Review and approve contractor change orders and scope changes.
Select and manage general contractors, electrical contractors, trade partners, and consultants.
Direct procurement of long-lead equipment and structural steel.
Support Site-Specific Owner Project Requirements (SSOPR) negotiations with hyperscale and AI tenants.
Set commissioning frameworks that protect schedule and RFS dates.
Set clear communication protocols between Bitdeer, tenants, and contractors.
Lead site visits for prospective tenants and investors.
Report status, risks, and decision options to executive leadership.
Enforce a zero-harm safety culture, including OSHA compliance, Method of Procedure (MOP), Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and energization safety in live environments.
Run QA/QC programs, root cause failure analysis (RCFA), and Level 1–5 commissioning.
Deliver structured closeout and digital asset handover to operations and client CMMS platforms.
Oversee incentive and labor compliance (e.g., IRA/ITC, prevailing wage and apprenticeship).
