About Overwatch ConstructionOverwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the national veterans business development council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor for the mission-critical infrastructure industry.Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's purpose.
Role OverviewThe Site OFE Coordinator is the central point of contact for all Owner Furnished Equipment (OFE) on-site. This role ensures that multi-million dollar equipment—critical to data center operations—is accurately tracked, communicated, and delivered without delaying the construction schedule. You act as the primary liaison between the vendors, the General Contractor (GC), and the Owner’s project team.
Key Responsibilities1. Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination

• Primary Interface: Serve as the main link between equipment vendors and the site-level GC management team.
• Meeting Leadership: Lead weekly Site OFE Meetings to ensure all parties are aligned on delivery dates and installation requirements.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate off-site equipment activities with the GC and subcontractors to ensure site readiness.

2. Risk & Schedule Management

• Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify and escalate any logistical or manufacturing risks that could impact site progress.
• Schedule Oversight: Conduct regular reviews of the construction schedule to ensure equipment deliveries align with the "critical path."
• Delay Notification: Immediately notify stakeholders of potential vendor delays or quality issues and collaborate on corrective action plans.

3. Financial & Quality Tracking

• PO Change Management: Track and report on site-level Purchase Order (PO) changes, ensuring all financial adjustments are documented.
• Progress Reporting: Provide regular updates on delivery milestones and verify that arriving equipment meets all quality compliance standards.
• Document Control: Maintain accurate logs of all equipment-related correspondence and technical specifications.

Interview Spotlight: What Managers Are Looking For1. Logistical Precision

• Managers want to know if the candidate can track hundreds of pieces of equipment simultaneously. Do they have a system for ensuring nothing "falls through the cracks"?

2. Conflict Resolution ("The Middle Man")

• This role sits between the vendor (who may be late) and the GC (who needs the gear now). Can the candidate navigate these high-pressure conversations and find a middle ground?

3. Proactive Communication

• The client doesn't want to find out there is a delay on the day the truck is supposed to arrive. Managers are looking for someone who identifies risks weeks in advance.

4. Technical Familiarity

• While not an engineering role, the candidate needs to understand what they are looking at (e.g., Chillers, Generators, Switchgear) to accurately report on quality or delivery issues.

Driver’s License Requirement:For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.

Physical Requirements and Work EnvironmentThis position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.
