We are seeking a Digital LV Infrastructure & Controls Director to lead low-voltage infrastructure, controls integration, operational technology systems, and digital operational readiness across Wisconsin regional data center projects.
This role is responsible for ensuring structured cabling, fiber, telecom, BMS/EPMS systems, controls platforms, network infrastructure, and digital systems are fully coordinated, integrated, tested, validated, and startup-ready to support reliable facility operations.
The Digital LV Infrastructure & Controls Director will work closely with construction, commissioning, IT, controls vendors, startup teams, and operations stakeholders to drive digital infrastructure readiness from installation through turnover.
Onsite Expectations: 50–70% field/site engagement depending on startup phase and integration complexity
Internal Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities

- Drive BMS, EPMS, and controls integration readiness
- Ensure systems communications, interoperability, and controls sequence validation
- Coordinate controls vendors, construction teams, commissioning teams, IT, and operations stakeholders
- Support functional testing, startup readiness, and operational validation
- Identify, escalate, and mitigate controls, cabling, and integration risks
- Drive resolution of integration defects, communications issues, and startup blockers
- Validate installation quality, pathway coordination, and digital infrastructure compliance
- Support startup activities for integrated digital systems
- Ensure turnover packages are complete, accurate, and operationally usable
- Establish integration quality expectations and corrective action accountability
Required Skills and Experience
- Strong experience leading low-voltage infrastructure, cabling, controls, BMS, EPMS, telecom, or digital infrastructure delivery in data center, mission-critical, or large-scale construction environments
- Deep understanding of structured cabling, fiber deployment, pathway coordination, telecom systems, and network infrastructure readiness
- Experience with BMS/EPMS integration, controls platforms, OT systems, and systems interoperability
- Knowledge of functional testing, sequence validation, commissioning support, startup readiness, and operational turnover
- Ability to coordinate across construction, commissioning, IT, vendors, controls teams, and operations stakeholders
- Strong understanding of integration risk management, defect resolution, and startup recovery planning
- Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, controls documents, pathway plans, testing records, and turnover packages
- Strong leadership, communication, escalation, and stakeholder management skills
- Proven ability to drive accountability across vendors, contractors, and project teams
- Strong focus on safety, quality, reliability, operational readiness, and execution discipline
Primary Focus Areas
- Digital infrastructure deployment and controls integration
- Low-voltage, cabling, fiber, telecom, and pathway coordination
- BMS/EPMS and controls systems interoperability
- Operational technology readiness and startup support
- Functional testing, sequence validation, and operational validation
- Cross-functional coordination between construction, commissioning, vendors, IT, startup, and operations teams
- Digital infrastructure turnover readiness and handoff quality
On-Site Expectations
This role requires significant field engagement during pathway installation, controls integration, testing, commissioning, and startup activities. Expected onsite presence is approximately 50%–70%, depending on startup phase, project needs, and integration complexity.
Expected onsite engagement includes:
- Validating pathway coordination and routing conditions in the field
- Verifying installation quality and digital infrastructure readiness
- Assessing controls integration progress directly onsite
- Participating in live sequence, functional, and interoperability testing
- Resolving integration conflicts with vendors, construction teams, commissioning, IT, and startup stakeholders
- Coordinating turnover readiness and operational handoff alignment
- Escalating controls and integration risks early and clearly
- Validating deficiencies are resolved before startup milestones
Success in This Role Looks Like
- Cabling and controls systems are delivered on schedule
- Fiber and network infrastructure quality remains consistently high
- Controls systems integrate early with minimal rework
- Startup delays and integration conflicts are reduced
- Operational sequences validate successfully during testing
- Vendors align effectively during startup and commissioning
- Pathways remain coordinated and congestion-free
- Digital systems turnover occurs with minimal deficiencies
- Communications and interoperability issues are resolved early
- Integrated systems operate reliably at startup
- Turnover packages are complete, accurate, and operationally usable
- Digital infrastructure supports stable facility operations from day one
Key Deliverables
- Digital infrastructure deployment plans
- Controls integration and coordination plans
- Fiber testing and certification reports
- Sequence validation and functional testing reports
- Pathway coordination and routing plans
- Controls readiness dashboards
- Integration risk and mitigation trackers
