About This Role

The Global Program Controls organization provides governance, reporting,

controls processes, cost management support, and portfolio visibility to help

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure deliver global data center programs with greater

consistency, transparency, and execution discipline.

Oracle is seeking a Director of Estimating to build and lead an owner-side

cost-intelligence function for data-center tenant fit-out and technology

infrastructure.

This is not a contractor bidding or business-development role. The Director

will establish independent, should-cost estimates and market benchmarks that

allow us to assess, challenge, and negotiate pricing submitted by co-location

providers and low-voltage contractors. The role will also partner closely with

Engineering to ensure our design standards deliver the required performance

without creating unnecessary cost.

The right candidate combines deep experience in low-voltage and

technology-infrastructure estimating with strong commercial judgment,

data-center awareness, and a practical vision for automating estimating through

AI.

What You’ll Do

* Build an owner-side estimating capability that establishes independent

should-cost estimates for our recurring data-center tenant fit-out build

types.

* Develop benchmark pricing, unit-cost libraries, labor assumptions,

productivity factors, and market intelligence for

low-voltage, technology-infrastructure, power, and pathway scopes.

* Review co-location provider fit-out proposals and low-voltage contractor

pricing; identify gaps, unsupported allowances, scope overlap, risk premiums,

and opportunities to negotiate.

* Provide leadership with clear, defensible cost positions before and during

commercial negotiations.

* Create repeatable, bid-ready assumptions and scope packages for each build

type, allowing co-location providers to price against a common baseline.

* Establish an assumption-management process so that, as designs mature, the

team can clearly identify what has changed and whether pricing should

increase or decrease.

* Turn incomplete provider proposals into transparent comparisons by

documenting the assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, quantities, and basis of

estimate required for a reliable decision.

* Partner with Engineering and design teams to review design standards and

challenge requirements that add cost without being necessary for data-center

functionality, reliability, capacity, or operational needs.

* Help define cost-aware design standards, alternates, and decision frameworks

that balance performance, speed, scalability, and capital efficiency.

* Interface with co-location providers, general contractors, low-voltage

contractors, engineers, and internal stakeholders to resolve scope and

pricing ambiguity early.

* Develop consistent reporting for estimate variance, cost drivers, market

trends, negotiation outcomes, and lessons learned across projects.

* Lead the implementation of AI and automation in estimating, including rapid

concept estimates, scope extraction, proposal analysis, benchmark

comparisons, assumption tracking, and historical-cost intelligence.

Technical Scope

The Director will have working knowledge across the technology and

supporting-infrastructure package required for data-center tenant fit-outs,

including:

* Structured cabling, fiber, network infrastructure, and interconnection

requirements

* Technology rooms, IDFs/MDFs, racks, cabinets, containment, grounding/bonding,

and equipment support

* AV, security, access control, CCTV, wireless, DAS, and related technology

systems, where applicable

* Cable tray, ladder rack, conduit, sleeves, J-hooks, pathways, firestopping,

backboards, and physical infrastructure

* Electrical power serving technology environments, including dedicated

circuits, branch power, receptacles, whips, UPS support, and coordination

with electrical-trade partners

* Testing, commissioning, turnover documentation, and other delivery

requirements that affect cost and schedule

RESPONSIBILITIES

What We’re Looking For

* Significant experience estimating low-voltage, technology-infrastructure, and

supporting power/pathway scopes.

* Strong experience in commercial tenant improvement, interior fit-out,

data-center fit-out, mission-critical, or similarly complex environments.

* Experience developing budgets, independent estimates, benchmarks, or

owner-side cost models—not solely contractor bid estimates.

* The ability to translate incomplete design or proposal information into a

credible, transparent basis of estimate.

* Strong understanding of how design decisions, standards, phasing, schedule,

procurement, labor availability, and scope definition affect cost.

* Experience working effectively with engineers, designers, contractors, and

senior business stakeholders.

* Strong analytical judgment and the confidence to challenge pricing,

assumptions, and design requirements constructively.

* A demonstrated interest in AI, automation, and scalable estimating processes,

with the ability to convert ideas into practical workflows.

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to

present complex cost issues simply and credibly.

Preferred Qualifications

* Data-center, co-location, hyperscale, mission-critical, or

critical-infrastructure experience.

* Experience with owner’s-representative, developer, enterprise-owner, or

procurement-side estimating.

* Experience building a cost database, benchmark model, standardized scope

package, or design-to-cost program.

* Familiarity with low-voltage and technology standards, Division 27/28

systems, and their coordination with power and pathways.

* Experience implementing estimating platforms, data tools, automation, or

AI-enabled workflows.

What Success Looks Like

Within the first year, this leader will have created a trusted should-cost model

for our primary build types; established common pricing assumptions for

co-location-provider proposals; improved visibility into scope, cost drivers,

and estimate variance; strengthened our negotiating position with providers and

contractors; and launched AI-enabled workflows that allow the team to evaluate

pricing quickly without sacrificing rigor.
