Technical Program Manager, Environmental Compliance

About the Technical Program Manager, Environmental Compliance Role at Google

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 Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

Google Data Centers (GDC) makes up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures on the planet. As GDC is planning for the next wave of data center growth, it has built an exceptional Environmental, and Health and Safety (EHS) program to scale compliance and safety excellence in design, construction, commissioning, deployment and operations of data centers.

As a member of the team, you will be responsible for supporting new site acquisition and construction growth for the environmental program from initial due diligence to time critical environmental permitting completion. You will play a critical part in ensuring all environmental issues are identified and addressed by working collaboratively with a cross functional team of GDC departments and contractors to protect Google’s interests. This role will also be responsible for creating accurate and coordinated timelines that support the stakeholder GDC teams in meeting scheduled timelines while ensuring compliance with established EHS standards and local regulations. You will also provide program leadership and oversight to new and critical EHS initiatives.
