Vice President

EXCLUSIVE RETAINED SEARCH || VP, DELIVERY || DATA CENTERS || ATLANTA, GEORGIA

How many MW have you stood up in the ground?

I'm talking energised, commissioned, and handed over.

If you can answer that with a number, and you’re proud of it, keep reading.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Umbilical Advanced has been exclusively retained to appoint a VP, Delivery for a data center operator building multiple GW campuses across Georgia.

Atlanta is no longer the market everyone is watching. It’s the market everyone is trying to deliver in.

Our client is one of the few with the power, the land, the balance sheet and the track record to do it.

A global portfolio that has already delivered, and a Global SVP I’d put among the most respected and genuinely innovative leaders in the industry.

WHY THIS SEAT IS DIFFERENT

Most delivery leaders spend their week managing a GC across a contract. This one won’t!

Our client has a dedicated in-house EPC firm. Engineering, procurement and construction sit alongside delivery under the same roof.

You’ll work directly with EPC leadership and internal engineering and architecture teams as a true partner. Fewer handoffs, shared accountability, and decisions made in the room rather than in the claims process.

You’ll own the Georgia remit end to end: design, construction, commissioning and operational readiness, across campuses delivering in parallel.

You’ll be the senior point of contact for executive stakeholders and customers, and you’ll build and lead the team that gets it done.

LET’S BE CLEAR ON WHO THIS IS FOR

This is a data center delivery role, for data center delivery professionals.

Aligned industries won’t cut it. Not commercial construction. Not industrial. Not pharma, semiconductor or utilities, however large the projects.

Some experience transfers well in theory. At GW scale, with this schedule, my client needs someone who has already done it.

You’ll be able to point to:

Data center capacity you have personally delivered, measured in MW, ideally hundreds of them.

Multi-campus or multi-building programmes run at the same time.

Direct experience working with an in-house or deeply integrated EPC partner.

Ownership from design through to Level 5 commissioning and operational readiness.

Exec-level presence, the ability to turn schedule risk into a decision a leadership team can actually make.
