This is a top-tier leadership role with direct impact on capital deployment, time-to-market, and long-term asset performance.

Capital Deployment & Commercial Leadership
- Oversee multi-millons CapEx budgets and capital allocation across markets
- Shape procurement strategy at a regional level (framework agreements, strategic suppliers, long-term partnerships)
- Lead complex contract negotiations, risk allocation, and dispute resolution at scale
Supply Chain & Partner Ecosystem
- Build and manage a resilient, contractor and supplier ecosystem across APAC
- Anticipate and mitigate supply chain constraints (power equipment, cooling systems, labour)
- Drive strategic partnerships to secure capacity and pricing advantages
Technical & Design Integration
- Partner with Engineering and product teams to ensure designs are optimized for scalability, speed, and operational performance
- Champion standardization of core components and modular build strategies where appropriate
- Ensure delivery capability keeps pace with evolving technical requirements (e.g., high-density compute, liquid cooling)
Leadership & Organizational Scale
- Build and lead a senior regional leadership team across key markets in APAC
- Define hiring, capability development, and succession planning strategies
- Instil a culture of accountability, execution excellence, and continuous improvement
Stakeholder & Executive Alignment
- Act as the senior delivery interface with executive leadership, investors, and board-level stakeholders
- Align construction priorities with commercial pipeline, financing structures, and customer commitments
- Represent Nscale externally in strategic partnerships and high-level negotiations
Risk, Compliance & Governance
- Establish robust risk management frameworks across all projects in APAC
- Ensure compliance with local regulations, permitting requirements, and safety standards
- Drive best-in-class health & safety culture across all sites
Commissioning, Quality & Operational Readiness
- Define commissioning standards and ensure consistent execution across all builds
- Guarantee seamless handover to operations with minimal performance risk
- Embed quality assurance as a core pillar of delivery
About You
- Bachelor in Engineering or Information Technology or equivalent
- At least 15-20 years of experience in large-scale infrastructure, mission-critical or in Data Centre construction
- Proven leadership of multi-country, multi-billion-dollar capital programmes
- Experience building and scaling delivery platforms, not just delivering individual projects
- Strong track record in APAC markets, with an understanding of regulatory, labour, and supply chain dynamics
- Deep technical familiarity with data centre infrastructure (power, cooling, redundancy, commissioning)
- Extensive commercial experience, including structuring and negotiating large-scale contracts and supplier frameworks
