Job Description

Senior Technical Program Manager owning TensorWave’s AI data center campus delivery. Managing stage gates, schedules, risks, contractors, commissioning, and operational turnover.

Responsibilities:

  • Run the thirteen-gate delivery structure for the assigned campus across active data halls or delivery phases
  • Ensure gate package quality, review cadence, outcome discipline, and conditional-pass tracking to closure
  • Own the campus design-and-build integrated schedule, including critical path logic, gate milestones, interlocks, procurement commitments, and fit-out sequencing
  • Produce site status that rolls up into the portfolio view for the Director and executive leadership
  • Coordinate general contractors, landlord, vendors, and colocation partners on scope, schedule, deliverable quality, readiness reviews, acceptance, and service readiness
  • Maintain the campus risk register and decision log; identify blockers, drive resolution, and escalate with options and recommendations
  • Coordinate Construction Engineering and Design, MEP Engineering, Network, and Operations through one integrated site plan
  • Capture cycle-time data, identify lessons learned, and improve the shared delivery playbook

Requirements:

  • 5 to 8 years in technical program management or delivery roles, with direct, hands-on ownership of data center design and construction delivery
  • Experience taking at least one large scale data center or multi-phase campus from design through commissioning and into service
  • Working fluency with stage gate delivery governance: written entry criteria, gate packages, and decision records rather than status meetings alone
  • Personal fluency in schedule logic at Primavera P6 grade or equivalent, critical path analysis, risk register discipline, and decision logs
  • Working depth across data center infrastructure: power architecture (utility feeds, generators, UPS, switchgear, PDU, busway), cooling including liquid cooling for high density deployments, structured cabling and fiber plant, and commissioning level structures from factory acceptance through integrated systems testing
  • Demonstrated ability to hold general contractors and vendors accountable without direct authority over them
  • Clear, structured written and verbal communication; escalate early, in writing, with a recommendation attached
  • Regular travel to assigned construction site, at minimum monthly, with extended on-site presence during energization and commissioning windows; estimated travel 30 to 40 percent
  • CDCDP, CDCP, or equivalent formal data center certification preferred
  • Experience delivering AI density whitespace preferred
  • Hyperscale, GPU cloud, or AI infrastructure background preferred
  • Experience with both greenfield builds and colocation tenant deployments preferred
  • Familiarity with GPU cluster deployment preferred
  • Candidates based near Las Vegas or Richmond hubs preferred
  • Authorization to work in the United States required
