Lead weekly meetings with external vendors, providing technical support and progress updates on build-outs and acceptance. Manage and track project timelines and risks to ensure timely project delivery. Oversee site acceptance activities with colocation providers according to Edge network facility acceptance standards. Coordinate multiple projects simultaneously, executing work efficiently at scale through vendor collaboration. Develop optimized layouts for edge/backbone midpoint site floorplans, allocating space for network functions, optical, backbone, IP, compute, etc. Deliver timely Engineering Design Packages related to site infrastructure for sourcing and capacity planning teams. Work closely with Meta business and technical teams to provide insights on space/power delivery and projects affecting capacity. Update Meta's internal tools and data records supporting cage and suite build-outs. Coordinate the delivery of Owner Furnished/Contractor Installed equipment from Meta's inventory to colocation facilities. Align with network planning and investment teams on roadmap and material forecasting for project delivery. Apply lessons learned from projects to enhance continuous improvement initiatives. Travel 20% to 30% as required based on project demands. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 7+ years of experience designing and constructing large-scale data center or mission-critical infrastructure, including specifying suite-level space, power, cooling, and structured cabling connectivity requirements. Proven experience in project management, planning, and executing complex technical projects. Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical/mechanical single line diagrams. Knowledge of various regional data center electrical and cooling configurations, IEC, NEMA standards, and AC/DC power concepts. Comprehensive understanding of fiber optic components, structured cabling, pathways, and design concepts. Understanding of engineering principles related to infrastructure architecture, including space alignment, airflow, and cooling. General knowledge of data center, colocation, and isolated hut environments, along with relevant engineering principles regarding power and infrastructure. Experience with field-based work in POPs, carrier hotels, data centers, or Central Office environments. Experience communicating and directing tasks with carriers and colocation vendors. Able to excel in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with global teams to achieve results while adapting to changing business needs. Strong problem-solving skills to analyze technical issues and troubleshoot independently.
