About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President for Data Center Facilities Engineering with a strong background in mission-critical infrastructure. The successful candidate will have over 10 years' experience in data centers, facilities engineering, commissioning, or operations leadership, and a proven track record of owning commissioning programs and acceptance criteria in large-scale or hyperscale environments. Deep technical expertise in critical MEP systems, including power distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear, cooling, and controls/BMS, is essential. The role also requires experience in building and leading QA/QC, audit, and performance improvement programs, as well as the ability to translate engineering and design intent into field-executable standards and processes. Strong cross-functional leadership skills are a must, with the ability to engage effectively with construction, operations, vendors, and executive stakeholders. While not mandatory, experience in hyperscale environments, a background in building or scaling enterprise-level standards, and prior ownership of global or multi-site commissioning and operations frameworks are considered advantageous. The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in executive-level communication and influencing senior stakeholders, as well as exposure to large capital programs beyond construction. The Vice President will be responsible for the quality and technical governance of the full facility lifecycle, ensuring that all facilities are delivered, tested, and operated according to consistent standards with a focus on reliability, readiness, and long-term performance.
