The Director, Tenant Fit-Out leads Prime's TFO engineering organization, responsible for designing and delivering customer-specific deployment solutions within Prime's data centers. This role owns the full multidisciplinary team - Electrical, Mechanical, Structural, Technical, Pre-Construction, BIM, and Estimating - and is accountable for translating individual tenant requirements into buildable, schedule- and budget-compliant designs. The Director partners closely with Base Build Engineering leadership to ensure fit-out designs integrate cleanly with core facility infrastructure, and serves as the senior engineering point of contact for customers on deployment-related technical matters.

What you'll do
• Lead and develop the TFO engineering organization across Electrical, Mechanical, Structural, Technical, Pre-Construction, BIM, and Estimating disciplines
• Own end-to-end delivery of customer-ready deployment solutions, including white space design, rack layouts, power distribution within the data hall, structured cabling and fiber pathways, and customer equipment integration
• Serve as the primary engineering escalation point for customer requirements, translating tenant specifications into constructible, code-compliant designs
• Partner with Base Build Engineering leadership to align TFO designs with core facility capacity for electrical distribution, mechanical systems, structural loading, and utility integration
• Establish design standards, templates, and playbooks for recurring tenant deployment types to improve consistency, speed, and cost predictability
• Own the TFO engineering budget, staffing plan, and resource allocation across active and pipeline projects
• Report program status, technical risks, and commercial impacts to senior leadership and, where appropriate, to customers
• Champion continuous improvement in design quality, cost control, and schedule performance across the TFO portfolio

Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Structural Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical field
• 12+ years of experience in data center design, engineering, or construction, with substantial exposure to tenant fit-out or colocation deployment work
• 5+ years leading multidisciplinary engineering or design teams
• Deep familiarity with data hall white space design: rack/cabinet layouts, power distribution (PDUs, busway, RPPs), cooling distribution, and structured cabling/fiber pathways
• Track record partnering directly with enterprise or hyperscale customers on technical requirements and deployment specifications
• Experience coordinating with base-build design and construction teams on capacity allocation and infrastructure tie-ins
• Professional Engineer (PE) license a plus

Benefits

  • Competitive salary range and performance bonus program
  • 401k fully vested upon enrollment, up to a 4% employer match
  • 100% employee premiums paid by employer for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability
