About the Role We are seeking a Senior Process & Budget Manager, Engineering to own our engineering cost structure and process excellence across large‑scale (cloud/AI) data center programs. This leader brings a deep technical background in General Construction and MEP systems, can build and govern WBS/cost frameworks, and has the judgment to assess, question, and revise complex data center budgets in partnership with EPCs and vendors. Equally, this role designs, documents, trains, and enforces engineering processes and stage‑gate controls that scale globally. You’ll partner closely with Engineering, PMO, Operations, Finance, Legal/Procurement, and our EPC partners and OEMs. Why this matters: Our capital program uses formal stage‑gates and Decision Support Packages (DSPs) with risk registers and cross‑functional RACIs. Your work ensures tight schedule‑cost integration, robust risk/contingency management, and repeatable execution from market development through RFS. Key Responsibilities 1) Capital Planning, WBS & Cost Governance Improve and expand our standard WBS for data center developments (core & shell, fit‑out, offsite/onsite substation, OFCI/OCIP, commissioning), and drive consistency across regions and EPC partners. Lead and challenge CapEx estimates across AACE classes (e.g., early Class‑5 through Class‑2), including benchmarking, quantity takeoff validation, vendor quotes, and value engineering alternatives. Govern budget baselines, benchmarks, contingencies, and comparisons, and own variance narratives and recovery plans. 2) Engineering Process Design, Documentation & Adoption Identify, define, and implement scalable engineering processes spanning test fits, design reviews, submittals/RFIs, design deviations, doc control, commissioning readiness, and handover. Produce SOPs, RACIs, checklists, and templates; maintain a single source of truth.
