Labor Strategy and Delivery Lead, Data Center Construction

Job description

Meta is seeking a Labor Strategy and Delivery Lead to serve as our in-house subject-matter expert and primary owner-side point of contact for construction labor and union relations across hyperscale AI and production data center campus development. Skilled-trades and craft-labor availability is one of the largest risks to the speed and certainty of capacity delivery; this role exists to help define and drive the strategy that de-risks it. While our general contractors and trade partners independently control their workforce and labor relations, this role gives Meta a dedicated in-house capability to assess labor-market conditions, anticipate constraints, and promptly escalate labor issues that may affect campus construction. The role spans strategy and execution—from regional labor-market assessment and workforce pipeline alignment, to monitoring and escalating union, local, or contractor association issues on or near an active campus. The mission of the role is to enable the reliable delivery of data center capacity by building and sustaining the construction workforce our campuses depend on. The role helps develop the labor pipeline, supports contractor and trade relationships as it pertains to labor and workforce, and proactively addresses the labor-market and labor-relations risks that affect cost, schedule, and constructability. The role works closely with Delivery, Engineering, Legal, Policy/Government Affairs, and Operations to ensure labor strategy is aligned with the objectives and needs of the business, and to ensure labor is never the constraint that derails capacity.
