Director, Data Center Low Voltage

Responsibilities

• Lead the low-voltage infrastructure delivery function across multiple concurrent hyperscale and gigawatt-scale data center construction projects.
• Manage and develop a high-performing team responsible for technical coordination, field execution, vendor oversight, quality, reporting, and project controls for low-voltage delivery.
• Establish clear team priorities, delivery expectations, accountability models, and operating rhythms across global programs.
• Serve as the senior delivery leader for low-voltage infrastructure, representing the function in executive reviews, project governance forums, and cross-functional planning sessions.
• Partner with senior leaders across construction, design, engineering, hardware, procurement, finance, and operations to align low-voltage delivery with overall campus milestones.

Technical Leadership & Standards

• Provide leadership oversight for bulk fiber, structured cabling, BMS/controls networks, security systems, AV systems, and related low-voltage infrastructure.
• Own and enforce OCI’s technical standards, design guidelines, installation specifications, and quality expectations for low-voltage systems.
• Ensure design packages, vendor submittals, testing plans, and commissioning documentation meet OCI requirements and support long-term operational reliability.
• Drive technical consistency across regions, campuses, vendors, and delivery models.
• Identify technical risks, design gaps, constructability issues, and integration challenges early in the project lifecycle.

Vendor Management & Delivery Execution

• Lead vendor management for low-voltage contractors, integrators, suppliers, and delivery partners across multiple large-scale projects.
• Oversee vendor scope, schedule, cost, staffing, productivity, safety, quality, and performance against contractual obligations.
• Establish vendor performance metrics, reporting mechanisms, escalation paths, and corrective action plans.
• Lead commercial oversight of low-voltage delivery, including change order review, pricing validation, scope alignment, and budget impact assessment.
• Partner with procurement and legal teams to support vendor selection, contracting strategies, commercial terms, and delivery models.
• Ensure vendors are adequately resourced and aligned to support aggressive global build schedules.

Rack Deployment Readiness Coordination

• Lead cross-functional readiness planning for rack deployment across large data hall programs.
• Ensure structured cabling, security, BMS/controls, and related low-voltage systems are validated prior to hardware installation.
• Partner with data hall design, construction, logistics, hardware engineering, and operations teams to confirm power, cooling, network pathways, and interconnects are complete and tested before rack arrivals.
• Oversee rack mapping, patching validation, port architecture alignment, and connectivity readiness.
• Track closeout items, commissioning progress, vendor readiness checklists, and operational acceptance milestones to support on-time rack installation.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Drive continuous improvement in low-voltage delivery through standardization, prefabrication, modularization, digital field tools, and improved vendor delivery models.
• Pilot new technologies that improve installation speed, quality, reliability, and operational readiness.
• Identify opportunities to reduce cost, compress schedules, improve quality, and increase repeatability across global builds.
• Build scalable processes, templates, dashboards, and delivery playbooks to support OCI’s rapid infrastructure growth.
• Promote a culture of safety, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Executive Communication & Cross-Functional Influence

• Provide clear executive-level reporting on low-voltage delivery status, vendor performance, schedule risks, cost impacts, quality issues, and major milestones.
• Translate complex technical and construction issues into actionable business updates for senior leadership.
• Influence cross-functional teams and external partners to resolve blockers and maintain delivery momentum.
• Lead escalations and drive timely decisions on risks, changes, vendor performance, and project execution challenges.
