Accountabilities

Technical Scope and Engineering Coordination: Support the definition and validation of Owner-Furnished, Contractor-Installed (OFCI) equipment scopes in collaboration with data center design, engineering, and construction teams. Review technical specifications, single-line diagrams, equipment layouts, and datasheets to ensure compliance with project requirements, redundancy standards, fault tolerance, and uptime targets.

Vendor Selection and Technical Procurement: Prepare and issue Requests for Quotation (RFQs) and Requests for Proposal (RFPs) for critical infrastructure equipment. Coordinate technical and commercial bid evaluations, conduct vendor interviews and design alignment workshops, and support contract negotiations covering performance guarantees, availability, factory acceptance testing (FAT), delivery milestones, and warranties.

Critical Equipment Procurement: Coordinate procurement activities for long-lead, mission-critical infrastructure equipment, including electrical systems such as generators, medium- and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, PDUs, and busways; mechanical systems such as chillers, cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC units, pumps, and heat exchangers; and monitoring and control systems such as BMS, EPMS, SCADA, and protection and control systems.

Manufacturing, Testing, and Quality Control: Monitor vendor engineering, manufacturing, and testing schedules. Review technical drawings, protection studies, and control logic, coordinate factory inspections and FAT activities, and support integrated systems testing where applicable. Manage non-conformances, corrective actions, and technical change control throughout the procurement process.

Logistics, Delivery, and Installation Readiness: Support logistics strategies for oversized and critical equipment, coordinating international transportation, customs clearance, and just-in-time deliveries. Ensure appropriate equipment preservation, storage, and environmental controls at project sites, and contribute to installation readiness reviews and contractor handovers.

Schedule, Risk, and Interface Management: Track long-lead procurement items and activities against project critical paths. Identify and mitigate risks related to equipment availability, supplier lead times, manufacturing capacity, and supply chain disruptions. Coordinate interfaces between OFCI equipment and contractor-installed systems while providing regular procurement progress and risk reports to project leadership.

Documentation, Commissioning, and Handover: Ensure the completeness and accuracy of technical documentation, as-built drawings, operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, and warranties. Support commissioning, integrated systems testing (IST), and final equipment handover to operations teams, ensuring all OFCI packages meet data center operational requirements.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, Supply Chain Management, Project Management, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of professional experience and technical training.

At least 5 years of experience in technical procurement, engineering, or a related field within data centers or other mission-critical facilities.

Demonstrated experience procuring long-lead, high-reliability Owner-Furnished, Contractor-Installed (OFCI) equipment.

Strong technical understanding of critical electrical power and mechanical cooling systems used in data center environments.

Practical experience with factory acceptance testing (FAT), commissioning activities, and coordination with engineering, construction, and installation contractors.

Ability to evaluate technical specifications, assess vendor compliance, review engineering documentation, and support complex procurement decisions.

Experience managing critical equipment suppliers, manufacturing schedules, quality requirements, and delivery milestones.

Strong understanding of procurement planning, supply chain risk management, and project schedule control, particularly for long-lead equipment.
