About the Role

We are looking for a driven and detail-oriented Project Manager to oversee the planning, coordination, and execution of infrastructure projects for data centers, specifically focusing on non-IT facility-grade systems. You'll be responsible for delivering complex projects that include critical equipment such as:

• Generators (gensets)
• Transformers
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Switchgear
• Surge Protection Devices (SPD)
• Chillers
• HVAC Systems
• CRAC/CRAH Units
• Power Distribution Units (PDUs)

You will work closely with engineering, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and field service teams to ensure timely, budget-compliant, and high-quality project delivery—primarily for hyperscale and colocation data center clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end execution of infrastructure projects from contract award through commissioning and handover.
• Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, budgets, and resource allocations.
• Coordinate with internal teams (engineering, procurement, logistics, manufacturing) and external stakeholders (vendors, clients, contractors) to ensure alignment on technical and timeline requirements.
• Oversee the delivery and installation of key infrastructure systems such as generators, UPS, switchgear, HVAC, transformers, and cooling systems.
• Ensure compliance with client specifications, local codes, and industry standards (e.g., IEEE, NFPA, ASHRAE, UL).
• Act as the primary point of contact for the customer throughout the project lifecycle.
• Manage and mitigate project risks, issues, and changes, and ensure escalation protocols are followed.
• Track project KPIs, including cost performance, schedule adherence, and quality metrics.
• Support on-site teams during factory acceptance tests (FATs), site inspections, and commissioning activities.
• Ensure smooth transition from project delivery to operations, warranty, or service teams.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field.
• 5+ years of project management experience delivering infrastructure or industrial equipment projects—preferably within the data center, energy, or heavy MEP sectors.
• Strong familiarity with critical infrastructure systems such as gensets, UPS, transformers, switchgear, CRAC/CRAH, chillers, HVAC, and surge protection devices.
• Proven track record managing projects for colocation or hyperscale data centers, including understanding of Tier classifications and redundancy models (e.g., N+1, 2N).
• Strong vendor and contractor management skills.
• Excellent communication and organizational abilities.
• Proficient in project management tools (MS Project, Primavera, or equivalent), as well as Microsoft Office Suite.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, electrical one-lines, mechanical plans, and specifications.

Preferred Skills

• PMP or equivalent project management certification.
• Familiarity with data center standards such as Uptime Institute, ASHRAE, IEEE, NFPA.
• Experience working with OEMs, general contractors, EPCs, and large-scale data center developers or operators (e.g., Amazon, Google, Equinix, Digital Realty, Meta).
• Experience with equipment logistics, site readiness, and coordination of on-site installation or commissioning services.
• Understanding of energy efficiency, reliability, and cooling performance metrics in data center environments.
