About the Role The AI Regional Supervisor is the regional delivery authority for the physical build of AI factory infrastructure. You lead the AI Foremen running individual sites across your region, and you own the standard to which every one of those sites is delivered: installation quality, safety discipline, schedule integrity and documentation accuracy. Where the Foreman runs a site, you run the region – multiple concurrent builds, each with its own customer, partners and critical path.

This is a field-track leadership role at 100% delivery execution. You do not produce designs; you receive the issued design – low-level designs, rack elevations, P2P schedules and RBI workbooks – from the Domain Architect – AI Facilities (Layer 1) and are accountable for its faithful physical execution. You are the seam between site reality and the design authority: field deviations flow up through you with evidence and issued design changes flow down through you to the floor with superseded versions withdrawn.

The bar for this role is the same as for the Foremen you lead, raised one level: proven command of large-scale data centre deployments, the authority to stop work when safety or quality demands it, and reporting that stands behind every sign-off given in your region. When a build is on the critical path, you work the problem, not the clock; sustained site presence across the region is a firm requirement.

Key Responsibilities

1. Regional Site Authority & Foreman Leadership (60%)

- Regional Delivery Ownership
- Own delivery execution across all active sites in the region, holding each build to the issued design version, the installation quality standard and the committed schedule
- Sequence foremen, field staff and partner crews across concurrent builds, and rebalance the region when a site’s critical path moves
- Maintain the regional installation schedule and dependency view across all builds, feeding it into the project plans owned by the Project Managers; schedule, scope and customer change control remain with the Project Manager
- Foreman Leadership & Standards
- Lead, direct and develop the AI Foremen in the region; set and enforce the operating standard for daily briefings, installation trackers, issue logging and quality gates on every site
- Verify that every Foreman sign-off is backed by evidence – test results, inspection records and tracker entries – before it is presented for customer acceptance
- Own the enablement of regional field staff against the field-track learning pathway, and hold gate items to their target quarters
- Safety Authority
- Hold stop-work authority across the region; enforce site safety standards, PPE regimes and duty of care for all WWT staff, partners and visitors under supervision
- Own S1 and S2 issue response for the region: same-day notification of the Project Manager and Principal Architect for stop-work events, and within-day escalation of critical-path blockers
- Design Fidelity & Change Discipline




- Enforce that sites cable and build only to the current issued design version, and that superseded versions are withdrawn from the floor
- Channel field deviations – unsourceable parts, impossible routings, spec-versus-site conflicts – to the Domain Architect – AI Facilities (Layer 1) with photographs and evidence, and hold work until adjudication where the deviation is structural
- Quality Assurance
- Set and audit the regional QA bar: copper and fibre certification test results, fibre end-face cleanliness, bend radius, labelling, grounding and bonding verification, and liquid-cooling leak-detection checks
- Close issues only when remediation is verified against the design documentation; deferred items do not pass QA sign-off in your region

2. Site Readiness, Logistics & Partner Oversight (40%)

- Site Readiness Assessments
- Execute site readiness assessments – power, cooling, space, structural loading and access – to the methodology and acceptance bar set by the Principal Architect – AI Facilities, and hold the readiness gate before hardware is committed to a site
- Delivery Logistics
- Own goods-in, staging and delivery logistics for the region: BOM verification against delivered hardware, transit damage inspection, inventory tagging, storage and pre-staging coordination
- Plan and verify lift plans, floor-loading checks and specialist handling for rack systems in the 1,300 kg class, and confirm permits and site access authorisations are in place before crews mobilise
- Partner Oversight
- Supervise cabling contractors and subcontractors across the region; reject non-compliant physical work and require remediation before sign-off
- Feed partner performance evidence – rework rates, test failures, schedule adherence – into the partner governance owned by the Principal Architect – AI Facilities
- As-Built & Reporting
- Consolidate site installation trackers into regional delivery reporting for the Project Manager and Principal Architect, accurate and current on any day it is asked for
- Ensure red-lined drawings and as-built documentation from every site are complete and returned to the Domain Architect before customer acceptance

Technical Competencies

Essential Skills

- Multi-Site Field Leadership
- Proven supervision of large-scale data centre physical deployments across multiple concurrent sites, directing foremen, installers and subcontractor crews
- Layer 1 Depth
- Structured cabling at high density: single-mode and multimode fibre, direct-attach copper, polarity, bend radius, pathway fill and cable management standards
- Copper and fibre certification testing: interpreting test results,



enforcing fibre inspection and cleanliness to IEC 61300-3-35, and rejecting marginal results
- Power & Cooling Fundamentals
- Three-phase rack power verification: voltage, phase and amperage checks, PDU installation to design, and grounding and bonding to electrical code
- Working awareness of direct liquid cooling installation practices, leak detection verification and the constraints of powered high-density halls
- Documentation Discipline
- Fluent reading of rack elevations, floor plans, P2P schedules and RBI workbooks; runs installation trackers as the single source of site truth
- Project Management Fundamentals
- Working command of project management fundamentals applied to multi-site, multi-project builds: installation scheduling, critical-path and dependency management, resource levelling across a shared crew pool, and risk identification with mitigation tracked to closure
- Reads and works a project plan fluently and reports status against it with accuracy; certification is not required – formal schedule, scope and customer change control sit with the Project Manager
- Safety Leadership
- Construction-site safety regimes: 5-point PPE enforcement, site inductions, hearing protection in powered halls, and the judgement to stop work without hesitation

Desirable Experience

- Delivery on NVIDIA Cloud Provider or comparable high-density AI build programs, including NVL72-class rack logistics
- Hands-on familiarity with Fluke certification tooling for copper and fibre plant
- Cross-border delivery logistics experience, including import handling and local compliance, for positions covering Current Zealand or Malaysia
- Project management certification (CAPM, PRINCE2 Foundation, or equivalent) – fundamentals are the requirement; the credential is not

Certifications (Preferred)

- WHS site safety accreditation (White Card in Australia, or local equivalent) – required before unescorted site access, and attainable in the first weeks of the role
- CDCP (Certified Data Centre Professional)
- BICSI Installer 2, RCDD, or equivalent local structured cabling certification
- NVIDIA-Certified Associate – AI Infrastructure and Operations (NCA-AIIO)

Success Metrics (KPIs)

- Safety: zero uncontrolled S1 events in the region; 100% same-day escalation compliance for stop-work and critical-path issues
- Quality: zero rework orders after final site acceptance testing across the region attributable to missed physical specification or unverified sign-off
- Schedule: site readiness gates passed before hardware commitment on every build; no schedule slippage originating from logistics, permits or partner mobilisation
- Design Fidelity: 100% match between physical deployment, the current issued design version and the as-built documentation returned to the Domain Architect
- Team Capability: regional field staff complete field-track gate items by their target quarters; every site runs to the regional operating standard without exception
