This role blends deep domain expertise with execution leadership to ensure **bulk fiber, structured cabling, and network telecom construction,** delivered by colocation providers and installation partners; meets OCI's **global standards** , and is completed **on time, within budget, and to the highest quality** . Reporting to the **Vice President of Data Center Delivery** , you own delivery excellence end-to-end: **design coordination and review, installation execution oversight, change order management, cost/schedule tracking, testing/commissioning readiness, certification, and turnover** . You lead executive-level site walks, validate that construction aligns to **owner design intent** and applicable industry standards, and drive robust **QA/QC programs** across all low-voltage activities. You also oversee the creation, review, and maintenance of critical delivery documentation, including **design review packages, commissioning plans, acceptance criteria, and issue/problem-resolution papers** . As the primary point of contact between OCI and colocation providers and cabling partners, you set clear accountability, escalate risks early, and drive cross-functional alignment to resolve delivery blockers. You participate in **vendor selection, contract negotiation, and ongoing performance management** for contractors and suppliers, ensuring compliance with contract terms and adherence to approved designs and specifications. You continuously identify systemic gaps in **risk identification and mitigation** , and lead organization-wide initiatives that improve consistency, efficiency, predictability, and quality across programs-supporting rack-level deployments that include **networking and structured cabling** (and associated infrastructure interfaces required for GPU-ready buildouts). Responsibilities Key Responsibilities Technical Leadership & Expertise + Serve as the design and construction subject-matter expert for bulk fiber and structured cabling systems. + Define and enforce technical standards, design guidelines, and installation specifications for OCI's global campus builds. + Review and approve vendor designs, submittals, and testing packages to ensure full compliance with OCI standards. Vendor Management & Execution Oversight + Manage low-voltage vendors responsible for installation, testing, and commissioning across multiple GW scale concurrent projects. + Track and manage vendor scope, schedule, and cost performance, driving accountability and resolving execution issues quickly. + Lead the change order process, validating scope impacts, pricing accuracy, and alignment with project budget and commercial terms. + Coordinate vendor procurement, resource planning, and delivery sequencing to support aggressive global build schedules. + Ensure that all work complies with OCI specifications, manufacturer warranty standards, and regional regulations. GPU Liquid-Cooled Rack Megaprojects + Serve as the technical and delivery lead for GPU-intensive data hall builds, managing low-voltage integration for liquid-cooled rack systems at hyperscale. + Coordinate with mechanical, electrical, and liquid-cooling design teams to ensure seamless integration of low-voltage controls, sensors, and network pathways supporting infrastructure. + Collaborate with OCI hardware and operations stakeholders to validate system performance and serviceability under production loads. Program Integration & Design Coordination + Partner with internal design, hardware, and construction teams to ensure low-voltage systems are fully integrated into data hall and base-building infrastructure. + Support the development of design packages, material submittals, and as-built documentation. + Identify design and constructability risks early, and implement mitigation plans with vendors and internal stakeholders. Quality, Standards & Compliance + Develop and oversee testing, certification, and QA/QC procedures for low-voltage systems, including structured cabling and controls networks. + Drive consistency in installation quality, documentation, and performance validation across all global builds. + Ensure all installations meet OCI standards, local codes, and manufacturer warranty requirements. Innovation & Continuous Improvement + Introduce prefabrication strategies, modularization, and digital field tools to accelerate low-voltage delivery. + Partner with vendors to pilot new technologies that improve reliability and deployment speed. + Capture lessons learned and lead technical reviews to refine OCI's global standards and delivery models. Cross-Functional Influence + Act as the primary low-voltage liaison between OCI's engineering, construction, and operations organizations. + Provide executive-level reporting on vendor performance, risks, and key project milestones. + Mentor internal and external partners to strengthen global alignment on standards, documentation, and delivery practices. Rack Deployment Readiness Coordination + Coordinate cross-functional readiness for rack deployment, ensuring all low-voltage systems (structured cabling, security, BMS) are fully validated prior to hardware installation. + Partner with data hall design, construction, and operations teams to confirm power, cooling, and network interconnects are complete and tested ahead of rack arrivals. + Lead rack mapping and patching validation, ensuring network connectivity aligns with OCI's standardized port and pathway architecture. + Oversee vendor and site readiness checklists, tracking closeout items, commissioning status, and milestone completion to support on-time rack installation. + Interface with hardware engineering and logistics teams to sequence rack deployment in alignment with project schedules and operational acceptance. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Valven Atlas: Engineering Intelligence That Delivers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1660-valven-atlas-engineering-intelligence-that-delivers) - [How Data is Shaping our Games](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/176-how-data-is-shaping-our-games) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026)
