The MEP & Structural Procurement TeamThe MEP & Structural Procurement team gets the physical equipment for gigawatt-scale AI data centers, electrical, cooling, power, and structural, delivered to site on schedule.Examples of key problems the team is working on:
- Expediting capital equipment orders where a slipped delivery pushes a construction milestone, and renegotiating vendor commitments to recover the schedule
- Managing supplier, CM, and ODM capacity across multiple concurrent project sites so lead times and allocations don't collide
- Reconciling purchase orders against engineering drawings and specs to catch scope discrepancies before equipment ships wrong
- Running root-cause analysis on delivery misses and reporting supply status to PMs and leadership with enough rigor to drive decisions
Role Scope- Lead the materials management team: set priorities and workload across the materials managers and coach their expediting practice until every open order has an owner and a recovery plan
- Work the hardest vendor recoveries yourself, expediting capital equipment orders with direct schedule consequences and renegotiating delivery commitments the site schedule can actually absorb
- Own the consolidated root-cause and reporting rhythm to PMs and leadership, so every delivery miss has a documented cause, a corrective action, and a credible new date
- Manage 4-5+ suppliers, CMs, and ODMs across concurrent project sites, keeping capacity, lead times, and allocations from colliding between projects
- Read engineering drawings and specs against orders yourself and catch scope discrepancies before they become field problems
- Travel to vendor sites to verify production status and push recoveries in person when the situation demands it
What We're Looking ForThe 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.- 7-10+ years in global sourcing or supply chain for capital equipment or data center infrastructure
- You've led a team of buyers or materials managers, or been its clear senior anchor, setting priorities and coaching how they expedite
- You've personally expedited capital equipment orders where the slip had direct schedule consequences, and renegotiated the vendor's delivery commitment yourself, not through a subordinate
- You've managed 4-5+ suppliers, CMs, or ODMs across concurrent project sites
- You can read engineering drawings and specs well enough to catch a scope discrepancy the vendor missed
- You're comfortable traveling to vendor sites, and you know when a problem needs you on the floor rather than on a call
- You're a player-coach: you run the team's rhythm and still take the hardest recoveries yourself
- Bonus: background in owner-furnished equipment, cooling and power components for AI data centers, or GPU platform procurement at a hyperscaler
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
