Technical Program Manager
Take Ownership of One of the Largest Data Center Developments in the USAn exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Technical Program Manager – Engineering to take ownership of engineering delivery across a 3.6GW hyperscale data center campus in Austin, Texas. This is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role in one of the most ambitious data center developments in the market, supporting the next generation of AI and cloud infrastructure. Unlike traditional program management positions, this role offers significant autonomy, genuine ownership, and the opportunity to become the dedicated engineering program lead for a large-scale campus. Rather than overseeing multiple projects across different locations, you will be solely focused on this landmark 3.6GW development, taking responsibility for driving engineering programs from initial design through construction, commissioning, and operational handover. Working alongside experienced engineering and delivery teams, you will have the freedom to influence technical decisions, shape delivery strategies, and establish the processes required to successfully deliver infrastructure at an exceptional scale.
The Opportunity:
As Technical Program Manager, you will act as a key engineering lead for the Austin campus, ensuring the successful coordination and execution of complex mechanical, electrical, and infrastructure programs.
Key responsibilities include:
Take end-to-end ownership of engineering program delivery across the 3.6GW Austin campus.
Drive engineering activities from concept and detailed design through construction, commissioning, energization, and operational readiness.
Lead technical design reviews, ensuring alignment with the Basis of Design (BOD), engineering specifications, and operational requirements.
Oversee critical MEP infrastructure, including HV/MV electrical distribution, UPS systems, generators, cooling infrastructure, and associated systems.
Manage engineering consultants, contractors, equipment vendors, and external delivery partners.
Take ownership of engineering CAPEX planning, budget forecasting, risk management, and project reporting.
Coordinate closely with Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, and Operations teams to ensure seamless project execution.
Influence technical decisions, challenge designs, and proactively identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reliability, and project delivery.
Ensure engineering systems are designed and delivered to meet hyperscale availability, redundancy, and operational standards.
Drive successful commissioning, systems integration, and handover into live operations.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
Exceptional Scale: Work exclusively on a 3.6GW campus, offering exposure to infrastructure development at a scale rarely seen in the data center industry.
Genuine Autonomy: Take ownership of your engineering programs, influence key decisions, and have the freedom to shape how projects are delivered.
Single-Campus Focus: Rather than constantly travelling between multiple developments, you will be dedicated to one major Austin campus, allowing you to build deep project ownership and see the impact of your work.
High-Impact Position: Work directly with senior engineering and delivery stakeholders, playing an integral role in the successful execution of a landmark hyperscale development.
Long-Term Growth: Join a rapidly expanding global data center platform with an ambitious development pipeline and significant opportunities for career progression.
What We're Looking For:
Strong background in data center engineering, technical program management, design delivery, or MEP project management.
Experience delivering hyperscale, colocation, or other large-scale mission-critical infrastructure projects.
Solid understanding of mechanical and electrical data center systems, including redundancy, resilience, and operational requirements.
Experience reviewing engineering designs, managing external consultants, and coordinating construction and commissioning activities.
Strong commercial awareness, including CAPEX management, forecasting, procurement, and project risk.
Ability to independently manage complex engineering programs and confidently engage with senior technical stakeholders.
Previous experience working for a data center developer, hyperscaler, owner/operator, or major mission-critical engineering contractor would be highly advantageous.
