  • Ensure governance, documentation, and project controls align with best-in-class project management practices.
  • Oversee commissioning, O&M transition, and final documentation, ensuring a seamless handover process.

Qualifications

  • PMP certification and 12–15 years of project management experience, with 5+ years in data center or mission-critical environments.
  • Fluency in Mandarin and English (spoken and written), with strong cross-cultural communication skills.
  • Proven success delivering fast-track COLO projects under tight schedules and quality constraints.
  • Deep technical knowledge of MEP, C&S, EHS, commissioning, and operational integration.
  • High integrity, ethical leadership, and the ability to foster performance-driven teams.
