Identify and report safety hazards or discrepancies, ensuring adherence to safe work practices and procedures.
Coordinate with cross-functional teams including data center design engineers, project delivery managers, commissioning teams, contractors, and subcontractors to ensure facility construction aligns with operational requirements and best practices.
Review data center MEP designs and discipline plans for new builds and fit-outs, providing feedback from an operations perspective to improve maintainability and reliability.
Prepare and maintain comprehensive documentation including daily progress reports, inspection records, test results, and as-built drawings.
Verify installation process quality meets contract documents, checking labeling, sizes, torque, components, and location.
Provide recommendations and solutions for identified issues, not just pointing out problems.
Resolve engineering issues and constraints through communication with designers, suppliers, subcontractors, and clients.
