    Role Summary:

    We are developing a scalable, power-dense data center campus in Schulenburg, Texas with municipal support, long-haul fiber diversity, and an expandable power roadmap. We are seeking a Data Center Owner’s Representative /Technical Advisor to act as the technical authority on behalf of ownership-translating concept into tenant- and investor-grade reality.

    This role is not a marketing or feasibility-study position. The successful candidate will have direct experience taking data center projects from early concept through power coordination, tenant diligence, and leasing or delivery.

    Key Responsibilities

    Technical & Development Leadership

    • Act as owner’s technical representative across power, cooling, network, and site design
    • Define and validate phased MW delivery plans (Phase 1 through ultimate buildout)
    • Develop tenant-grade technical narratives for:
      \- power interconnection and expansion o cooling concepts (air / liquid-ready / hybrid)
      \- network & fiber redundancy
    • Ensure designs and assumptions are underwrite-able by tenants and brokers

    Power & Utility Coordination

    • Support engagement with regional utility (LCRA) and local stakeholders
    • Help structure interconnection strategy, timelines, and expansion logic
    • Translate utility requirements into clear owner and tenant deliverables

    Leasing & Diligence Support

    • Prepare and review technical diligence materials used by:
      \- data center brokers o tenant infrastructure teams
      \- potential capital partners
    • Participate in tenant diligence calls and help resolve technical objections
    • Advise on LOI and lease technical exhibits (demarcation, responsibilities, specs)

    Owner Advocacy

    • Protect owner interests by avoiding premature over-engineering
    • Provide honest readiness assessments (“what’s lease-ready vs what isn’t”)
    • Coordinate selectively with engineers, utilities, and contractors without creating unnecessary scope creep

    Required Experience

    • 10+ years in data center development, engineering, or infrastructure delivery
    • Direct experience with hyperscale, wholesale, or large enterprise data centers
    • Demonstrated involvement in:
      \- power planning and interconnection strategy
      \- MW-scale campus or phased data center projects
      \- tenant or investor technical diligence
    • Comfortable operating in early-stage environments with incomplete information
    • Able to produce clear, defensible technical narratives — not just drawings

    Preferred Background

    • Former owner’s rep, development lead, or senior engineer at:
      \- hyperscale cloud provider o colocation / wholesale data center developer
      \- infrastructure advisory firm
    • Experience working with Texas utilities strongly preferred
    • Prior success helping projects reach pre-lease or lease execution
  • Compensation
    $100,000 per year
