Principal Data Center Facilities Development Manager (Data Center Infrastructure Construction)

About the team

Lead end-to-end data-center capacity programs, turning sites into live compute and GPU capacity for Oracle customers. This position is located in Nashville, TN

Description

Imagine guiding a data-center from site selection through to production go-live, delivering the compute and GPU power that fuels Oracle’s cloud services. In this role you’ll own the integrated delivery path, coordinating internal engineering, colocation partners, utilities, contractors and technology vendors to move a site through due-diligence, design, construction, commissioning, floor-space fit-out, network deployment and server readiness. 

Your deep technical fluency in critical electrical infrastructure, low-voltage systems, structured cabling and networking will ensure each facility becomes a reliable, high-performance environment for our customers. You’ll shape the end-to-end process, driving operational handover and ongoing success.

Responsibilities

• Lead the full lifecycle of hyperscale data-center projects, from site selection and due‑diligence through construction, commissioning and production hand‑over.
• Partner with colocation providers, utilities, contractors and technology partners to align design, schedule and budget, delivering on‑time, on‑spec capacity.
• Drive the implementation of critical electrical infrastructure, low‑voltage distribution and structured cabling systems to meet performance and reliability targets.
• Oversee network deployment and floor‑space fit‑out, ensuring seamless integration of compute and GPU resources.
• Coordinate server readiness activities and operational hand‑over, enabling customers to launch workloads without disruption.
• Develop and maintain integrated delivery roadmaps, risk registers and performance metrics to continuously improve program outcomes.
• Influence cross‑functional teams to adopt best practices in data‑center construction, commissioning and operational excellence.

Qualifications

• Proven experience managing end‑to‑end hyperscale data‑center capacity delivery programs, including site selection, construction and production go‑live.
• Strong technical knowledge of critical electrical infrastructure, low‑voltage power distribution, structured cabling and networking dependencies in data‑center environments.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders such as internal engineering teams, colocation partners, utilities and contractors to achieve project milestones.
• Excellent program management skills, including schedule, budget and risk management for large‑scale infrastructure projects.
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering or a related technical field.
• Preferred: Experience with GPU‑focused compute deployments in hyperscale data‑centers.
• Preferred: Familiarity with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services and data‑center operational models.
