About the role
- This role begins after the Real Estate and Site Selection team has selected or acquired a site and continues through construction completion, commissioning coordination, operational readiness, and handoff to the Network Deployment team.
- The scope includes site work, utilities, shell, mechanical systems, electrical systems, controls, white space physical readiness, inspections, commissioning status, and turnover readiness.
Responsibilities
- Own the integrated program schedule for a new data center build from post-site-selection handoff through handoff to Network Deployment.
- Coordinate the sequence from rack requirements to engineering criteria, engineering design, engineering plan set, permit submission, permit approval, construction, commissioning, and turnover readiness.
- Track milestones across site readiness, permitting, utility delivery, design completion, plan set completion, procurement dependencies, site work, shell, MEP systems, controls, white space physical readiness, inspections, commissioning, and operational handoff.
- Partner with Engineering to ensure rack, power, cooling, controls, resiliency, security, and operational requirements are reflected in the design package and plan set.
- Partner with Construction Management to track construction milestones, GC schedule, material availability, field progress, inspection status, and construction risks.
- Partner with Commissioning to track test plans, commissioning schedule, issue resolution, acceptance criteria, and readiness for operations turnover.
- Partner with Operations to track staffing readiness, procedures, documentation, training, monitoring readiness, access readiness, and turnover requirements.
- Maintain site-level risk registers, dependency logs, decision trackers, milestone trackers, schedule variance reports, and executive status updates.
- Identify risks that could affect delivery dates, including permitting delays, utility delays, design changes, procurement constraints, construction sequencing issues, commissioning failures, inspection delays, or unresolved decisions.
- Support schedule recovery planning when site, permit, utility, design, procurement, construction, commissioning, or operations readiness milestones slip.
Requirements
- Escalate issues with specific facts, including current status, baseline date, forecast date, variance to plan, impact, owner, mitigation options, and required decision date.
