Sr. Principal Technical Program Manager, End-to-End Data Center Delivery

Key Responsibilities
Lead multiple complex, high-value hyperscale data center capacity-delivery programs from site selection and due diligence through construction, commissioning, infrastructure deployment, and customer go-live.

• Own the integrated master schedule, capacity milestones, budget, risk and issue management, change control, recovery planning, and executive reporting.

• Define and drive the cross-functional delivery strategy across Real Estate, Capacity Planning, Energy and Utilities, Design Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Network, Security, Infrastructure Deployment, Finance, and Data Center Operations.

• Lead technical due diligence for prospective sites and colocation facilities, assessing utility availability, power-delivery timelines, fiber connectivity, permitting, constructability, physical constraints, and readiness to support forecasted compute and GPU demand.

• Drive technical decisions and execution across critical electrical and low-voltage scope, including utility interconnects, medium- and low-voltage distribution, switchgear, generators, UPS, busway, RPPs, containment, structured cabling, fiber pathways, network rooms, and white-space fit-out.

• Establish and govern technical design reviews, constructability reviews, submittals, acceptance criteria, and decision forums; identify and resolve cross-functional dependencies before they affect committed capacity dates.

• Direct readiness of critical equipment, construction progress, commissioning, integrated systems testing, quality validation, punch-list closure, and final acceptance.

• Ensure network, fiber, security, low-voltage, and server-deployment workstreams are sequenced and ready to safely energize, validate, and make capacity available to customers.

• Manage strategic relationships and delivery interfaces with general contractors, design firms, equipment vendors, colocation providers, utilities, carriers, and other external partners.

• Lead escalation and resolution of complex technical, schedule, commercial, and operational risks that span multiple organizations or programs.

• Drive operational handover to Data Center Operations, including asset and configuration data, maintenance information, test results, warranties, training, documentation, residual-risk management, and ownership transition.

• Establish repeatable delivery mechanisms, metrics, technical standards, and lessons learned that improve predictability, speed, cost, and quality across the regional data center portfolio.

• Communicate clearly and credibly with technical teams and executive stakeholders on capacity commitments, schedule health, cost exposure, key decisions, risks, and recovery actions.

• 8+ years of experience in technical program management, project delivery, engineering, construction, infrastructure deployment, or operations within mission-critical environments.

• 5+ years of direct experience delivering hyperscale, cloud, colocation, or large-scale enterprise data center programs.

• Demonstrated ownership of complex programs spanning early planning, design, construction, commissioning, technical fit-out, infrastructure deployment, and operational handover.

• Deep working knowledge of critical electrical infrastructure, including utility interfaces, substations or switchgear, generators, UPS systems, electrical distribution, busway, RPPs, and data-hall power distribution.

• Strong technical understanding of low-voltage and network infrastructure, including structured cabling, fiber systems, containment, pathways, network deployment dependencies, and security-system interfaces.

• Experience managing integrated schedules, critical paths, budgets, scope changes, vendor performance, commercial risk, and executive-level communications.

• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders, lead through ambiguity, make sound technical tradeoffs, and resolve issues across organizational boundaries.

• Ability to travel up to 50% within the Eastern U.S., particularly across Northern Virginia/IAD.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, or Construction Engineering; Construction Management; or a related technical discipline.

• Experience delivering high-density AI, GPU, HPC, or large-scale cloud capacity.

• Experience with both greenfield and leased/colocation data center delivery models.

• Expertise in commissioning, integrated systems testing, operational readiness, and customer capacity turn-up.

• Experience leading regional portfolios or programs with multiple concurrent data center delivery workstreams.

• Proficiency with Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Jira, SharePoint, or comparable delivery-management tools.

• PMP, PgMP, CDCP, CDCS, or related mission-critical infrastructure certification.
