About the Role
The Fiber Deployment Engineer is an individual contributor role accountable for driving delivery onsite, within our data centers. This role makes the magic happen onsite, partnering with third-parties and acting as a partner, QA/QC engineer, and escalation point of contact. You will own the reporting of progress, executive communications, technical troubleshooting, and technical engagement with our LV partners.
This role serves as a critical connective function across internal teams, ensuring stakeholders are aligned on priorities, dependencies, risks, decisions, and execution plans required to deliver data center capacity successfully.
You will partner closely with AI, Data Center Development, Design & Construction, Engineering, Power & Utilities, Network, Operations, and Executive Leadership to create a single operating rhythm across complex infrastructure programs. You will be accountable for driving day-to-day progress onsite.
The ideal candidate has deep, onsite experience running GPU and network deployments. This individual will have worked within network operations, data center operations, deployment or network scaling functions. You should be highly effective at partnering with internal teams and external vendors, influencing without authority, aligning senior stakeholders, unblocking decisions, and solving technical problems on the fly.
What You'll be Doing
Onsite Vendor Engagement & Management
- Act as the central coordination and alignment point across internal and external teams involved in data center infrastructure delivery and fiber deployment.
- Build programs from ambiguous ideas and drive real value (financial, timeline, or risk avoidance). From idea to execution, delivery must be in the forefront of your mind.
- Establish clear communication channels, decision forums, escalation paths, and operating rhythms to keep stakeholders aligned across the full delivery lifecycle.
- Drive alignment on program priorities, delivery milestones, ownership, dependencies, risk mitigation plans, and executive decisions required to maintain momentum.
- Proactively identify areas of misalignment, ambiguity, or competing priorities and facilitate resolution with the appropriate stakeholders.
- Translate complex technical, commercial, operational, and financial inputs into clear, actionable plans and decision points for leadership.
Onsite Leadership
- Act as the point person for onsite fiber deployment for one site or a collection of sites in APAC.
- When bespoke solutions are created onsite, this individual should be comfortable finding ways to scale those solutions globally.
- Drive onsite engagement with internal partner teams and external vendors.
- Partner with program managers across the business on executive communication, cross-functional influence, issue resolution, and structured decision-making.
- Raise the capability of the wider delivery community through playbooks, templates, reviews, and hands-on coaching on live programs.
- Advise executive leadership on delivery risk, technical issues, regular blockers and solutions.
- Promote a delivery culture grounded in service, accountability, transparency, and business impact.
- Experience: 3+ years of experience driving fiber or GPU deployments in large-scale, complex infrastructure or physical deployment projects.
- Technical Domain Knowledge: Strong foundational understanding of data center infrastructure, distributed systems, and networking concepts.
- Willingness to travel to project sites regularly (50-75%+ of time).
- Exceptional organizational, communication, and presentation skills.
- Experience in a hyperscale or public cloud environment supporting 24/7 mission-critical services.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with end-to-end data center lifecycle management, including site development, power, utilities, design, procurement, construction, commissioning, network, security, and operations handoff.
- Familiarity with data center power infrastructure, utility interconnection, substations, generators, switchgear, cooling systems, and MEP dependencies.
- Experience implementing or operating within program delivery tooling such as Smartsheet, Jira, Asana, Monday.com, MS Project, Primavera P6, Power BI, Tableau, or similar systems.
- Experience standing up or scaling a program delivery operating model in a high-growth infrastructure organization.
- PMP, PgMP, Agile, Lean Six Sigma, or similar certification preferred but not required.
