​A Data Center developer/owner is scaling high-density halls. They want a Director of Interiors & White Space to standardize fit-out, cut rework, and land TCO on time across multiple campuses.

Role snapshot

Own all interior build elements from slab-to-rack: rooms, containment, busway, branch power, controls integration, and readiness for liquid-cooling deployments. Lead multiple Senior CMs and GC partners; set the playbook others follow.

What you’ll do

  • Build a repeatable white-space delivery playbook (specs, mock-ups, QA hold points, turnover artifacts).

  • Govern schedules/costs across parallel phases; approve L3/L4 plans and recovery strategies.

  • Coordinate with Power Delivery (substation/MV) and Cx (L1–L5/IST) to protect energization/TCO milestones.

  • Standardize vendor packages (busway, containment, racks, in-row cooling/CDUs, leak detection).

  • Lead quality & safety audits; drive punch/NCR burn-down and ready-for-IST gates.

  • Coach a small team of CMs; develop GC/trade bench strength and capacity plans.

You bring

  • 12–15+ years in mission-critical; 3+ multi-phase DC programs with white-space ownership.

  • Depth in high-density hall sequencing, busway/containment, and controls (BMS/EPMS) integration.

  • Liquid-cooling familiarity (direct-to-chip/immersion) and cleanliness/commissioning adjacency.

  • Executive-grade reporting; strong GMP/CO exposure and claims positioning.

Location & travel: NoVA (preferred) or TX hub; 30–40% multi-site travel.
Comp (guide):$190k–$260k base + 15–30% bonus (equity possible); full benefits & relocation.
