Manufacturing is a pillar within Meta’s Preconstruction Team supporting datacenter construction. We exist to support the predictable delivery of capacity at scale through manufactured solutions. The Manufacturing Team’s primary focus is supply chain engagement and optimization. We facilitate Manufacturing Informed Designed (MID) components and orchestrate their detailing and prototyping to optimum manufacturability, then work with our partners to plan logistics, production, and integration to optimize construction. This team is comprised of strategic designers, strategic builders, tactical specialists, plus internal and external subject matter experts (SME) including Preconstruction Managers, Contractors, Schedulers, Equipment Reliability Engineers, and Sourcing Specialists. This position will lead program management of designated manufactured components in support of Meta's North America construction program. This program is of such scale that it requires a results-oriented PM to drive strategic and tactical aspects of first-of-kind prototyping, logistics, and integration. Never before has the datacenter industry relied so heavily on offsite construction; a necessity here to deliver a program of this magnitude on a fast-paced timeline. The Program Manager will be responsible for leading the full lifecycle of major infrastructure offsite-manufactured components culminating in timely delivery and integration.
