• Enforce safe work planning, MOP/SOP/EOP discipline, QA/QC, code compliance, test documentation, and zero-impact execution in live data center environments.

• Define staffing, training, certification, tools, spares, technical support, and handoff requirements so installations transition cleanly into warranty and lifecycle service.

• Capture lessons learned, reduce deployment cycle time, improve forecast accuracy, standardize designs and scopes, and drive repeatable margin and customer experience.

• Publish the end-to-end NOIR deployment playbook, decision rights, stage gates, templates, acceptance criteria, and executive reporting cadence.

• Deliver initial deployments with disciplined lessons learned and convert the pilot approach into a repeatable regional delivery model.

• Implement a single source of truth for project scope, schedule, cost, cash flow, risks, changes, resource demand, and customer commitments.

• Qualify contractors, establish coverage plans, and align technician training, commissioning capability, spares, and support resources with the sales pipeline.

•  Create a formal turnover process from project delivery to monitoring, warranty, preventive maintenance, corrective service, and customer support.

• Demonstrated success leading managers, technical teams, contractors, and multiple concurrent projects across several geographic regions.

• Direct responsibility for large, multi-million-dollar capital portfolios, forecasts, project economics, change control, and executive reporting.

• Working knowledge of AC/DC power, batteries and UPS systems, generators, switchgear, HVAC, controls, alarms, and fire/life safety systems.

• Experience with battery, UPS, energy storage, commissioning, monitoring, and service-transition programs.

• PMP or equivalent project management certification; electrical journeyman license or comparable technical qualification.

• Experience in nuclear, utility, aerospace, military, telecommunications, or other environments where safety, configuration control, and uptime are paramount.

• Approve scopes, schedules, budgets, risk responses, recovery plans, and closeout readiness within delegated authority.

• Recommend go/no-go decisions based on design maturity, resources, materials, site readiness, safety, and customer dependencies.

• Qualify, assign, and escalate contractors and commissioning resources in accordance with procurement and quality policies.
