Team Overview The Data Center Construction organization at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is rapidly expanding to deliver large-scale data center campuses that support Oracle’s global cloud and AI infrastructure. These facilities require world-class execution across design, construction, commissioning, and operational turnover. Within this organization, the Facilities Development team is responsible for ensuring that data center construction is delivered safely, consistently, and to OCI’s technical, quality, and operational standards. The team works closely with design engineering, construction management, commissioning, operations, vendors, general contractors, and trade partners to deliver mission-critical infrastructure at scale. As a Senior Data Center Facilities Development Manager I – QA/QC, you will help lead quality assurance and quality control across data center construction projects. You will be responsible for ensuring that construction work, materials, systems, inspections, documentation, and turnover packages meet OCI requirements, project specifications, code requirements, and long-term operational expectations. Job Summary The Senior Data Center Facilities Development Manager I – QA/QC is responsible for managing construction quality across complex data center development projects. This role provides field-level and program-level oversight of QA/QC execution, ensuring that contractors and vendors deliver work in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, standards, method statements, inspection test plans, and commissioning requirements. This position will focus on identifying quality risks early, driving accountability with contractors, coordinating inspections, managing non-conformance processes, supporting commissioning readiness, and ensuring that completed work is properly documented and ready for operational turnover.
