- Hold quality: QA re-audit pass rate of at least 98%; act fast on rework, method gaps and weak shifts.
- Run the site rhythm: shift handovers, daily huddles, discrepancy triage with the client's design and DCIM owners, weekly reviews.
- Plan and execute site rotations with PMO, Travel and Admin, so crews move without idle time.
- Own people: rosters, overtime approval, attrition, performance, coaching and career paths to Tech Lead.
- Work with the EHS lead and site safety officers; stop work when it is not safe.
- Report cluster KPIs, risks and staffing to the Senior SDM and PMO; escalate per the defined escalation path.
What you bring
- 10+ years in data center, network or field operations; 5+ years managing field teams of 50+ across shifts.
- Hands-on experience in hyperscaler data center build-outs or operations: structured cabling, fiber, rack and network turn-up, QA / QC.
- Has run 24x7 operations and handled client escalations on live sites.
- Data-driven: runs a site on KPIs, dashboards and logs.
- Willing to be based at, and move between, client data center sites in the US.
- Preferred: PMP, ITIL or Lean; OSHA 30; BICSI or fiber certifications.
How we will measure success (first 6 months)
- Cluster audit KPIs at target: QA re-audit pass rate at least 98%; evidence and log completeness at least 99%.
- Zero recordable safety incidents; zero client-raised SEVs from our work.
- Shift coverage at plan; 30-day attrition below plan.
- Site moves completed with no unplanned idle crew days.
