Senior Manager - Data Centre Infrastructure Delivery

About the role

Senior Manager - Data Centre Infrastructure Delivery is a senior leadership role based in India, focused on delivering mission-critical data centre infrastructure from design through construction, commissioning, and operational handover. You will oversee complex multidisciplinary programmes spanning civil and structural works, electrical infrastructure, power systems, HVAC, cooling, and integrated technologies, while ensuring facilities achieve resilience, redundancy, efficiency, and compliance with leading data centre standards. The position combines strategic oversight with hands-on technical leadership across the complete infrastructure delivery lifecycle, collaborating with engineering teams, contractors, technology partners, and other stakeholders. This is a remote, full-time position.

What you’ll do

• Lead the planning, design review, construction, commissioning, and handover of data centre and mission-critical infrastructure projects.
• Oversee civil, structural, architectural, and site development activities, ensuring projects meet technical, quality, safety, cost, and schedule requirements.
• Manage EPC contractors and other delivery partners while maintaining strong governance over project execution, quality assurance, health and safety, and construction performance.
• Lead electrical infrastructure delivery, including substations, medium- and low-voltage systems, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, and power distribution networks.
• Ensure power infrastructure delivers the required redundancy, resilience, and operational availability in line with Tier III/Tier IV requirements.
• Manage testing, commissioning, integrated testing, and operational-readiness activities across critical infrastructure systems.
• Oversee HVAC and cooling infrastructure, including chilled water, DX, CRAH/CRAC, precision cooling, hot/cold aisle containment, and thermal optimisation solutions.
• Coordinate the integration of cooling infrastructure with BMS and energy management platforms to support efficient and reliable operations.

What you’ll bring

• 12–15+ years of professional experience delivering data centre, mission-critical, or similarly complex infrastructure projects.
• Proven experience managing the complete data centre lifecycle from design and construction through commissioning and handover.
• Strong technical expertise across civil and structural construction, electrical infrastructure, HVAC and cooling systems, EPC project delivery, and testing and commissioning.
• Demonstrated experience with substations, MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, UPS, generators, and resilient power architectures.
• Strong understanding of critical cooling technologies, including chilled water, DX, CRAH/CRAC, precision cooling, thermal optimisation, and aisle containment.
• Working knowledge of ELV systems, BMS, SCADA, DCIM, digital monitoring, and integrated system technologies.
• Familiarity with Tier III/Tier IV, TIA-942, ASHRAE, and Uptime Institute standards and requirements.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Construction, Infrastructure, or a related technical discipline.
