Lambda - Technical Program Manager - Data Center Infrastructure Delivery
Requirements
• Hyperscale, AI/GPU, cloud region, or high-density compute delivery experience. • Utility interconnection, substation, MV/HV power, and liquid cooling experience. • Work with colocation providers, GCs, EPCs, commissioning agents, and permitting authorities. • PMP, construction management, engineering, or project controls certification. • Success Measures • Sites reach infrastructure turnover on the committed timeline. • Milestones across engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, procurement, and utilities are visible and accurate. • Critical path risks are escalated early with a clear owner, impact, and mitigation options. • Handoff to Operations meets defined readiness criteria, with no major gaps.
Responsibilities
• Own the integrated schedule from site handoff to Operations; break builds into workstreams with clear owners and milestones, and actively manage the critical path and schedule compression. • Drive the delivery sequence from rack requirements to engineering criteria, design, plan set, permitting, construction, commissioning, and turnover for MW-scale, high-density (including liquid-cooled) capacity. • Lead cross-functional execution with Real Estate (site assumptions, fiber, permit path), Energy and Utilities (interconnection, substation, power delivery), Engineering (requirements in the design and plan set), Procurement (long-lead equipment), Construction Management (GC schedule, field progress, inspections), Commissioning (test plans, acceptance), Operations (staffing, procedures, access), and Security, and Finance (requirements, budget, CapEx), and Legal. • Manage risk and governance: maintain risk registers, dependency logs, decision trackers, and schedule variance reports; surface permitting, utility, design, procurement, sequencing, and commissioning risks early. • Escalate with facts: status, baseline vs. forecast date, variance, impact, owner, mitigation options, and decision date. Lead schedule recovery when milestones slip. • Hold partners accountable to contractual milestones, production and shipping schedules, and commercial commitments while maintaining productive relationships. • Communicate to leadership through program reviews and concise, high-signal status updates. • Deliver clean turnover: define handover criteria and ensure white space, power, cooling, controls, cable pathways, access, and documentation are ready for Network Deployment. • Scale the function: build repeatable playbooks, dashboards, and lessons-learned loops across concurrent deployments. • Travel (~40%) to sites to validate progress and build partner relationships. • Scope of Ownership • Owns: site-level delivery program management; the integrated schedule; cross-functional coordination; milestone, risk, dependency, and decision tracking; variance reporting and escalation; Operations readiness. • Partners on, but does not own: site selection and real estate; engineering design authority; construction means and methods and GC management; commissioning authority; procurement commercial strategy; network and services deployment; steady-state operations. • Have 7+ years in data center delivery, infrastructure or construction program management, mission-critical facilities, or large capital projects. • Have delivered ground-up data centers or comparable mission-critical, industrial, semiconductor, or energy facilities, ideally multi-site on compressed timelines. • Know the full lifecycle: site handoff, permitting, design, utilities, procurement, construction, MEP, controls, commissioning, and turnover. • Run integrated schedules, critical path, dependency logs, and change control with rigor. • Understand technical tradeoffs well enough to spot risks, ask precise questions, and escalate without owning design authority. • Align partners, vendors, and engineering teams around shared deliverables, and bridge physical infrastructure with network and security teams. • Make sound decisions with incomplete information under schedule pressure, and communicate status clearly to executives. • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
