documentation, including  
** design review packages, commissioning plans, acceptance criteria, and issue/problem-resolution papers** .

As the primary point of contact between OCI and colocation providers and cabling partners, you set clear accountability, escalate risks early, and drive cross-functional alignment to resolve delivery blockers. You participate in  
** vendor selection, contract negotiation, and ongoing performance management
** for contractors and suppliers, ensuring compliance with contract terms and adherence to approved designs and specifications. You continuously identify systemic gaps in  
** risk identification and mitigation** , and lead organization-wide initiatives that improve consistency, efficiency, predictability, and quality across programs-supporting rack-level deployments that include  
** networking and structured cabling**  (and associated infrastructure interfaces required for GPU-ready buildouts).
