• Manage vendor and contractor performance, including contract compliance, scope, and delivery quality.
• Partner with design teams to resolve construction issues and maintain alignment with approved plans.
• Drive continuous improvement through provider evaluations, lessons learned, and process enhancements.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to capability building across the broader organization.

• Proven ability to manage multiple construction projects, schedules, budgets, and delivery priorities.
• Strong understanding of data center systems, including electrical, mechanical, cooling, networking, and structured cabling.
