• Strong understanding of data center MEP systems, data hall fit out, structured cabling, and white space delivery. 
• Experience managing multi-million infrastructure budgets and tracking costs and timelines across multiple concurrent projects.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical construction and delivery details for non-technical stakeholders and senior leadership.
• Familiarity with high-density GPU compute environments, liquid cooling systems, or AI infrastructure requirements.
