Job Description
AI Data Centre Installation Supervisor / Foreman — Multiple Positions — Sydney — 12 Month Contracts
Priority Locations: North Sydney, Western Sydney, North West Sydney, Inner West
Buildability Group is currently recruiting experienced Installation Supervisors/Foremen for a series of AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) data centre deployment projects across Sydney. With several roles available across multiple sites, this is a rare opportunity to get in early on Australia’s fastest-growing infrastructure sector — the build-out of next-generation AI compute facilities.
About the role
You’ll oversee the end-to-end physical installation of AI/HPC infrastructure at customer and partner data centre sites — from rack-and-stack through to structured cabling, power and cooling verification, and final customer sign-off. You’ll be the person on the ground coordinating trades, subcontractors and vendors, keeping the job safe, on schedule, and built exactly to spec.
What you’ll be doing
- Supervising field teams and subcontractors delivering rack installation, structured cabling, power and cooling works
- Managing daily site logistics, safety briefings, schedules and site access
- Reading and working from rack elevations, network diagrams and technical drawings
- Verifying installation quality against design documentation — cable management, grounding/bonding, PDU installation, liquid and air cooling systems
- Coordinating delivery logistics, inventory and pre-staging with vendors
- Running initial power-up, burn-in testing and fault reporting
- Compiling as-built documentation and leading customer sign-off on completion
What we’re looking for
- Solid experience in large-scale data centre, HPC or critical infrastructure installations (new build or existing site upgrades)
- Strong understanding of rack-and-stack, structured cabling, power distribution and cooling systems (liquid and air)
- Proven experience leading field crews or subcontractors, with a strong safety-first mindset
- Comfortable reading technical drawings and producing detailed QA documentation
- Excellent communication skills — you’ll be liaising with site teams, engineers, vendors and client stakeholders daily
- Willingness to be based onsite in Sydney for the length of the contract, with some remote/planning work
- NVIDIA-Certified Professional (AI Rack and Interconnect) or similar data centre certification highly regarded, but not essential
What’s on offer
- 12-month contract with genuine potential for extension across future projects
- Work at the forefront of Australia’s AI infrastructure boom
- Sydney-based, with multiple positions currently open
- Competitive rate — negotiable based on experience
- Paid weekly on a day or hourly contract rate
