About the job

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

In this role, you will be responsible for the design, development, and deployment of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) programs and initiatives across a defined area. You will work with Google Data Center partners, general contractors, electrical/mechanical trades and organizations, key integrators, fabricators, and commissioning agents to improve the EHS programs and performance on our projects. You will engage in pre-qualification evaluations of potential vendors, update the project manual, and communicate EHS expectations. You will be involved in strategic planning, risk mitigation, and on-time delivery. You will be tracking a set of performance metrics, developing and implementing best practices including lessons learned, and regularly reporting to stakeholders to help the organization scale efficiently.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development and ownership of the EHS program for area construction oversight and data collection.
• Ensure that contractors deliver on program safety performance expectations and agreement requirements, providing solutions to issues.
• Monitor, advise, and assist the construction project teams to protect people, environment, and ensure compliance.
• Drive a culture that embraces a continuous learning approach and aligns with organizational strategies including goals and objectives.
• Collaborate with the wider Construction EHS team to ensure best practices are implemented, progress reported, trends and data captured and analyzed, and risks mitigated to an acceptable level ensuring that the operational capacity of a live Data Center is maintained.
