Decima International

Project Manager

• Direct the end-to-end design process from concept through "Issued for Construction" (IFC) documents, ensuring all deliverables align with the master project schedule and budget.
• Lead the integration between CSA (Civil, Structural, Architectural), MEP, ICT, and Security disciplines, to ensure 100% design integration and zero spatial conflicts.
• Assist in the technical review of long-lead equipment submittals to ensure structural and architectural readiness for heavy-load installations.
• Serve as the primary liaison between the owner, the Architect of Record (AOR), and the General Contractor. You will lead design review meetings and present technical progress to executive leadership.
• Prepare and present technical status reports and PowerPoint decks to both client leadership and site-level management.
• Ensure all site-level design changes (Field Changes) comply with owner standards, local building codes, and data center mission-critical requirements.
• Manage and expedite the technical review of RFIs and submittals, coordinating with consultants and subcontractors to prevent construction bottlenecks.
• Identify potential design-related risks and lead cross-functional teams to develop rapid, cost-effective engineering solutions.
• Utilize Revit/Navisworks for real-time clash detection and resolution.
• Proactively lead Value Engineering workshops to identify opportunities for cost optimization and schedule acceleration without compromising "Mission Critical" performance or structural integrity. Evaluate alternative materials and construction methods to drive maximum ROI for the client.
• Oversee the implementation of the Quality Management System (QMS) as it relates to design accuracy, local building codes, and "Mission Critical" performance standards, and support the commissioning (Cx) teams during final hand-over.
