The Data Center Construction organization at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is rapidly expanding to deliver gigawatt-scale campuses that power Oracle’s global cloud network. Within this organization, the Telecommunications Infrastructure team designs and delivers the structured cabling, bulk fiber, security, AV, BMS/controls, and related low-voltage systems that form the digital nervous system of OCI’s data centers.

As Principal Data Center Asset & Quality Manager, you’ll operate at the intersection of supply chain, construction, telecommunications infrastructure, and quality assurance, effectively leading the coordination of significant material investment from procurement and warehouse staging to delivery management, installation, and acceptance. Consistent on-site presence is required for this role, split between the project construction site and local warehouse location(s).

The successful candidate will develop and lead a disciplined, scalable asset and quality management program fit for a fast-paced, giga-scale construction project. The role requires strong judgement, technical knowledge, exceptional organizational discipline, and effective coordination between internal and external partners in a high-stakes environment where success is dependent on exceptional material availability, installation quality, and schedule adherence.

Asset, Material, & Inventory Management:

• Own the end-to-end material readiness process for telecom infrastructure, coordinating requirements from design and procurement through receipt, staging, site delivery, installation, and acceptance.

• Develop and maintain detailed visibility into material demand, procurement status, material lead times, installation durations, delivery schedules, warehouse inventory management, site receiving, installation readiness, and quality acceptance.

• Partner with telecom contractors, material suppliers, procurement teams, design managers, and construction teams to proactively identify material shortages, long-lead risks, delivery constraints, damaged or missing assets, and other conditions that could affect project schedule or cost.

• Establish appropriate inventory controls, asset tracking practices, material handling requirements, and reconciliation processes to ensure materials are properly received, stored, protected, transferred, installed, and accounted for.

• Ensure material planning strategically incorporates appropriate schedule buffers and mitigation strategies so isolated supply chain or installation issues can be resolved without affecting critical construction milestones.

Quality Assurance & Installation Acceptance:

• Establish and manage a comprehensive quality assurance and acceptance program for telecom materials and installation acceptance.

• Develop inspection, verification, documentation, and acceptance requirements that ensure installations comply with approved engineering and design requirements, project specifications, manufacturer requirements, established construction standards, applicable standards/codes, and industry best practices.

• Coordinate quality inspections and acceptance activities with internal and external partners across multiple construction phases and telecommunications systems/workstreams.

• Identify installation discrepancies, material damage and defects, incomplete documentation, or other quality concerns and drive timely resolution with responsible contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders.

• Maintain clear visibility and reporting into quality acceptance status, open deficiencies, corrective actions, and readiness for downstream construction and commissioning activities.

Program Development & Standards:

• Develop and implement an effective, efficient, repeatable asset management and installation quality program capable of scaling across a multi-phase giga-scale construction environment.

• Develop standards, templates, workflows, procedures, controls, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms spanning material planning, receipt, inventory management, staging, installation verification, quality inspection, corrective action, and final acceptance.

• Partner with engineering, design, telecom, construction, schedule, cost, procurement, and quality subject matter experts to ensure processes integrate appropriately with existing systems, tools, and project controls.

• Balance rigor with practicality. Develop standards that provide appropriate governance, investment protection, and quality assurance, while promoting agility and speed to market within our dynamic construction environment.

• Continuously improve processes based on field experience, reporting trends, supply chain performance, schedule impacts, partner feedback, and lessons learned.

Construction Coordination:

• Coordinate material and quality management across a complex, multi-phase construction program with overlapping design, procurement, construction, installation, and acceptance activities.

• Translate design requirements, bills of material (BOMs), and construction schedules into actionable material, logistics, inspection, and acceptance plans.

• Develop, organize, maintain, and report the material readiness and quality acceptance pipeline status across project phases.

• Closely coordinate with project stakeholders to proactively plan and identify dependencies between material availability, on-site delivery, installation sequencing, and acceptance activities with respect to all construction activities and milestones.

• Proactively identify and escalate risks and develop practical recovery or mitigation plans before issues affect critical-path activities.

Investment Protection & Risk Management

• Act as a steward of significant company investment in telecom infrastructure and construction materials, ensuring materials are accounted for and received as expected.

• Recognize and actively mitigate the financial, schedule, operational, and reputational consequences associated with material delays, shortages, loss, damage, improper storage, incorrect installation, deficient workmanship, or incomplete quality acceptance.

• Establish controls that avoid material loss, rework, schedule disruption, unnecessary expediting, and avoidable construction cost.

• Use data, field observations, inventory information, construction schedules, and quality trends to identify emerging risks before they become project impacts.

• Maintain both a project-level and organizational-level perspective when making decisions, recognizing that processes and standards established for this project may inform future large-scale data center delivery programs.

Reporting & Program Controls:

• Develop and maintain a clear reporting framework that communicates material readiness and quality acceptance status across all project phases.

• Provide concise, data-driven updates to project leadership and key stakeholders, clearly distinguishing current status, emerging risk, required decisions, and recommended actions.

• Create dashboards and reporting mechanisms that provide actionable visibility into areas such as:

• Material required, ordered, received, staged, delivered, and installed

• Spare and emergency material inventory

• Estimated delivery date versus required on job date

• Long-lead and at-risk materials

• Inventory discrepancies, shortages, losses, and damaged materials

• Material readiness by construction phase and system

• Installation inspection and acceptance status

• Open quality deficiencies and corrective actions

• Aging or unresolved issues

• Upcoming schedule-driven material requirements

• Risks or issues requiring escalation
