Job Description

At Compu Dynamics, we don't just build infrastructure—we create the backbone of the digital future. As North America's premier technology infrastructure design-build partner, we design, construct, and maintain mission-critical data centers for some of the world's most innovative companies. With roots in one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the world, our growth is as intentional as our impact.

Summary / Objective :

The Deployment Manager plays a critical role in delivering Compu Dynamics' next-generation AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure solutions. This position oversees the mechanical deployment and field integration of advanced cooling systems — including liquid cooling, CDU skids, fan walls, and other mission-critical components — across data center environments. Acting as the key liaison between OEM partners, internal project teams, and field operations, the Deployment Manager ensures projects are executed safely, on schedule, and to the highest quality standards.

This role is ideal for a mechanically minded leader with hands-on experience delivering complex infrastructure projects, who thrives in a dynamic, fast-growing division focused on emerging technologies and innovative deployment models.

Essential Functions :

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

1. Mechanical Deployment & Field Execution

  • Lead the planning, coordination, and execution of mechanical deployment activities for AI and HPC infrastructure projects across multiple regions.
  • Oversee installation and integration of liquid cooling systems, CDU skids, fan walls, and other mechanical components.
  • Partner closely with OEMs to ensure proper system delivery, handling, and field readiness.
  • Monitor field activities to ensure compliance with design intent, installation standards, and manufacturer requirements.

2. Project Coordination & Client Interface

  • Serve as the primary deployment point of contact for clients, OEM partners, and internal stakeholders throughout the installation and commissioning phases.
  • Collaborate with project management, engineering, and integration teams to align deployment plans with project milestones and site readiness.
  • Support project scheduling, sequencing, and resource allocation to drive on-time delivery.
  • 3. Commissioning & Startup Support

  • Coordinate and support system commissioning, testing, and startup activities to ensure performance aligns with project specifications and operational goals.
  • Troubleshoot deployment or integration issues in the field and partner with internal and external teams to resolve them quickly.
  • Provide technical feedback to engineering and product teams to improve deployment efficiency and reliability.
  • 4. Safety, Quality, and Continuous Improvement

  • Champion Compu Dynamics' safety culture by enforcing safety protocols and ensuring all deployment activities comply with OSHA, site, and client requirements.
  • Oversee quality assurance processes in the field, including inspection, verification, and documentation of work performed.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline deployment workflows and enhance standard operating procedures as the AI & HPC division scales.
  • Competencies :

  • Technical Expertise – Deep understanding of mechanical systems, liquid cooling technologies, CDU skids, fan walls, and other mission-critical infrastructure components.
  • Project Coordination – Proven ability to plan, coordinate, and execute deployment activities across multiple projects and geographies while aligning with project schedules and client expectations.
  • Field Leadership – Strong leadership presence in the field, with the ability to guide technicians, contractors, and OEM partners while maintaining safety and quality standards.
  • Collaboration & Communication – Exceptional ability to build strong relationships and serve as a trusted liaison between OEMs, clients, internal teams, and field personnel.
  • Problem Solving & Adaptability – Skilled at troubleshooting issues in real time, adapting to evolving site conditions, and finding creative solutions to complex deployment challenges.
  • Quality & Safety Focus – Demonstrated commitment to maintaining rigorous quality standards and ensuring safe work practices throughout all phases of deployment.
  • Innovation Mindset – Ability to embrace and apply emerging technologies, tools, and deployment strategies to support the rapid growth of AI & HPC infrastructure.
  • Continuous Improvement – Passion for refining processes, developing best practices, and driving operational excellence as the division scales.
  • Work Environment :

    This position involves frequent travel to data center construction and deployment sites, often requiring coordination across multiple regions. Work is performed in both office and field environments, with regular interaction across internal teams, clients, and external vendors.

    Travel :

    This position requires regional and national travel up to 70% of the time on average, including occasional travel with limited notice.

    Position Type :

    This is a full-time, exempt position. Hours may vary depending on customer needs and project requirements.

    Required Education and Experience :

  • 8–12+ years of experience in mechanical deployment, field installation, or construction management in mission-critical or data center environments
  • Experience with liquid cooling, CDU skids, fan walls, or other HPC mechanical infrastructure strongly preferred
  • Background working directly with OEMs and coordinating complex field deployments
  • OSHA 30 or equivalent safety certification preferred
  • PMP or similar project certification a plus
  • Physical Requirements :

  • Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs. and perform physical tasks associated with site inspections and equipment deployment.
