What you will do as a Project Director, Mission Critical:

Delivery leadership

• Own cost, schedule, quality, safety and client satisfaction on all mission-critical projects.
• Lead pre-construction scoping on new opportunities: delivery approach, risk, budget and schedule, in close coordination with business development.
• Deliver against each client’s milestone framework, from pre-construction start through early access, commissioning handoff and close-out, with disciplined schedule and risk governance.
  
• Direct project teams through construction and MEP integration and lead the path through commissioning (all Levels) to turnover, so that systems are energized safely, proven and handed to the client’s operations team ready to run.
• Run delivery governance: project reviews, forecasting, change management, risk and escalation.

Live environment delivery

• Lead construction in and next to live, operating facilities, where one error can interrupt client operations.
• Own the planning of phased work and system transitions so that construction proceeds without reducing the availability or resilience of the client’s operating systems.

• Contribute to business development initiatives through site assessments, technical evaluations, and constructability expertise to support project opportunities.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with design consultants, specialized trade partners, equipment vendors, utility providers, and commissioning agents to drive alignment, collaboration, and successful project delivery.

Team and capability building

• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing construction team, establishing the talent, leadership capacity, and organizational structure required to support a growing portfolio of mission-critical projects.
• Establish and continuously improve standardized mission-critical project delivery practices, including execution frameworks, procurement strategies, and commissioning protocols.
• Drive consistency, knowledge sharing, and operational alignment across Broccolini markets to establish a unified  mission-critical construction practice.

• Experience working with diverse client operating models, including enterprise, colocation, and hyperscale, with the ability to adapt to demanding technical and operational standards.
• Strong technical expertise in power distribution, cooling systems, MEP coordination, long-lead equipment procurement, and commissioning, with the ability to challenge technical solutions and drive constructability improvements.
• Demonstrated success managing significant project budgets, leading multidisciplinary teams, and delivering complex projects within established financial and schedule objectives.
• Proven safety leadership in managing high-risk construction activities while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements and stringent client safety standards.
• Strong commitment to quality management, documentation control, and compliance with client-specific digital platforms, data standards, and project delivery requirements.
