Data Center Infrastructure Engineering Program Manager (Network and Whitespace)

What they’re looking for

• Extensive experience in engineering program management, technical program management, mission-critical infrastructure delivery, data center deployment, or comparable complex execution environments, typically gained through 10+ years of relevant work or equivalent depth of experience.
• Proven ability to operate within ambiguous, cross-functional engineering programs with shifting requirements, urgent timelines, and high-stakes operational risk, driving from concept through design, validation, procurement, construction, commissioning, deployment, and operations.
• Proven experience coordinating cross-functional programs that include network, controls, mechanical, electrical, structural, construction, commissioning, or operations participants.
• Strong technical fluency in at least several of the following areas: data hall deployment, non-production network, production network interfaces, controls coordination, telemetry, rack deployment, mission-critical support spaces, and infrastructure handoff.
• Experience building and maintaining integrated schedules, dependency maps, risk registers, decision logs, readiness trackers, and partner action plans.
• Experience coordinating external partners, vendors, design firms, delivery teams, or operators in a multi-party infrastructure environment.
• Ability to understand complex technical tradeoffs, ask strong questions, identify hidden dependencies, and help teams move toward clear decisions without needing to be the sole technical owner.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce crisp status reporting and drive action across matrixed teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Construction Management, Operations, Business, or a related technical or quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Direct experience with hyperscale data centers, AI infrastructure, HPC environments, colocation, or partner-delivered data center programs.
• Experience supporting high-density data hall or HAC-related design and deployment efforts.
• Experience with non-production network and support-service readiness for large-scale infrastructure deployments.
• Experience coordinating controls integration, network-room layouts, telemetry interfaces, rack deployment packages, or early operational handoff.
• Comfort with technical documentation such as one-line diagrams, P&IDs, controls sequences, network diagrams, equipment specifications, interface control documents, telemetry schemas, test procedures, and commissioning scripts.
