This role is based on an active construction site for a confidential data center project.

The environment includes typical construction conditions such as noise, dust, varying weather, uneven surfaces, and ongoing equipment and material movement. Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hat, safety glasses, high-visibility vest, gloves, and appropriate footwear, is required at all times on site. Work hours generally follow standard construction schedules and may include early starts or extended hours depending on project needs.
