In this role, you will work directly with developers, managing critical aspects of sites/equipment/construction quality. You will collaborate with data center designers, developers, manufacturers, engineers, and operations, and drive quality escalations and failure analysis. You establish actual root cause(s) and drive systemic corrective actions with demonstrated preventative solutions. You will extract and analyze data from developers' facilities readiness and our data centers to verify performance and drive improvements. You will develop and manage third-party data center (3PDC) quality programs and services for assigned projects and developers. You will lead teams to drive transformational capabilities for scalability and support organizational long-term strategies.
