[Hiring] Senior Project Manager - Network Delivery @IREN

Role Description

The Senior Project Manager – Network Delivery owns the delivery of the telecommunications, network infrastructure, fiber, and supporting technology systems required to bring a data center campus into operation. The scope is campus-wide – every building, carrier entrance, meet-me room, and the backbone that connects them – and extends off campus to the fiber routes, carrier facilities, and service-provider deliveries that terminate at that campus.

With 100% renewable energy, we build, own, and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way – responsibly, sustainably, and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.

Qualifications

• Minimum 10 years of telecommunications, network infrastructure, or data center industry experience.
• 5+ years of proven project management and people leadership delivering telecommunications or network infrastructure on mid to large data center or mission-critical projects of similar complexity to IREN’s.
• Qualifications in an engineering, telecommunications, or related discipline, or demonstrable experience and technical knowledge in data center network and fiber infrastructure.
• Deep technical expertise in outside-plant and inside-plant fiber, carrier and MMR delivery, and data center structured cabling and network infrastructure.
• Executive presence and reporting: proven ability to document and communicate project risks, schedule, and budget clearly and consistently to senior leadership, in writing and in person.
• Experience in a fast-paced growth environment and in solving complex problems with company-wide impact.
• OSHA 30.
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Suite (Project, Excel, Word, Outlook).

Requirements

• Outside-plant fiber and carrier delivery: long-haul and metro routes, right-of-way and permitting dependencies, diverse entrances, splicing and OTDR acceptance, carrier POP and handoff coordination, service orders and turn-up.
• Inside-plant and campus backbone: MMR design and fit-out, MDF/IDF, pathways and cable tray, structured cabling (fiber and copper), cross-connects, patch panels and labeling standards.
• High-capacity network services: 100G/400G connectivity, DWDM/optical transport, and coordination with Network Engineering on logical design, VLANs, and IP addressing.
• Operational technology networks: network dependencies for BMS, EPMS, fire and life-safety monitoring, security, CCTV, access control, Wi-Fi, and environmental monitoring.
• Infrastructure records: NetBox or other DCIM platforms, asset and connectivity documentation, naming conventions, and as-built validation.

Benefits

• Experience on direct-to-subcontractor (multi-prime) delivery as well as GC-led delivery.
• PM certification (PMP or equivalent) highly regarded but not required; tertiary qualifications in project management desirable.
• Industry credentials such as BICSI RCDD or DCDC, Cisco or equivalent networking certifications, or fiber-optic technician certifications (e.g. FOA CFOT).
• Familiarity with SAP and with scheduling tools such as Primavera P6.
