Program Lead - Consulting

Mumbai, Maharashtra

Job Summary

We are seeking an aggressive, field-proven Head of Execution with deep civil, structural engineering, and fast-track construction expertise to lead the physical site buildout of our high-density AI datacenter facilities.

This role requires a specialist who can execute mega-scale Core & Shell infrastructure, oversee Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) and modular steel structures, execute heavy civil foundation works, and seamlessly integrate high-density MEP/liquid cooling infrastructure for 100 kW to 150 kW+ per rack deployments.

Key Responsibilities

1. Civil, Structural & PEB Construction Leadership

Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) & Fast-Track Steel: Drive the end-to-end erection of large-span Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB), structural steel superstructures, and composite floor systems optimized for rapid deployment.

Heavy Civil & Foundation Works: Direct mass earthworks, deep foundation systems (piling, grade beams, raft slabs), and structural concrete execution designed to handle extreme localized dynamic and static loads.

High-Density Load Engineering: Ensure strict civil execution compliance for elevated floor loading capacities required by liquid-filled cooling manifolds, heavy transformers, and ultra-dense GPU rack arrays.

Building Envelope & Site Infrastructure: Oversee total shell delivery, including insulated metal panels (IMP), high-rated security perimeters, acoustic barriers, storm-water drainage networks, and heavy-equipment access roads.

2. MEP, Liquid Cooling & AI Density Integration

Piping & Mechanical Integration: Interface civil construction directly with primary/secondary fluid loop installations, heavy chiller yards, and coolant distribution unit (CDU) concrete pads.

High-Density Deployment: Oversee site preparation and infrastructure handoff for GPU clusters (NVIDIA H100/B200/GB200 classes) running at 100 kW to 150 kW+ per rack.

Utility & Substation Works: Drive the civil buildouts for on-site high-voltage substations, generator yards, fuel storage vaults, and underground duct banks.

3. Site Execution, Quality & Contractor Oversight

Contractor Management: Directly manage General Contractors (GCs), structural steel fabricators, PEB vendors, civil subcontractors, and third-party quality control agencies.

Commissioning Support: Lead structural and environmental handovers to MEP teams, supporting Level 1 through Level 5 commissioning protocols.

EHS & Schedule Control: Enforce zero-harm site safety standards (OSHA/local regulations) while leveraging critical-path management to meet tight fast-track schedules.

Qualifications & Requirements

| Experience | 15 to 20 years in large-scale civil/structural construction management, with 5+ years specifically leading hyperscale datacenter or heavy industrial site execution. |

| Civil/Structural Expertise | Hands-on mastery of PEB erection, structural steel framing, heavy raft/pile foundation execution, and fast-track civil engineering. |
