Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Foreman (Data Center Deployment) for a top AI infrastructure client building hyperscale data centers to support next-generation compute and AI workloads. This individual will serve as a boots-on-the-ground leader responsible for executing network and compute deployments at the building level, managing field teams, contractors, and installation activities. The role requires strong ownership, the ability to operate in fast-paced and evolving environments, and a commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure on aggressive timelines. This is a highly impactful opportunity to contribute to large-scale, mission-critical deployments at the forefront of AI infrastructure.

Day-to-Day:
• Lead on-site execution for assigned building areas (1 Foreman per ~72 integrated racks)
• Coordinate and oversee LVC crews, contractors, and field personnel
• Execute against deployment schedules, milestones, and build sequencing plans
• Ensure coverage continuity and maintain consistent presence throughout assigned deployment window
• Participate in gap analysis reviews and adjust resourcing based on project needs
• Support schedule recovery efforts, including ramping manpower or shift coverage when required
• Maintain after-hours and weekend supervision during critical installation activities (fiber pulls, cutovers, night shifts)
• Provide on-call support (24/7 rotation) with ability to respond within 15 minutes during active builds
• Support critical milestone events (cutovers, migrations, commissioning activities) with full on-site coverage
• Enforce safety, quality, and compliance standards across all field operations
• Coordinate closely with Superintendents and Project Managers to escalate risks, blockers, and resource gaps
• Support documentation and adherence to runbooks, SOPs, and execution standards
