Program Manager, Manufacturing

Manufacturing is a pillar within Meta’s Preconstruction Team supporting datacenter construction. We exist to support the predictable delivery of capacity at scale through manufactured solutions.The Manufacturing (aka Manufactured Owner Furnished Equipment “MOFE”) Team’s primary focus is supply chain engagement and optimization. We accept Manufacturing Informed Designed (MID) components and orchestrate their detailing and prototyping to optimum manufacturability, then manage our supply chain and work with our partners to plan logistics and integration optimized construction.This team is comprised of strategic designers, strategic builders, tactical specialists, plus internal and external subject matter experts (SME) including preconstruction managers, contractors, schedulers, equipment reliability engineers, and sourcing specialists.
