The Technical Project Manager owns datacenter hardware projects across the full asset lifecycle — from initial buildout and infrastructure configuration, through steady-state operations handover, to end-of-life decommissioning and disposition.

This role is the single point of accountability that keeps complex, multi-vendor hardware programs on schedule, on budget, and on spec while coordinating engineering, facilities, supply chain, and vendor teams.

It is a delivery-focused role for someone equally comfortable in a project plan and on a datacenter floor, and who can translate technical detail into clear stakeholder communication.

• Plan and manage datacenter buildout projects end to end — site readiness, rack and power layout, cabling, and network fabric — against defined milestones
• Coordinate facilities, engineering, and vendor teams to deliver hardware installation on schedule and to spec
• Manage scope, dependencies, and site logistics across concurrent buildout efforts
• Drive the build and configuration of compute, storage, and network infrastructure to specification
• Manage burn-in, validation, and acceptance testing before production release
• Ensure configurations, firmware, and standards are consistent and documented across deployments
• Lead the transition of newly deployed infrastructure into steady-state operations
• Ensure runbooks, monitoring, documentation, and support ownership are in place before handover
• Confirm operations readiness and sign-off with receiving teams
