• Build strong relationships with hyperscale clients, cloud providers, colocation companies, consultants, developers, and key industry stakeholders.
• Lead business development activities to identify opportunities, secure meetings, develop partnerships, and win new Data Center projects.
• Oversee tendering activities including bid strategy, client requirements, technical and commercial proposals, pricing, risk review, value engineering, negotiations, and contract award.
• Ensure the company can successfully execute awarded Data Center EPC / Design-Build projects from design, procurement, construction, testing & commissioning through to final handover.
• Lead project delivery teams to ensure safety, quality, cost control, schedule compliance, client satisfaction, and project profitability.
• Take full ownership of P&L, revenue targets, budgets, forecasting, cash flow, and overall business performance.

• Strong experience in hyperscale Data Centers, cloud Data Centers, colocation facilities, or other mission-critical infrastructure projects.

• Strong understanding of Data Center systems such as electrical power, substations, backup power, cooling, HVAC, BMS/DCIM, ICT/ELV, fire and life-safety systems.
• Experience managing large project values, P&L, revenue growth, budgets, and profitability.
