Technical Project Manager – AI Compute & Data Center Infrastructure
MegaportAbout the role
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to spearhead the strategy, design vetting, and end-to-end delivery of our next-generation, high-density AI Data Center footprint. In this role, you will bridge the gap between abstract capacity needs and physical execution, serving as the primary orchestrator for complex, high-capacity GPU cluster deployments.
You will lead pre-approval technical vetting (evaluating space, power, cooling, and network floor plans before site acquisition) and take ownership of the full deployment lifecycle through to operational handoff.
Proactive and a self-starter, you must be highly organized with the ability to manage competing priorities. Driven and motivated, you can operate both autonomously and in a collaborative team environment, coordinating across multiple internal groups and external vendors to deliver comprehensive high-capacity GPU cluster deployments.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Technical Design & Floorplan Vetting:
-
Review, design, and vet floor plans
-
Create High-Level Designs
-
Plan power distributions and cooling architectures.
-
Work alongside engineering and vendor partners prior to purchasing or leasing data center space.
-
Infrastructure Planning:
-
Conduct technical diligence on data center facilities.
-
Validate that physical infrastructure (power redundancy, floor loading, high-density liquid/air cooling capabilities) aligns with massive AI/GPU compute requirements (multi-MW deployments, liquid-cooled racks at 100kW+, NVIDIA clusters).
-
End-to-End Project Ownership:
-
Manage the complete project lifecycle for high-capacity GPU cluster deployments.
-
Drive progress from pre-approval site vetting through infrastructure design, physical implementation, cabling, commissioning, documentation, and final operational handoff.
-
Cross-Functional Coordination:
-
Serve as the central hub aligning Data Center operators, Network Engineering, Hardware Systems, Facilities, Procurement, and Enterprise IT teams around unified goals and timelines.
-
Milestone & Progress Tracking:
-
Establish critical paths, schedule dependencies, and project milestones.
-
Actively monitor progress while holding internal teams and external vendors accountable for updates.
-
Risk Management & Quality Control:
-
Proactively identify spatial, power, or logistical constraints early in the planning process.
-
Mitigate post-procurement delays, budget overruns, and technical bottlenecks.
-
Reporting & Governance:
-
Maintain accurate project documentation, inventory tracking, and transparent status reporting for executive leadership and stakeholders.
What We Are Looking For
-
Technical knowledge and a proven track record delivering complex hardware infrastructure or data center engineering projects.
-
5+ years of technical project management experience in high-density or infrastructure environments.
-
Strong familiarity with DC facility design, power delivery systems, thermal management, and spatial planning for high-density environments.
