The Delivery Lead sits inside the embedded project team, working directly to the Project Delivery Manager to keep day-to-day delivery moving across every discipline — design, procurement, execution, safety, quality, and controls. Where the Project Delivery Manager owns overall accountability for the project, the Delivery Lead owns the coordination that keeps it running smoothly week to week.

You will track progress across workstreams, surface issues before they become blockers, and make sure the project's various leads are pulling in the same direction against the same plan. This is a hands-on coordination role for someone who thrives on keeping complex projects organized and moving.

• Coordinate day-to-day delivery activities across design, procurement, execution, safety, quality and controls workstreams

• Track progress against the project plan and flag emerging risks or delays early

• Run regular cross-discipline coordination meetings and follow up on actions

• Support the Project Delivery Manager with day-to-day decision-making and problem-solving

• Maintain clear, up-to-date project documentation and status reporting

• Help resolve interface issues between disciplines before they affect schedule or cost

• Support readiness planning ahead of key milestones and stage gates

• Assist with onboarding new team members and contractors into project processes

• Escalate significant issues to the Project Delivery Manager with clear context and options

• Experience coordinating delivery on data center or complex capital projects

• Strong organizational skills, comfortable tracking multiple workstreams in parallel

• Good judgment on when to resolve an issue directly versus **escalate**

• Clear communication skills, able to keep multiple stakeholders aligned

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on project environment

• Willingness to be based on-site as required by the project

• Experience specifically on data center or MEP-heavy construction projects

• Familiarity with project controls tools and reporting practices

• Background progressing toward a Project Delivery Manager role
