• Translate assigned infrastructure goals into clear workstream charters, scopes, milestones, owners, decision points, success metrics, resourcing assumptions, and execution plans.
• Build and maintain integrated execution plans for assigned programs covering network, controls, data hall design, whitespace deployment, commissioning preparation, and deployment readiness.
• Support coordination across network, controls, structural, electrical, mechanical, hardware integration, construction, commissioning, and operations teams.
• Work with third-party design teams to define design milestones from concept through detailed design, including basis-of-design development, requirements tracking, design reviews, technical comment resolution, change management, and release readiness.
• Maintain the dependency map, issue log, risk register, action tracker, and decision log for assigned network and data hall work streams.
• Coordinate design and review milestones for network rooms, non-production network services, OT / IT interface points, rack deployment assumptions, telemetry interfaces, controls dependencies, and data hall deployment packages.
• Track building-level network and support-space interfaces such as MPOE, MMR, Network Core, WAN, support rooms, and associated handoff points where they affect assigned programs.
• Support the network and controls DRIs by organizing reviews, resolving cross-discipline gaps, surfacing decisions, and keeping partner deliverables aligned to schedule.
• Manage partner and vendor deliverables such as submittals, interface packages, installation assumptions, turn-up plans, readiness evidence, field issue logs, and corrective action tracking.
• Drive readiness tracking for assigned 1P, 3P, colo, and selected CSP programs, including bring-up sequencing, installation readiness, access dependencies, maintenance windows, and first-use criteria.
• Prepare clear status updates, dashboards, and executive-ready summaries for the Industrial Compute lead and project stakeholders.
• Capture lessons learned from deployment and handoff activities and feed them back into playbooks, standards, and interface definitions.
- Extensive experience in engineering program management, technical program management, mission-critical infrastructure delivery, data centre deployment, or comparable complex execution environments, typically gained through 10+ years of relevant work or equivalent depth of experience.
- Proven ability to operate within ambiguous, cross-functional engineering programs with shifting requirements, urgent timelines, and high-stakes operational risk, driving from concept through design, validation, procurement, construction, commissioning, deployment and operations.
- Proven experience coordinating cross-functional programs that include network, controls, mechanical, electrical, structural, construction, commissioning or operations participants.
- Strong technical fluency in at least several of the following areas: data hall deployment, non-production network, production network interfaces, controls coordination, telemetry, rack deployment, mission-critical support spaces, and infrastructure handoff.
- Experience building and maintaining integrated schedules, dependency maps, risk registers, decision logs, readiness trackers, and partner action plans.
- Experience coordinating external partners, vendors, design firms, delivery teams, or operators in a multi-party infrastructure environment.
- Ability to understand complex technical tradeoffs, ask strong questions, identify hidden dependencies, and help teams move toward clear decisions without needing to be the sole technical owner.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce crisp status reporting and drive action across matrixed teams.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Construction Management, Operations, Business, or a related technical or quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
Demonstrates extensive experience in engineering program management and technical program management within mission-critical infrastructure delivery, particularly in data centre…
