TL;DR · Planning & Deployment Engineer

The Planning & Deployment Engineer serves as the critical technical-readiness link between program management, engineering, low-voltage vendors, and Data Center Build and Deployment Engineers. This role is responsible for the upfront review of deployment projects to ensure requirements are accurate and executable before they reach the data hall. Day-to-day responsibilities include validating hardware requirements, Bills of Materials, cut sheets, and rack positioning while identifying design gaps and risks early in the lifecycle. The candidate will manage vendor relationships, coordinate RFQ activities, and oversee project milestones across multiple concurrent builds. Key technical competencies include expertise in low-voltage infrastructure, structured cabling including copper and optical fiber, and knowledge of network infrastructure and connectivity layers. This role solves the problem of ensuring seamless capacity delivery by removing administrative hurdles for field engineers through rigorous pre-deployment validation and process improvement.

What you'll do

  • Conduct comprehensive technical reviews of project requirements, hardware BOMs, and documentation before field execution.
  • Identify and resolve technical gaps, inconsistencies, and dependencies early to prevent downstream deployment delays.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of data center projects from initial intake through final capacity delivery.
  • Coordinate RFQ activities and manage low-voltage vendor relationships to ensure quality and schedule adherence.
  • Track project milestones, risks, and blockers across multiple concurrent construction and deployment programs.
  • Evaluate Design Change Requests (DCRs) for impact on materials, schedules, and resource allocation.
  • Develop scalable processes and automation opportunities to improve deployment speed and data quality.
  • Translate complex program requirements into actionable execution guidance for field engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 5+ years of experience in data center, telecommunications, or low-voltage infrastructure deployments.
  • Must have 5+ years of structured cabling infrastructure experience including copper and optical fiber deployment methodologies.
  • Ability to review and validate technical documentation such as cut sheets, patching matrices, Bills of Materials, and rack layouts.
  • Knowledge of network infrastructure, connectivity, networking layers, and testing/validation methodologies.
  • Experience coordinating or managing low-voltage vendors and contractors in complex deployment environments.
  • Strong project management skills including scoping, scheduling, dependency management, resource planning, and risk management.
  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects while prioritizing effectively as requirements change.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to convey technical issues and status to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
