Principal Data Center MEP PM

A one-paragraph overview: The Principal Data Center MEP PM at Oracle collaborates with internal Oracle teams, construction partners, developer-led construction teams, QA/QC oversight teams, design consultants, commissioning agents, contractors, vendors, and other stakeholders to ensure that MEP scope is delivered safely, on schedule, with quality, and aligned with Oracle’s infrastructure standards. The role may suit candidates with an electrical or mechanical background, with a strong preference for experience managing electrical MEP systems in data center or mission-critical environments.

Responsibilities

• Support and oversee MEP delivery activities throughout the construction lifecycle, including planning, construction execution, QA/QC coordination, commissioning readiness, turnover, and closeout.
• Provide field-based project management support for MEP systems on hyperscale data center construction projects.
• Collaborate with construction teams, developer representatives, QA/QC oversight teams, general contractors, trade partners, and vendors to monitor MEP scope execution.
• Support delivery of electrical and/or mechanical systems, including power distribution, switchgear, UPS, generators, cooling systems, piping, controls, fire protection, and related infrastructure.
• Track project schedule, milestones, constraints, risks, and dependencies related to MEP construction activities.
• Review and monitor installation quality, field progress, construction documentation, issue resolution, and punch-list closure.
• Partner with QA/QC teams to support inspections, documentation, non-conformance tracking, corrective actions, and quality verification.
• Coordinate with commissioning teams to ensure systems are installed, tested, and turned over in accordance with project requirements.
• Identify risks, blockers, design conflicts, constructability issues, and schedule impacts; escalate issues with clear recommendations.
• Support review of RFIs, submittals, change impacts, field directives, and technical coordination items.
• Participate in construction meetings, MEP coordination meetings, look-ahead planning sessions, QA/QC reviews, and commissioning readiness discussions.
• Maintain clear communication with Oracle stakeholders regarding project status, progress, risks, and critical issues.
• Promote a strong safety culture and support compliance with site safety expectations and construction best practices.
• Help ensure data center infrastructure is delivered to Oracle’s performance, reliability, quality, and operational readiness standards.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience delivering data center, hyperscale, mission-critical, industrial, or large-scale construction projects, with direct experience supporting MEP construction on data center or mission-critical infrastructure.
• Experience with electrical MEP systems (medium-voltage distribution, switchgear, UPS, generators, transformers, power distribution, grounding, controls, and related systems); mechanical background may be considered with relevant data center MEP experience (cooling, chilled water, CRAH/CRAC, piping, pumps, air handling, fire protection, or controls).
• Prior experience on hyperscale data center projects.
• Strong understanding of construction project execution, field coordination, QA/QC processes, schedule tracking, and issue resolution.
• Experience working with general contractors, trade contractors, construction managers, developers, design teams, vendors, and commissioning teams.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, schedules, submittals, RFIs, and technical documentation.
• Strong communication skills to clearly summarize project risks, issues, status, and next steps.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced construction environment with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
• Willingness and ability to work approximately 85% on-site in the Abilene/Shackelford, Texas area, with local travel as needed.
• Preferred qualifications include a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field; strong electrical background in data center power infrastructure; experience with hyperscale cloud, colocation, or large enterprise data centers; familiarity with data center commissioning, turnover packages, and operational readiness; experience with project controls tools (Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Aconex, Bluebeam, SharePoint); QA/QC processes and punch-list management; knowledge of construction safety practices; professional certifications (PMP, CCM, PE, LEED); experience with developer-led delivery models; and ability to influence without direct authority while driving alignment across teams.
