📋 Description

• Drive execution of Anthropic’s technical requirements for third-party datacenter delivery partners, ensuring design intent is consistently translated from BOD through construction documents. • Define the design execution framework—deliverable requirements, review gates, and quality standards—for each partner engagement. • Drive accountability for partner deliverable quality across milestones, evaluating deliverables for cross-discipline consistency and alignment to Anthropic’s requirements. • Partner with external design teams and stakeholders to execute design document development and issuance across all project phases. • Own the design change management process across projects, ensuring technical decisions are documented, resolved, and implemented through construction. • Review and develop responses to contractor RFIs, maintaining design intent while accommodating field conditions. • Own technical continuity across design, construction, commissioning, and turnover, driving alignment between internal leads on phase transition standards and acceptance criteria. • Support project closeout and as-built documentation processes. • Facilitate constructability review processes between design and construction teams, surfacing integration risks raised by discipline leads for resolution, maintaining alignment between design intent and field execution as conditions evolve. • Drive risk identification and mitigation through partner QA/QC processes, across the design and construction lifecycle. • Direct and supervise external partners and owners reps conducting site reviews, ensuring technical reports adequately capture design compliance and construction progress. • Interface with internal stakeholders—construction execution, supply chain, facilities operations, and security—to align design solutions with technical and business objectives. • Partner with internal teams to define infrastructure requirements and translate them into actionable design criteria for external partners. • Identify and implement opportunities for process improvements, design optimization, and schedule/performance/cost tradeoffs. • Oversee partner-led commissioning review, ensuring outcomes are documented against Anthropic's standards.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years managing complex capital/infrastructure programs, including datacenters, spanning design and delivery phases. • Experience managing design execution or technical programs in partnership with external design/construction firms — design management, owner's engineering, or program management backgrounds all fit. • Working familiarity with mechanical, electrical, and cooling systems sufficient to manage technical discussions and hold discipline experts accountable • Experience managing design change processes, RFIs, and construction documentation workflows. • Track record of coordinating across multiple disciplines and organizations on complex infrastructure projects. • Familiarity with industry standards, building codes, and safety standards applicable to mission-critical facilities. • Comfortable operating with authority in ambiguous environments where processes need to be built, not just followed. • BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Architecture, or related field. • Preferred: Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) license. • Proficiency with Revit/BIM, Autodesk, or similar design software applications. • Experience integrating sustainability, energy efficiency, and resiliency goals into datacenter system designs. • Direct experience with large-scale AI/HPC infrastructure, including high-density cooling systems and power distribution at 50+ MW scale.
