Tooling Manager, Data Center Site Deployment

• Develop standard tooling lists, site deployment kits, replenishment triggers, storage expectations, and control processes.
• Support tool issue resolution when missing, damaged, uncalibrated, delayed, or improperly staged equipment could impact deployment schedules.
• Partner with Asset Management and Logistics to align tooling records, ownership, barcoding, transfer, storage, and lifecycle processes.
• Track tool movement across sites, vendors, staging areas, and deployment teams to improve accountability and reduce loss.
• Support receiving, inspection, labeling, storage, checkout, return, and disposal processes for deployment tooling.
• Identify tooling gaps, recurring failure points, standardization opportunities, and cost or schedule risks.
• Prepare status updates, issue logs, action registers, and readiness summaries for deployment leadership.
• Ensure tooling processes support safety, security, access control, audit readiness, and site-specific operating requirements.
• Contribute to deployment playbooks, lessons learned, templates, and continuous improvement initiatives.
