• 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.

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