About The Position

The Site Leader provides jobsite leadership for large, long-duration, high-profile projects involving Vertiv power and/or thermal equipment. As Vertiv Service’s primary on-site technical representative, the Site Leader supports projects from construction through start-up, site acceptance testing, and completion. The role works closely with the assigned Project Manager to manage costs, schedules, resources, and customer experience, while building and maintaining strong relationships with customers, coworkers, sales representatives, and other stakeholders. The Site Leader provides construction and technical leadership, directs a multidisciplinary on-site team, coordinates work with customers and other parties, and leads start-up and site-testing activities. The role also oversees jobsite safety, warranty-process adherence, administrative reporting, customer communications, and on-site technical consultation.
