Role Purpose

As the Data Centre Project Management Leader - AME, you will oversee the full lifecycle of large-scale cooling solution deployments—from initial contract award to final commissioning and site handover.

You will define the internal standards on project management discipline, building scalable playbooks and leading high-stakes execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Project Oversight: Direct the execution of multi-million-dollar thermal management (incl. chiller, airside, CDU and controls) projects, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to precise technical specifications.

• Data-Driven Leadership: Use project data to identify bottlenecks in the supply chain or site installation phases, driving measurable efficiency gains.

• Senior Interface: Act as the primary point of contact for senior stakeholders and Lead engineers at Global Hyperscale’s, Consultants and General Contractors (GCs). Serve as the senior point of escalation for complex technical or logistical issues, maintaining a "solutions-first" mindset.

• Risk Mitigation: Manage "Change Order" processes and long-lead logistics to meet strict customer required schedules.
