    • Project Coordination :

  • Collaborate with internal teams—including Construction, Engineering, Procurement, and Solutions Engineering—to ensure alignment on project goals and timelines.
  • Manage RFP processes for contractor selection, evaluate bids, and recommend vendors that deliver high-quality execution at competitive pricing.
  • Manage, direct, and coordinate the activities of internal or contracted personnel or third parties who are providing services or performing on-site installations.

    • Process Oversight :

  • Track project milestones and deliverables, proactively identifying and mitigating potential delays or bottlenecks.
  • Ensure all equipment fit-outs and installations meet Prime Data Centers’ quality, budgetary, and timeline standards.

    • Stakeholder Communication :

  • Provide regular updates to customers and internal stakeholders on project progress, milestones, and any adjustments to timelines or budgets.
  • Document and report on project costs, comparing actual expenditures to budget estimates.

    • Compliance & Standards :

  • Ensure all designs and project plans comply with relevant regulations, industry standards, and Prime Data Centers’ internal guidelines.

    • Qualifications :
