As a highly motivated Program Manager, you will provide management of large-scale data centers, computer farms, networking, AC and DC power distribution/conversion, and cooling systems at multiple scales.

You'll conceptualize and describe the delivery of a data center facility from start to commissioning, and understand the nuances and risks that you and your team will need to manage through along the way.
