Job description

About Our Company:
Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Cologix is a leading North America network-neutral interconnection and hyperscale edge data center company. Our platform gives customers access to 45+ digital edge and Scalelogix hyperscale edge data centers in 13 markets across the United States and Canada along with a carrier-dense ecosystem of 710+ networks, 360+ cloud providers, 35+ onramps and seven Internet exchanges. We provide our nearly 2,000 customers with direct access to our local operations teams, resulting in strong partnerships enabled by exceptional operational support and unparalleled customer service. Backed by one of the largest North American infrastructure funds, Cologix's experienced leadership team, certified staff and commitment to ESG initiatives help form a culture that values our people, our environment and our clients.

About the Position

We're looking for a Director of Infrastructure to define and lead how critical electrical and mechanical systems are designed, scaled, and governed across our data center platform.

This is a high-impact, enterprise-level role-not a site operations position. You'll set the standards for redundancy, capacity, safety, and infrastructure risk, ensuring our environments are built and operated with consistency, resilience, and long-term intent. If you've led in mission-critical environments and want to shape how infrastructure is governed-not just operated-this role is built for that.

Own the strategy behind mission-critical infrastructure at scale.

What You Do Daily
  • Own and govern enterprise infrastructure strategy, standards, and long-term direction for electrical and mechanical systems across data center locations
  • Define redundancy philosophy, reliability targets, maintenance standards, and infrastructure risk posture to ensure consistency across sites
  • Own infrastructure lifecycle and capacity planning, including refresh cycles, load assumptions, margin policies, and expansion sequencing to support sustainable growth
  • Lead enterprise vendor governance and performance for critical infrastructure providers, including OEM relationships and service standards
  • Establish safety, compliance, and energy efficiency frameworks, ensuring alignment with reliability, sustainability, and regulatory requirements
  • Provide final approval for major infrastructure decisions, including customer solutions, high-density deployments, and non-standard configurations
  • Partner cross-functionally and review systemic risks and performance trends to drive enterprise alignment and corrective action
  • Engage, when required, in service assurance/outage mitigation process as an escalation point.
What Makes You a Good Fit
  • You've led mission-critical infrastructure in data centers or similar environments
  • You understand redundancy, capacity, and reliability at a systems level-not just component level
  • You're comfortable owning standards, risk decisions, and long-term direction
  • You make sound calls under pressure and can balance uptime, cost, and growth
  • You know how to influence across teams without creating confusion in ownership

Leadership Profile

  • Sets the bar for infrastructure standards and holds teams accountable to them
  • Brings both technical credibility and strategic clarity
  • Aligns teams without overreaching into site-level execution
  • Builds strong, capable infrastructure organizations
  • Uses data and trends to drive decisions-not assumptions

What Success Looks Like

  • Redundancy standards and infrastructure risk posture are clearly defined, consistently applied, and protected across all locations
  • Capacity and lifecycle planning are accurate, forward-looking, and aligned with growth and long-term resilience
  • Infrastructure decisions reflect deliberate governance rather than reactive or site-specific variation
  • Vendors perform to defined standards with strong accountability and minimal systemic risk
  • Safety, compliance, and efficiency frameworks are consistent, audit-ready, and sustainably improving performance
  • Infrastructure teams are structured with the right depth and leadership to support scale and reliability

Qualifications

  • 10+ years in mission-critical facilities, data centers, or similar environments
  • 5+ years in leadership roles with multi-site or enterprise scope
  • Strong knowledge of electrical and mechanical infrastructure (UPS, generators, cooling, etc.)
  • Experience with capacity planning, infrastructure standards, and vendor management
  • Solid understanding of safety, compliance, and risk in critical environments
  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical teams and executive stakeholders
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)

***Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or transfer sponsorship of an employment visa at this time, including CPT/OPT.***
