Fleet Data Centers is seeking a highly motivated and execution-oriented Principal, Equipment Procurement Site Leader to support our active data center construction programs at our Peru Ridge or South Valley (Reno, NV) sites.
The Principal Equipment Procurement Site Leader is responsible for site-level execution, coordination, and risk management of Owner-Furnished, Contractor-Installed (OFCI) equipment - from post-purchase order issuance through final commissioning and startup. This role does not own sourcing or supplier selection; it owns execution, integration, and issue resolution at the site level. The position serves as the single-threaded leader onsite, bridging central procurement, OEM field technicians, engineering, the General Contractor (GC), and commissioning teams to protect schedule certainty and resolve execution risks in real time. This is a 100% onsite, high-accountability role with direct impact on project schedule and equipment delivery outcomes.
How will you make a difference?
- Own onsite execution of Owner-Furnished, Contractor-Installed (OFCI) equipment from post-PO through commissioning
- Serve as the single onsite point of accountability for equipment delivery, installation readiness, and startup
- Integrate OEM manufacturing and delivery schedules with construction and commissioning timelines
- Coordinate with general contractor, engineering, commissioning teams, and OEM field technicians to ensure seamless execution
- Track equipment production, FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) readiness, delivery, installation, and commissioning status
- Ensure site readiness for equipment receipt, staging, and installation (access, laydown, cranes, sequencing)
- Proactively identify schedule, logistics, and execution risks and drive resolution plans
- Escalate delivery issues, quality concerns, and field execution gaps with clear documentation
- Support milestone verification, payment approvals, and identification of site-driven commercial risks
- Maintain accurate reporting, risk logs, and communication with site and central procurement leadership
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Construction Management, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field; or equivalent relevant professional experience
- 8+ years in procurement execution, supply chain management, or construction delivery in mission-critical or large-scale infrastructure environments
Required Qualifications
- Direct experience supporting data center, hyperscale, or mission-critical facility construction programs
- Strong understanding of the OFCI equipment lifecycle — from purchase order through site receipt, installation, and commissioning
- Demonstrated experience interfacing with and managing OEMs under tight schedule and performance commitments
- Ability to operate 100% onsite in a fast-paced, high-pressure construction environment
- Proven ability to identify and resolve site-level execution issues with speed and clarity
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to facilitate cross-functional alignment across GC, engineering, commissioning, and central procurement teams
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience within hyperscale environments
- Familiarity with ERP/source-to-pay systems (SAP, Oracle, Coupa, or NetSuite)
- Exposure to formal commissioning processes (Level 0–6 frameworks) and critical systems including UPS, MV/LV switchgear, generators, transformers, busway, and cooling
- Experience working within an OFCI procurement model and understanding the distinction between owner-furnished and contractor-furnished scopes
- Proficiency in construction management platforms such as Procore
What Success Looks Like
- Zero surprises on equipment delivery that impact the commissioning schedule
- Early identification and mitigation of schedule risks — not reactive firefighting
- Strong alignment between centralized procurement commitments and field execution reality
- OEM field technicians mobilized on time, with documentation and warranty activation planned in advance
- Clear, trusted, and proactive communication with both site teams and central procurement
Travel & Schedule
- This is a 100% onsite contract role at the assigned Fleet Data Centers construction site (Peru Ridge – Reno, NV or South Valley – Reno, NV). Extended availability during commissioning windows, energization, and startup periods should be expected.
Expected Salary Range
- $160,000- 200,000 Salary + Discretionary Bonus
