Senior Program Manager, Site Logistics – Data Center Supply Chain
About The Position
As a member of the Data Center Supply Chain team, the Senior Program Manager, Site Logistics will protect the condition, custody, location, and availability of owner-furnished, contractor-installed (OFCI) equipment across outsourced storage and documented site handoff. This role leads facility and inventory controls, preservation execution, storage release, and logistics site-readiness coordination. The role connects provider execution to construction demand, reducing the risk of hidden damage, lost inventory, unnecessary rehandling, and failed delivery. Engineering approves technical requirements; Construction retains site control, receiving acknowledgment, and installation responsibility. SB Energy is building a procurement team under a common role profile, bringing together complementary electrical, mechanical, commercial, and logistics strengths. Within this team, this role focuses on inventory management, equipment storage, and site logistics. The manager may lead logistics activities for an individual project, manage logistics requirements for equipment packages across multiple projects, or lead a shared logistics or planning assignment. Assignments may evolve as projects advance, workloads shift, and business priorities change. The manager is expected to contribute beyond their primary area, including broader procurement, sourcing, supplier development, or planning assignments, based on relevant experience, equipment knowledge, readiness, workload, and appropriate specialist support. Each manager maintains clear ownership of assigned responsibilities, cross-trains colleagues, and provides structured handoffs and backup coverage. Candidates must demonstrate depth in inventory management, equipment storage, and site logistics, together with the flexibility and willingness to build capability across the broader function. Candidates are not expected to be specialists in every electrical, mechanical, commercial, or logistics discipline.
