POSITION SUMMARY
We are seeking a highly motivated and technically capable TPM/PM professional to support the growth of a rapidly expanding Data Center Professional Services organization. This role is intentionally designed as a hybrid position during the early growth phase of the business, combining both Project Management and Technical Program Management responsibilities.
The ideal candidate must be comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-visibility environments while balancing customer communication, technical execution oversight, operational coordination, field leadership support, workflow management, and customer issue resolution.
This role will serve as a central operational and technical coordination point responsible for managing execution workflows, project tracking, deployment documentation, customer communication, quality validation, vendor coordination, and field delivery accountability across multiple active programs. The individual will act as an operational quarterback for the organization, helping ensure projects are executed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in alignment with customer expectations and company quality standards.
The ideal candidate is highly organized, technically capable, customer-focused, and comfortable operating in fast-moving environments where structure is still being built. This position requires someone who can take ownership, drive accountability across teams, solve problems proactively, and maintain confidence during high-pressure customer or operational situations.
As the business scales, the individual will transition into a more focused role aligned to their demonstrated strengths, leadership ability, and business needs — either within Technical Program Management, Project Management, Operations Leadership, Customer Success, or Delivery Leadership.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives in “build mode,” enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges, and wants to help shape the future of a high-growth data center services organization.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading project kickoffs onsite with customers and field teams
- Supporting technical project planning, labor estimation, and execution strategy
- Determining technician staffing requirements, project timelines, and implementation feasibility
- Serving as a technical escalation point when project challenges arise
- Conducting project closeout and final customer walk-throughs
- Collaborating closely with internal leadership and operations teams to support go-to-market and delivery strategies
- Translating customer requirements into actionable direction for field technicians and onsite teams
This role leans more heavily toward the technical/construction side of project delivery rather than traditional PMO responsibilities. The organization already has dedicated Project Managers in place, so the focus is on technical leadership, field execution, and operational support.
Candidates should have:
- Strong understanding of structured cabling, data center infrastructure, and field operations
- Experience estimating labor, timelines, and technical requirements for large-scale deployments
- Ability to work both remotely and onsite across multiple project locations
- Strong communication and customer-facing skills
- Experience supporting data center buildouts, infrastructure deployments, or technical construction projects
- OSHA 10 and/or OSHA 30 certifications
- BICSI certifications
- Experience with data center design or infrastructure environments
- Approximately 50% remote/work from home
- 25% onsite at customer/project sites
- 25% office collaboration and leadership meetings
During the first 6 months, the role will be heavily focused on onsite execution and supporting active project delivery efforts.
Preferred geographic areas include:
- Texas (DFW and Austin markets)
- Virginia
- Atlanta, GA
- New Jersey through Atlanta corridor
- Albany/Ohio region
