FIA Advanced Work Packaging Lead

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

The Field Integration and Assembly (FIA) Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) Lead is a critical, technical, program management role responsible for the end-to-end design, standardization, and physical localization of all AWP assets across our regional data center portfolio. Serving as the technical asset originator, this role owns the creation of master blueprints and the detailed physical localization of Field Assembly Plants (FAPs). A core pillar of this position is driving our modular design philosophy shifting the execution focus from traditional construction to standardized, assembly-centric manufacturing techniques and technologies. By leveraging model-based data and site analytics, the AWP Lead will establish a standard process to analyze and trend on-site performance, identifying field constraints, and translating raw site data into quantified, actionable improvements.

Responsibilities

• Act as technical author and owner for master Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) blueprints, schemas, and configurations (e.g., gPoR Mega Scale baselines).
• Localize and improve site-specific Field Assembly Plants (FAPs) and Installation Work Packages (IWPs), converting legacy documents into structured executable baselines.
• Partner with regional Building Information Modeling (BIM)/design strategy leads to review and verify that localized AWP designs match baseline modular schemas before sign-off.
• Apply Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) principles to shift field delivery from traditional stick-built construction to standardized modular assembly.
• Maintain standardized work packages integrating construction, procurement, and commissioning for a unified lifecycle approach.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Data Science, a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of experience in technical program management, advanced work packaging (AWP), or capital project engineering within data centers, technical manufacturing, or modular construction environments.
• Experience in data integration and analytics, developing or maintaining data automation models, relational tracking systems (such as SQL, BigQuery, spreadsheet software/Sheets automation, or Apps Script), and reporting dashboards to identify and quantify execution trends.

Preferred qualifications:

• Advanced proficiency in 3D/4D visual planning tools, ACC, BIM 360, Revit, Navisworks, or equivalent construction and design data environments.
• Understanding of modular design, factory-built integration, and DFMA processes, with a track record of transitioning traditional construction processes to standardized assembly methods.
• Strong verbal and written communication and negotiation skills, with a proven capability to manage organizational boundaries, drive vendor agreement, partner with regional construction managers, designers, and estimating/controls teams.
