Project Leadership & Owner Representation

• Act as the Owner’s Representative for all phases of project delivery, from early planning through commissioning and handover.

• Establish project execution strategies aligned with operational requirements for AI rack assembly, liquid cooling, and test validation.

• Lead day‑to‑day project governance, decision‑making, and stakeholder alignment.

MEP‑Focused Execution

• Oversee MEP‑intensive scopes, including high‑capacity electrical distribution, power quality, controls, and direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling systems.

• Coordinate central utility plant infrastructure, process cooling, house air systems, and test/validation environments that simulate data‑center operating conditions.

• Ensure systems are designed and installed to support high‑density loads, burn‑in testing, and repeatable commissioning processes.

Design & Engineering Management

• Manage and coordinate multi‑disciplinary design teams (mechanical, electrical, low‑voltage, controls, structural, and civil).

• Lead design reviews to ensure constructability, sequencing, and alignment with manufacturing and test workflows.

• Validate that design intent supports operations, maintainability, scalability, and future technology upgrades.

Construction & Contractor Oversight

• Oversee general contractors, trade partners, and specialty vendors, with emphasis on sequencing, quality control, and safety.

• Lead construction coordination in a fast‑paced environment, including work in partially active or start‑up conditions.

• Proactively identify and mitigate schedule risk, scope gaps, and cost exposure—particularly within MEP and systems integration scopes.

Schedule, Cost, and Risk Management

• Develop and manage detailed project schedules with clear milestones for equipment installation, start‑up, and testing.

• Lead cost control, change management, and forecasting efforts to maintain budget discipline.

• Maintain active risk and issue logs, driving timely resolution and escalation when required.

Commissioning, Start‑Up & Turnover

• Lead start‑up, test balance, and commissioning planning in coordination with owners, vendors, and contractors.

• Ensure all systems meet performance criteria prior to rack shipment and facility turnover.

• Oversee documentation, as‑builts, O&M manuals, and readiness for operations and production use.

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven experience as an Owner’s Rep on complex industrial, mission‑critical, or advanced manufacturing facilities.

• Strong background in MEP‑heavy projects, including electrical power systems and process or liquid cooling infrastructure.

• Experience supporting commissioning‑driven environments such as data centers, semiconductor, life sciences, or advanced tech manufacturing.

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple stakeholders in fast‑track, high‑change environments.

• Strong command of scheduling, cost control, contractor oversight, and risk management fundamentals.

• Comfortable operating at both executive and field levels, with a hands‑on leadership style.

Role Characteristics

• Environment: Fast‑paced, technically complex, and execution‑focused

• Scope: MEP‑dominant, commissioning‑driven, production‑adjacent

• Leadership Style: Decisive, collaborative, detail‑oriented

• Ideal Background: Mission‑critical, data center, or advanced manufacturing delivery
