You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

In this role, you will provide leadership and Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) direction in the safe design of new infrastructure products and data center building designs. You will aim to mitigate risk downstream to the employees, partners, and the environment across the data center lifecycle. You will engage with all levels of employees and leadership to continuously improve existing design for safety standards and processes. You will work with key stakeholders in engineering, project management, construction, operations and EHS as well as external partners to continuously evaluate program risks, opportunities, and develop work plans to execute on agreed objectives.
