Job Description Critical Projects Implementation has an immediate opening for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the development, standardization, and deployment of Method of Procedures (MOPs) for data center infrastructure projects.
This role is responsible for delivering high-quality, safety-critical technical procedures that support reliable and timely execution of mission-critical work across multiple data center sites. The TPM will act as a central point of coordination between engineering, operations, construction, and regional stakeholders that rely on consistent, approved procedures to execute infrastructure changes. The role owns the full lifecycle of procedural development, including requirements definition, authoring, technical review coordination, approval workflow management, and
site deployment. Success in this role requires strong technical writing skills, working knowledge of data center electrical systems, and the ability to balance safety, quality, and delivery timelines in a high-risk environment.
This position will contribute to the maturation of standardized work frameworks, helping reduce approval timelines and improve repeatability across sites. The role offers the opportunity to influence how technical procedures are developed, reviewed, and scaled across the organization.

- Coordinate technical reviews and revisions with engineering authorities and site leadership
- Manage approval workflows through governance and policy processes
- Act as escalation point for procedural issues, tradeoffs, and execution risks
- Balance business priorities with technical constraints, including safety, quality, and accuracy
- Partner cross-functionally with engineering, operations, construction, and program teams
- Support deployment of approved standardized procedures across multiple sites
- Track approval timelines, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement

- 3+ years of experience working directly in data center operations, construction, commissioning, or critical facilities
- Demonstrated experience authoring Method of Procedures (MOPs) for mission-critical systems
- Strong technical writing experience with MOPs, SOPs, work instructions, or comparable technical procedures
- Working knowledge of data center electrical systems, including UPS, generators, switchgear, busway, PDUs, and ATSs
- Familiarity with electrical safety practices, circuit verification, and controlled switching activities
- Ability to read and interpret electrical one-line diagrams, panel schedules, and technical documentation
- Experience managing cross-functional technical reviews and approval workflows
- Proven ability to drive work to completion in ambiguous, fast-paced environments
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
Preferred Qualifications- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Facilities Management, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent industry experience
- Experience working closely with engineering authorities, site leadership, or principal-level engineers
- Background in commissioning or integrated systems testing
- Experience scaling or standardizing technical procedures across multiple sites or regions
- Familiarity with formal change management and governance processes
