From the original posting

The role

As Facilities Readiness Lead, you will set the standard for when a Volta facility is ready to receive network and compute. You will own the readiness criteria and release process that every DSX site uses to hand space over for installation and turn-up.

This is an expert-level individual contributor role. Reporting to the Senior Director, Global Commissioning & Handover, you will set direction across construction, commissioning, operations and deployment teams, and your recommendation will decide whether an area is released, conditionally released or held.

What you will do

Readiness standard

Own Volta's global facilities readiness standard: criteria, evidence, approvals and release process by building, hall or zone.
Set the governance for readiness decisions and exceptions across all sites.
Set requirements for access, safety, fire protection, housekeeping and temporary arrangements in live and phased sites.

Release decisions

Recommend release, conditional release or deferral to delivery leadership, and escalate readiness risks early.
Align readiness with GPU deployment, network delivery and turn-up dates.
Make sure asset information, drawings and operating instructions reach receiving teams.

Improvement

Use deployment lessons to evolve the standard.

What we are looking for

Expert-level experience in data centre construction, commissioning, facilities engineering or technical handover, typically 9 to 12 years.
A track record setting readiness or acceptance processes across multiple sites or teams.
Strong understanding of power, cooling, controls and physical infrastructure dependencies.
Sound judgement on readiness risk and confidence making release calls with senior stakeholders.
Ability to drive multiple disciplines to closure without direct authority.

Nice to have

Releasing facilities for high-density GPU installations.
Phased delivery in live or partially operational sites.
Repeatable acceptance processes across a portfolio.

Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary
Retirement/pension contributions
Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits
Generous number of vacation days each year
