**** Introduction
* * Join a global leader at the forefront of shaping the future of real estate for a better world. Our Critical Environment Management practice is the trusted partner to the world's most innovative companies, ensuring the resilience and performance of the data centers that form the backbone of the digital economy. This is not a typical site management role; it is a strategic linchpin position for a seasoned expert ready to define operational excellence across our most vital client portfolios.
** The Opportunity
** As a Senior Data Center Manager, you will operate as a high-impact subject matter expert and trusted advisor. Your mandate is to provide programmatic leadership, strategic oversight, and mentorship to teams managing complex data center ecosystems. This role moves beyond day-to-day, hands-on delivery; your focus will be on elevating operational standards, guiding strategy, and ensuring unparalleled service quality across a portfolio of enterprise, colocation, and, most critically,

You will be the essential bridge between executive-level client strategy and on-the-ground technical execution. Your deep engineering knowledge will earn you credibility in the server room, while your polished communication will build confidence in the boardroom. You are the expert we deploy to solve the toughest challenges, guide our largest transitions, and mentor the next generation of critical environment leaders.

** Navigate the complexities of new client engagements
** with diplomatic skill and sensitivity, while fostering a culture that builds and retains high-performing technical teams in a fiercely competitive talent market.
** Masterfully orchestrate program management
** across a diverse portfolio, balancing conflicting priorities and stakeholder demands to ensure seamless service delivery, from technical due diligence to full operational maturity.
** Drive a culture of 100% uptime and operational excellence
** by influencing and guiding teams, not through direct command, but through expert consultation, the implementation of best-in-class programs, and rigorous quality assurance.
** What You'll Bring (Required Qualifications)
** A minimum of
** 10 years
** of progressive experience in critical environment and data center facility operations, with a significant and demonstrable track record in
** hyperscale data center environments**. Demonstrable mastery of critical MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) infrastructure, rooted in a strong
