Project Oversight & Advisory Support
- Provide government stakeholders with clear, actionable recommendations on design decisions, technical alternatives, and implications for mission assurance.
- Support the government in monitoring developer progress, schedule adherence, and compliance with technical requirements.
- Contribute to development and refinement of performance requirements, technical specifications, and milestones.
- Assist in review of construction sequencing, commissioning approaches, and facility readiness planning.
- Evaluate proposed interconnection and utility service strategies, including impacts to Navy infrastructure.
Stakeholder Coordination & Communication
- Serve as a trusted technical advisor interfacing between the government, developer, utilities, and engineering teams.
- Translate complex data center engineering concepts into digestible insights for senior military and civilian leaders.
- Support cross-functional coordination across engineering, energy resilience, real estate, legal, acquisition, and mission support workstreams.
- Prepare briefings, technical memoranda, issue summaries, and decision support materials for high-level leadership.
