Apply for Director, Operations Scheduling & Planning

Big Watt Digital is a mission-critical infrastructure platform developing and operating next-generation, high-density data center campuses built for the demands of AI and advanced digital workloads. Our model brings together large-scale power, digital infrastructure, development execution, and operational discipline to deliver speed, certainty, and scalability.
WHY BIG WATT DIGITAL: We are building at the intersection of energy, data centers, AI infrastructure, and large-scale development—where execution matters.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Change Management Governance: Own the Operational Change Management engine. Standardize technical writing, dual sign-off reviews, and execution approvals for Method of Procedure (MOP), Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), and Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP) documents.
• Risk Window Orchestration: Define Low, Medium, and Critical risk maintenance windows. Coordinate multi-site maintenance calendars to prevent overlapping risks and guarantee concurrent maintainability across critical electrical and mechanical loops.
• Integrated Outage & Maintenance Master Planning: Partner with Reliability Engineers and Facility Managers to translate CMMS/EAM preventive maintenance tasks into seamless, optimized daily, weekly, and annual shift execution plans.
• Customer SLA Alignment: Serve as the primary operational buffer between site engineering teams and customer-facing delivery leads, ensuring planned maintenance schedules align strictly with tenant SLA commitments.
• Contingency & Workload Redirection: Develop workload redirection and contingency scheduling frameworks for force majeure events, sudden weather disruptions, or unexpected system impairments.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• First 90 days: Standardize MOP/SOP/EOP authoring and approval workflows across all campuses; establish regional Change Advisory Board (CAB) review cadence.
• First 6 months: Eliminate maintenance-related operational conflicts and achieve 100% adherence to planned maintenance windows across all critical loops.
• First 12 months: Optimize annual maintenance scheduling to improve maintenance resource efficiency by 25% while maintaining 100% uptime SLA performance.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 15+ years in mission-critical facility planning, outage management, or operational risk scheduling within hyperscale data centers or complex industrial plants.
• Deep knowledge of technical MOP/SOP authoring, 3-way documentation frameworks, and strict change management governance.
• Proven track record of running centralized operational scheduling across multi-site, 24/7/365 campus deployments.
