The Innovator Team is comprised of four cross-functional teams: Leadership, Product Development, Fabrication & Integration, and Realization. Each team leads their aspect of the innovation flow-through, yet they are deeply interrelated and comprised of cross-functional partners across the broader organization. These teams operate as partners, driving timely and effective change. The Fabrication & Integration Team’s primary focus is with supply chain engagement and evolution of our offsite fabricated components. The team’s charter is to develop offsite manufacturing (industrialized component “construction”) to support and improve our datacenter build program’s safety, quality, sustainability, and timeliness; all while reducing reliance on specialized trade labor.**Required Skills:** 1. Research and develop manufacturing drawings of designated components in support of increased construction efficiency.2. Manage the prototyping and mockup efforts with in-flight project sites including the communications with site teams, vendors, partners, and other stakeholder groups. This includes reporting on status, lessons learned, and adjustments needed to refine the designs of the components.3. Identify and support assessment of new vendors to qualify, grow, evolve, and measure, for potential use in the program.4. Research, assess, and report on vendor availability and potential throughput, project demand curves, and sourcing projections for components targeted for manufacturing.5. Manage status updates on component development.6. Research and report on industry trends as needed to support the team efforts.7. Partner with cross functional teams on related efforts to ensure alignment and transparency across Design, Engineering, & Construction (DEC).8. Partner with cross functional teams to assess cost and schedule impacts related to components and keep the team updated as to trends, risks, and other issues identified by this data.9.
