About the role

- Own the design, fit-out, and commissioning of white space sites across the US and Asia, with a focus on power distribution (PDUs), cooling distribution (CDUs), and IT-adjacent infrastructure

- Manage a portfolio of 5+ sites across two regions in various stages of deployment and live operation
- Partner with vendors, contractors, and equipment suppliers to drive site deployments to schedule and quality
- Travel to Asia periodically to oversee regional site deployments and support the local team
Requirements
- Deep, hands-on technical knowledge of data center power and cooling systems at the IT-adjacent layer - PDUs, CDUs, power distribution, and white space fit-out
- Proven experience designing and commissioning data center infrastructure, from evaluation through to live operation
- Experience operating data center infrastructure at meaningful scale, supporting large production workloads
