• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including engineering, networking, operations, and supply chain.

• Participate in related project activities such as automation initiatives, process improvements, and post-deployment support when required.

We expect you to have:

• Proactive, ownership-driven leader with the ability to anticipate issues, drive decisions on-site, and lead teams through complex deployments.

• Proven hands-on experience with data center infrastructure deployments, ideally in high-performance computing or AI-focused environments.

• Strong understanding of data center operations including racking, structured cabling, power planning, and cooling considerations.

• Technical knowledge of GPU servers, compute nodes, storage platforms, and high-speed networking technologies.

• Experience working within project delivery frameworks, collaborating closely with Project Managers, and managing subcontractors or vendors.

• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues in on-site, time-critical environments.

• Strong communication skills in English, both written and verbal.

• Ability to document processes, maintain tracking systems, and produce clear, structured deployment and status reports.

It will be an added bonus if you have:

• Understanding of construction projects structure and key risk factors in facility build-outs.

• Knowledge of HPC

• Experience in business processes design or automation tools development.

• PMP, PRINCE2, or similar industry certifications.
