• Resource Management: Efficiently manage and allocate resources (teams, tools, and budget) to ensure each phase of the project is adequately staffed and equipped to meet tight schedules.

• Risk Management: Identify potential risks, develop mitigation strategies, and proactively address issues to minimize disruptions and maintain timelines.

• Scheduling & Budgeting: Create and manage project schedules, budgets, and resource plans, ensuring alignment with contractual agreements and project constraints.

• Quality Assurance: Ensure all deployments meet technical and quality standards, adhering to industry best practices and local regulations.

• Documentation: Maintain detailed project documentation, including design documents, and provide regular progress updates.

• Technical Oversight and Collaboration: Work closely with technical experts to distill, convey, and translate guidance on best practices for data center design and deployment, including considerations for power, cooling, networking, and physical security.

• Continual Improvement: Identify and implement process improvements and innovative solutions to optimize data center operations.

• On-Site Project Oversight: Travel up to 25% to various data center sites to monitor progress, resolve issues, and ensure smooth execution. Coordinate with local teams, contractors, and vendors during visits.

Qualifications:

• A minimum of 3 years’ experience in data center deployment, infrastructure project management, or technical project management in data centers. Experience in high-performance computing and GPU technologies is advantageous.

• Proven experience in managing complex technical projects from start to finish, with a solid understanding of project management tools and methodologies.

• Extensive knowledge of data center infrastructure, including servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling systems, as well as familiarity with industry standards and best practices.

• Strong leadership, communication, and team management skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with diverse teams and stakeholders.

• Demonstrated problem-solving skills, including the ability to assess technical issues, develop solutions, and make critical decisions under pressure.

• Familiarity with industry standards such as TIA-942, Uptime Institute guidelines, ASHRAE, and other compliance, security, and risk management protocols.

• Adaptability to work in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, prioritize tasks effectively, and adjust to evolving requirements.

• Willingness and ability to travel to data center locations, sometimes on short notice.
