Senior Connectivity Infrastructure Project ManagerMission Critical Data Center Infrastructure

Location: Aiken, SC

Type: Contract

Overview

We are seeking a Senior infrastructure professional to support mission-critical data center deployments and connectivity programs within hyperscale environments.

This role sits at the intersection of connectivity infrastructure, critical facilities, construction execution, commissioning, and project delivery. The ideal candidate has experience leading complex deployments involving structured cabling, fiber infrastructure, network connectivity, commissioning activities, vendor management, and mission-critical systems.
