About The Job

Our mission as Construction Quality and Commissioning (QCx) is to design, build, and operate a fact‑based quality management system that provides predictable quality and a closed loop learning culture from design through operations for our global data centers. We strive to optimize construction quality and the commissioning process through data‑driven decision making, in order to deliver data centers with the highest quality and reliability in the industry.

As a team, we are committed to growing a culture of excellence and collaboration, and to continuously improving our processes and outcomes in order to exceed industry standards and the expectations of our stakeholders.

As a Technical Program Manager, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi‑disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross‑functional partners across the company. You will be responsible for developing the Commissioning Strategy and relevant documentation (i.e., specifications, test plans, checklists, guides) for mechanical or electrical equipment, supporting the APAC region.

In this role, you will utilize an understanding of data center construction standards, quality control and assurance processes, and commissioning procedures to ensure the successful delivery of high‑quality, reliable and efficient data center facilities. You will also support a portfolio of construction projects to ensure the successful implementation of the general construction quality program and reduce cost of poor quality in our construction projects.

Responsibilities

• Source commissioning agents and develop strategy and relevant documents (i.e., specifications, test plans, checklists, guides, trainings). Hold necessary cross‑functional team reviews and onboarding project stakeholders.
• Participate/facilitate vendor meetings to set expectations on Commissioning requirements, verify feasibility of strategy and documenting agreements.
