• Leverage firsthand experience executing data center or other mission critical projects and operating within demanding mission critical environments.
• Understand the unique requirements of data center customers, including uptime, safety, schedule, quality, reliability, and operational risk.
• Provide leadership and technical perspective to project and delivery teams.
• Build strong relationships with owners, operators, providers, and other industry stakeholders.

Requirements

The ideal candidate is an experienced operations leader who combines industry expertise, strong people leadership, financial acumen, and exceptional execution discipline.

Required / Preferred Qualifications

• 5–10+ years of experience leading large, geographically dispersed teams, with increasing levels of operational responsibility.
• Demonstrated experience leading operations in the BAS/HVAC controls industry, with data center experience strongly preferred.

They will bring the credibility to lead in demanding mission critical environments while possessing the organizational leadership skills to build teams, develop leaders, and create the systems required for sustainable growth.

They are equally comfortable discussing technical execution with a project team, financial performance with business leaders, and strategic priorities with an executive or customer.
