Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Lead design management across the build portfolio: every site's design deliverables, consultants, and review cycles under one operating model.
  • Set the design schedule per site and hold architect and engineer of record firms to it, escalating slips while recovery is cheap.
  • Run the design review machine so packages clear constructability, cost, and reference-design conformance in one pass.
  • Own the interface between design and the field: RFI trends feed design fixes, not just answers.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've led design management on large industrial or mission critical programs with multiple firms in flight.
  • You've held design firms to schedules they called aggressive, and they delivered.
  • You read across disciplines well enough to catch the cross-discipline gaps single-discipline reviewers miss.
  • You've built review processes that made packages better and faster at the same time.
  • Bonus: Data center design programs. Owner-side design management. Modular and DfMA delivery. BIM-based review workflows.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
