Principal, Technical Program Manager - Power Generation

Fleet Data Centers designs, builds and operates mega-scale data center campuses.  Fleet provides its customers with flexibility and predictability to meet their upside demand forecasts, addressing a key need in the market as traditional leased models are struggling to keep pace with the demand for new Cloud and AI infrastructure.  Fleet is led by a team of industry veterans that have already made a lasting imprint on the evolution of global digital infrastructure and are committed and uniquely capable of upleveling data center development scale and operations in the face of rising demand. Fleet is well positioned to bring in-house design, engineering and operational capabilities to collaborate with customers on tailored solutions for campuses of 500MW+.  This unique model enables Fleet to provide the world’s largest and most sophisticated customers with a seamless extension of their own data center fleets with constant access to design innovation. Fleet is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with satellite offices in Seattle, WA and Arlington, VA.

The Power Generation Technical Program Manager (TPM) leads the planning and execution of behind-the-meter (BTM) and utility-adjacent power generation projects that support large-scale data center campuses. This role sits within Infrastructure Delivery and bridges engineering, procurement, construction, and financing to deliver reliable, cost-effective generation aligned to customer lease structures.

You will own the integrated scope–schedule–cost–risk framework for power generation workstreams, ensuring that substation, BTM plants, interconnects, and related systems are delivered safely, on time, and within the commercial terms agreed with customers and lenders.

How will you make a difference?

Program Leadership

• Lead end-to-end BTM / on-site power generation and related substation workstreams from early feasibility through COD and turnover.
• Translate commercial agreements  into clear technical and delivery requirements for internal teams and vendors.
• Develop and maintain integrated program roadmaps, clearly identifying critical paths, interfaces with utility power, and data center milestones.

Scope, Schedule, and Cost Management

• Define and maintain a work breakdown structure (WBS) and integrated CPM schedule (e.g., P6) for power generation scope, including engineering, equipment procurement, construction, commissioning, and tie‑ins.
• Coordinate closely with Project Controls and Cost Management to align power generation budgets with overall campus economics and Budget targets.
• Track progress, risks, and variances; propose mitigations and re-sequencing where required to protect data center delivery dates.
• Support development and management of change events (scope changes, design evolution, utility changes) including schedule and cost impact analysis.

Technical Coordination

• Partner with Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil/Structural Engineering to ensure generation, substation, and distribution designs meet reliability, safety, and performance requirements (e.g., NERC, local code, redundancy, emissions).
• Coordinate with BTM providers, OEMs, EPCs, and utilities on technical scope, interconnection requirements, protection schemes, and control integration.
• Drive resolution of key technical decisions (e.g., technology selection, ramp strategy, redundancy levels, emissions controls) in alignment with customer needs and long‑term portfolio strategy.

Procurement & Vendor Management

• Work with Supply Chain & Procurement to plan and execute procurement of long-lead equipment (e.g., generators, turbines, switchgear, transformers, emissions systems).
• Maintain line-of-sight to OFCI equipment schedules, factory test dates, logistics, and site readiness, ensuring alignment with project milestones.
• Support vendor selection, contract scoping, and performance management, including KPIs for schedule, cost, and quality.

Risk, Compliance, and Stakeholder Management

• Identify and maintain a risk register for power generation scope (e.g., permitting, interconnect delays, regulatory changes, fuel supply, performance guarantees) and develop mitigation plans.
• Coordinate with Legal, Environmental, and Regulatory teams to ensure compliance with permits, emissions requirements, and safety standards.
• Provide clear, concise status updates (dash
