• Track and report project progress, budget forecasts, and risk status to internal stakeholders and leadership, ensuring timely escalation of issues that may impact site readiness
• Collaborate with logistics, vendor, and supplier partners to coordinate material procurement and delivery schedules that support on-time connectivity activation at leased sites
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of connectivity standards, installation procedures, and lessons-learned documentation applicable across the leased data center portfolio
• Travel - Position is remote and will require a minimum of 50% travel

Minimum Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in connectivity engineering, telecommunications infrastructure, or data center project management within leased or colocation environments
• Experience evaluating and delivering fiber optic and structured cabling infrastructure, including outside plant and inside plant deployments
• Experience coordinating with carriers, colocation providers, or landlords to deliver network connectivity solutions in mission-critical facilities
• Experience managing cross-functional projects involving real estate, network engineering, and construction stakeholders from initiation through operational turnover
• Experience with fiber optic testing methodologies, including OTDR and OLTS, and interpreting test results to validate installation quality

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with data center infrastructure standards such as TIA-942, BICSI, or equivalent frameworks as applied to colocation and leased facility environments
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize project workflows, improve reporting accuracy, or drive measurable efficiency gains in infrastructure delivery
• Experience using project management or scheduling tools such as Primavera P6 or MS Project to manage complex, multi-site connectivity programs
