Role Description We are seeking a Datacenter NetDeploy Lead to own the end-to-end execution of physical network deployments in data center environments. This role bridges Network Engineering, Capacity Delivery/Construction, Data Center Engineering, and Operations to ensure network infrastructure is installed, validated, and formally handed over in a production-ready state. The NetDeploy Lead is accountable for vendor execution, schedule delivery, quality standards, and in-field issue resolution, while maintaining strict alignment to documented standards, ticketing, cleanliness, and escalation protocols. Key Responsibilities - Lead full lifecycle physical network deployments for new builds, expansions, and refreshes. - Translate network topologies, cabling designs, and BOMs into executable field plans and sequencing. - Oversee and/or coordinate rack-and-stack of network equipment (switches, OOB, ancillary network systems). - Oversee and/or coordinate fiber trunk pulls, routing, and termination to patch panels / equipment. - Oversee and/or coordinate patch panel installation, patching, labeling, and cable management. - Drive port-to-port verification, continuity testing, and validation sign-off. - Ensure work follows documented standards and runbooks (tables, tickets, checklists, cleanliness, escalation). - Develop the systems, processes, and tools to enable deployment and maintenance of deployed systems. - Source, evaluate, and manage vendors across structured cabling, JIT fiber remediation, rack-and-stack/patching teams, and testing/verification support. - Define scope, develop SOWs, validate pricing, and manage execution to contract terms; track vendor performance against quality, throughput, safety, schedule, and documentation requirements; drive corrective actions when vendors miss standards. - Partner with Network Engineering to resolve field issues and deployment constraints (wrong switch delivered, substitutions, component failures, damaged gear; installation blockers and design/port mapping discrepancies; sequencing changes to maintain schedule). - Partner with Data Center Engineering to align deployments to approved physical network infrastructure designs; verify fiber routing diversity and pathway separation; enforce installation standards for routing, labeling, and cable administration; resolve field constraints that would force deviations from design intent. - Partner with Capacity Delivery / Construction / Facilities to gain site access and coordinate logistics/staging; ensure pathways, trays, penetrations, and build readiness for trunk pulls; align fiber completion to rack/machine placement milestones. - Partner with Operations for handover: confirm install is complete/validated/documented; ensure as-builts, labeling, port maps, and test evidence are delivered; execute formal ownership transfer so Ops can maintain/operate the network. - Build and manage deployment schedules, sequencing plans, and milestone tracking; forecast labor needs, vendor ramp, and critical path dependencies. - Track cost drivers (labor, materials, change orders) and manage contract burn. - Identify risks early and drive mitigation plans to protect turn-up dates. - Enforce adherence to deployment standards (labeling, patching, cleanliness, cable management), ticket-driven execution/closure, escalation protocols, change management, and documentation deliverables (as-builts, port maps, test results) to ensure installs are repeatable, auditable, and ready for operations at scale. Qualifications - 10+ years of experience in data center network deployment / infrastructure delivery. - Strong understanding of data center network topologies (leaf/spine, core/aggregation, etc.). - Strong understanding of network components, BOMs, racking constraints, and deployment sequencing. - Strong understanding of fiber/structured cabling practices (trunks, panels, terminations, cleaning, testing). - Demonstrated vendor management experience, including SOWs and execution oversight. - Proven ability to coordinate across engineering, construction/capacity teams, and operations. - Strong scheduling, risk management, and delivery accountability in the field. Preferred Skills - Hyperscale / multi-site / high-throughput deployment experience. - Familiarity with structured cabling standards (e.g., BICSI, TIA/EIA) and test methodologies. - Experience working in ticket-based operational environments (change control, incident escalation). - Exposure to network deployment validation tooling and/or automated evidence capture.
