In the posting’s own words
You don't need a data center background. We care more about whether you have delivered complex industrial projects from the field and can get contractors and partners to act when you have no formal authority over them.
What it asks for · 8
- Have spent years on active project sites in energy, power, heavy industrial, data center or similar environments, as an engineer, project manager, or construction or commissioning lead
- Can read drawings, single-line diagrams, P&IDs, specifications and schedules well enough to see where they disagree with what's been installed
- Can give specific examples of persuading contractors, vendors or partners who didn't report to you to change course
- Hold your position under pressure, back it with evidence, deliver bad news early, and change your mind when the facts change
- Have led structured failure investigations, using a method such as 5 Whys or 8D, and seen the corrective actions through
- Write short, factual reports that a busy reader can act on
- Treat safety as your own job, and will stop work that isn't safe
- Have a degree in engineering, construction management or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Also a plus
- Experience as an owner's representative overseeing an EPC or general contractor
- Commissioning, startup or system turnover experience
- Worked in LNG, refining, offshore, power generation, semiconductor or naval environments
