We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

We are a diverse, upbeat, creative, team of engineers and managers working on a daily basis to develop innovative data centers for our Customers.

• Establish communication and coordination across a data center region’s general contractors, stakeholders, and internal teams. Example includes sending out region wide changes to construction trailer setup, COVID‑19 testing procedures, or location to access documents.
• Develop and maintain a tracking system for design changes, RFI’s (requests for information), and change orders and dashboard and track this information for regional leadership review, including tracking status of priority and due dates.
• Requesting and reviewing MOPs (Method of Procedure) for proper detail, necessity, and risk.
• On‑boarding new vendors for badging and orientation.
• Updating project management software with milestone dates, correspondence, and documents.
