Data Center - IT Infrastructure Technical Project Manager

Posted: 2026-10-07

Acceptance & operational readiness of new sites and clusters

Represent IT Operations in new site and cluster projects from the planning stage: define acceptance criteria and operational readiness requirements upfront, before build starts.

Own the acceptance process: readiness assessments, acceptance testing against agreed criteria, punch lists, operational sign-off. Acceptance is mandatory — no site or cluster moves into operations without it.

Prepare operations for takeover: operational procedures, tooling, documentation, on-site processes, spares and vendor support in place before sign-off.

Manage the transition period from Project team to IT Operations, including defect follow-up and closure of open items after handover.

Operations projects & change management in live DCs

Manage and deliver IT infrastructure projects and change requests in production data centers: hardware deployments and replacements, capacity changes in accepted clusters, network and cabling changes, decommissioning.

Own the change lifecycle for DC IT infrastructure: change requests, risk and impact assessment, MOPs, maintenance windows, rollback plans, post-implementation review.

Manage risks and dependencies in live environments; proactively identify technical, operational and process issues and drive them to resolution.

Stakeholders, communication & documentation

Lead communication with all stakeholders: transparent progress reporting, expectation management, escalation of critical blockers, timely decision-making.

Lead project meetings, technical reviews and operational readiness discussions with a focus on clear ownership, actionable outcomes and execution.

Maintain project and operational documentation: acceptance criteria and reports, risk registers, issue logs, operational procedures, handover documentation, deployment reports.

Cross-functional coordination & operational excellence

Coordinate engineering, infrastructure, network, security, procurement, hardware lifecycle and operations teams across acceptance and operational phases.
