- Oversee inventory, materials flow, and operational logistics to support data centre activities
- Support maintenance planning and the reliability of critical infrastructure systems, including power, cooling, and network environments
- Act as the primary on‑site lead for service delivery, driving accountability, performance, and continuous improvement
- Identify risks and implement mitigation strategies across both transition and steady‑state operations
