Senior Program Manager

We are seeking an experienced Program Manager – Mechanical & Cooling Infrastructure to lead the mechanical and cooling workstream for an AI Data Center Campus in India. The role will oversee liquid cooling infrastructure, CDUs, dry coolers, adiabatic systems, trim chillers, pumps, piping networks, HVAC, ventilation, fire protection interfaces, water treatment, and mechanical commissioning. This role is critical for an AI-focused data center where high-density GPU racks, liquid cooling, water systems, and thermal performance will directly impact facility readiness, reliability, and operating efficiency. The candidate must be capable of managing design coordination, vendor interfaces, mechanical construction, commissioning, and future scalability across multiple data center pods.

Key Responsibilities

1. Mechanical Program Leadership

Lead the mechanical and cooling program across design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover. Own mechanical scope, schedule, budget, risk register, and interface management. Support phased deployment of multiple pods and campus-level cooling scalability. Coordinate mechanical requirements with IT load, electrical systems, CSA readiness, OEM requirements, and operational needs.

1. Cooling Infrastructure Delivery

Oversee direct liquid cooling infrastructure, Coolant Distribution Units, and Technology Cooling System piping. Oversee facility water systems, dry coolers, adiabatic cooling systems, and trim chillers where applicable. Oversee pumps and hydronic systems, heat exchangers, expansion tanks, filtration, chemical treatment, and controls. Oversee cooling distribution headers and branch piping.

1. HVAC and Mechanical Systems

Manage HVAC systems for electrical rooms, support spaces, admin areas, battery rooms, mechanical rooms, and other non-white-space areas. Coordinate ventilation, pressurization, filtration, and environmental control systems. Ensure maintainability and operational access for all mechanical systems.

1. Water and Utility Systems

Coordinate water treatment, make-up water, storage, filtration, and chemical dosing systems. Support evaluation of water availability and consumption risks. Ensure water system design aligns with adiabatic assist, cooling performance, and local operating conditions.
