This is a senior individual contributor role with end-to-end accountability for construction delivery across base building, civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, controls, security and life-safety systems. You will coordinate across project management, design, procurement, commissioning, operations, colocation providers, contractors and vendors to deliver projects safely, predictably and to OCI standards.

Key responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day site execution for complex data center projects, including AI and high-density infrastructure, and oversee base building, MEP systems, white space readiness, containment and enabling works.

• Evaluate project risk, progress and delivery plans; lead QA/QC (ITPs, inspections, NCRs, punch lists, progressive turnover); drive safety compliance and incident follow-up.
• Hold colocation providers, contractors and vendors accountable, support contractor performance reviews, and contribute to commercial administration (variations, claims, EOTs, progress validation).
• Run daily and weekly site cadence, contractor coordination meetings and progress reviews, maintain action, issue and risk registers, and provide executive reporting.
• Capture lessons learned, improve delivery standards, and mentor less experienced team members.

Required profile

• Proven experience managing projects from mobilization through construction, commissioning readiness, turnover and handover.
• Demonstrated ability to manage contractors, colocation providers, consultants and vendors in complex delivery environments.
• Strong schedule, risk, quality and problem-solving capability, able to operate under pressure and ambiguity.
• Experience supporting change management, claims, variations, EOTs, cost tracking and progress validation.

Required skills

• Knowledge of civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, controls and plumbing systems.
• Familiarity with project and document management platforms such as Aconex, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, SharePoint or similar.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to give clear executive updates.
