• Track project schedule, milestones, constraints, risks, and dependencies related to MEP construction activities.
• Review and monitor installation quality, field progress, construction documentation, issue resolution, and punch-list closure.
• Partner with QA/QC teams to support inspections, documentation, non-conformance tracking, corrective actions, and quality verification.
• Coordinate with commissioning teams to ensure systems are installed, tested, and turned over in accordance with project requirements.
• Identify risks, blockers, design conflicts, constructability issues, and schedule impacts; elevate issues with clear recommendations.
• Support review of RFIs, submittals, change impacts, field directives, and technical coordination items.
• Participate in construction meetings, MEP coordination meetings, look-ahead planning sessions, QA/QC reviews, and commissioning readiness discussions.
• Maintain clear communication with Oracle stakeholders regarding project status, progress, risks, and critical issues.

• 5+ years of experience in data center, hyperscale, mission-critical, industrial, or large-scale construction project delivery.
• Direct experience supporting MEP construction on data center or mission-critical infrastructure projects.
• Experience with electrical MEP systems such as medium-voltage distribution, switchgear, UPS, generators, transformers, power distribution, grounding, controls, and related systems.
• Mechanical background may also be considered with relevant data center MEP experience, including cooling, chilled water, CRAH/CRAC, piping, pumps, air handling, fire protection, or controls.
• Prior experience working on hyperscale data center projects is required.
• Strong understanding of construction project execution, field coordination, QA/QC processes, schedule tracking, and issue resolution.
• Experience working with general contractors, trade contractors, construction managers, developers, design teams, vendors, and commissioning teams.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, schedules, submittals, RFIs, and technical documentation.
