I would validate desktop research through utility, provider, and local-authority engagement, then use a scoring model and sensitivity analysis to recommend the strongest options. What factors do you assess when evaluating a colocation provider? I assess facility resiliency, power density, cooling capability, network ecosystem, security, compliance certifications, expansion capacity, operating history, and financial stability. I also review SLA terms, outage credits, renewal mechanics, cross-connect costs, energy pricing, and exit or migration provisions to understand the full lifecycle cost and risk. Describe how you would manage a power-availability risk for a proposed data center site. I would confirm available and committed capacity directly with the utility, distinguish current supply from future planned supply, and assess interconnection timelines, substation requirements, redundancy, and curtailment exposure. I would model phased capacity scenarios, identify alternative supply options, and make the risk visible in the business case and site-selection recommendation. How do you align engineering, finance, legal, and construction stakeholders during site selection? I create a common decision framework with defined requirements, owners, milestones, and approval gates. Engineering validates technical resilience, finance evaluates total cost and returns, legal reviews property and contractual risk, and construction confirms schedule and buildability; I consolidate those inputs into a transparent recommendation with documented trade-offs. How would you negotiate a colocation agreement to protect long-term flexibility? I would seek clear service levels and remedies, transparent power and pass-through pricing, expansion rights, renewal controls, audit rights, security and compliance commitments, and practical migration or termination provisions. I would also negotiate capacity reservation and delivery milestones that align with forecasted demand while avoiding excessive take-or-pay exposure. Opportunity details ## About this role.
