Résumé du poste

Jacobs is seeking a hands-on Director of Electrical Procurement to own end-to-end procurement for multi-billion-dollar data center campuses. You will drive sourcing strategies, negotiations, and contract administration for critical electrical equipment and trade packages, ensuring schedule and budget adherence across two campuses.

You will lead capacity planning, work closely with design, construction, and commissioning teams, and manage high-value deals, supplier performance, and risk.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of procurement or commercial experience on large capital projects.
• Direct experience procuring electrical equipment and/or electrical trade packages for data centers or mission-critical facilities.

• Lead procurement of electrical trade packages, including bid strategy, contractor selection, and contract administration.
• Develop and execute capacity plans to mitigate long-lead risk across both campuses.
• Partner with design, construction, and commissioning teams to align procurement with project schedules.
• Personally manage high-value deals, supplier performance, expediting, and escalations that threaten cost or schedule.
• Track and report on electrical procurement status, cost, and risk.
