Onsite Technical Program Manager — Data Center Deployment (APAC)
Nscale — Singapore · In-Person · Senior
Role description
Role Overview
We’re looking for a Doer — someone who lives and breathes the site. This role sits at the center of our GPU cluster deployments: bootstrapping clusters, using low-level designs (LLDs) as the reference to check that cabling and fit-out are going to plan on the floor, and unblocking whatever stands between the plan and a working, delivered site.
What You Will Do
On the floor, you’ll own cluster bootstrapping, cabling, and fit-out execution from the ground up. You’ll use the LLDs as the reference point to check on the floor whether cabling and fit-out are going to plan — not to author or revise the design. You’ll visit sites frequently during construction; be present onsite through active deployment.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You’ll be the person senior stakeholders trust when a deployment is going sideways. You’re warm and approachable on the floor, but authoritative when it counts — the kind of person trade vendors and engineers genuinely want to work with.
Requirements
- Proven experience as an onsite Technical Program Manager, deployment lead, or equivalent role in data center construction, cluster bootstrapping, or large-scale infrastructure rollout
- Hands-on knowledge of reading and applying LLDs, plus cabling and fit-out processes, to verify onsite work against plan
- Track record of managing multiple concurrent, complex deployments
- Demonstrated ability to bring real technical credibility to readiness reviews
- Experience managing vendor relationships and resolving underperformance
- Strong executive communication skills — able to turn technical complexity into clear, decision-ready narratives
- Willingness and ability to travel extensively and be onsite for extended periods during active deployment phases
