readiness gates.

* Independent Risk Evaluation: Independently assess delivery plans and actual

progress to identify risk early, close gaps in mitigations, and clearly

* Quality Assurance & Closeout: Own QA/QC execution including ITPs,

inspections, NCRs, corrective actions, punch lists, progressive turnover, and

closeout discipline.

* Design & Change Coordination: Ensure construction aligns to approved design

intent; support disciplined change control, field clarifications, and

document governance.

* Safety & Compliance: Lead safety performance and compliance with local

regulations, codes, standards, and OCI requirements; drive audits, incident

learnings, and corrective actions.

* Vendor & Performance Management: Manage contractor and vendor performance,

ensure scope compliance, and provide structured provider evaluation inputs

for continuous improvement.

* Reporting & Stakeholder Management: Run site cadence (daily/weekly), provide

executive-ready updates, maintain action/issue registers, and escalate

blockers quickly.

* Site Presence: Regular site visits and strong on-the-ground leadership

throughout the project lifecycle.

Required Skills & Experience

* Deep data center construction knowledge: Strong expertise across civil,

structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, controls, and plumbing in

mission-critical environments.

* Lifecycle delivery experience: Proven capability through mobilization,

construction, commissioning readiness, and turnover/handover.

* High accountability leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead under pressure,

drive delivery discipline, and mentor teams while holding vendors

accountable.

* Risk & problem solving: Strong analytical and practical problem-solving

skills in fast-paced, high-dependency construction environments.

(variations, claims, EOTs, progress validation) with clear records and

evidence.

* Tools & systems: Strong reporting capability and familiarity with

document/project platforms such as Aconex, Procore, Autodesk Construction

Cloud, SharePoint, or similar.

Qualifications

* Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field

(or equivalent practical experience).
