Job Description

Quality Infratech Intelligence (QII) seeks a Director, Construction & Development Services, as a senior regional leader responsible for the end-to-end delivery of advanced manufacturing site construction and capital development programs across a portfolio of campuses. This position drives strategic alignment between development pipelines, capital deployment, customer commitments, and operational readiness, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and technical performance.

Operating at the intersection of development, design, construction, commissioning, and operations, the Director leads cross-functional teams and external delivery partners across all phases of the project lifecycle: from site diligence and entitlement through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover to operations.

In addition to project delivery responsibilities, this role will play a key part in helping establish the systems, standards, governance frameworks, and operating procedures necessary to scale QII’s development platform across multiple markets. The ideal candidate is a decisive, entrepreneurial leader with deep expertise in mission-critical facility delivery and a proven track record managing complex, multi-site programs in hyperscale, colocation, or advanced infrastructure environments.
