This is a senior leadership role overseeing the execution of one of the largest data center developments in the region. The project involves multiple buildings, significant power infrastructure, and long-term phased expansion, and requires someone who has operated at a similar level of scale and complexity.
You will take full ownership of construction strategy and execution, working closely with internal development, design, and operations teams, alongside top-tier general contractors and trade partners.
