Role Overview

We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to own program management for the physical plant infrastructure delivery of new data center builds. 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.

This role manages the integrated schedule and cross-functional coordination across engineering, construction management, permitting, utilities, procurement, commissioning, operations readiness, security, finance, and external partners. The scope includes site work, utilities, shell, mechanical systems, electrical systems, controls, white space physical readiness, inspections, commissioning status, and turnover readiness.

This role does not own engineering design authority, construction means and methods, GC management authority, real estate acquisition, or steady-state operations. Engineering owns technical criteria and design. Construction Management owns the physical build oversight through the GC. Commissioning owns independent test and acceptance. Operations owns the site after turnover. This TPM owns the integrated delivery plan, schedule visibility, dependency tracking, issue escalation, and cross-functional alignment required to deliver the site.

What You’ll Do

• 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.
