@jenniehansel
I lead mission-critical data center and construction delivery, aligning teams, risk, budgets, and client outcomes.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At DLB Associates, I represent owner interests for QTS mission-critical data center delivery, coordinating contractors, commissioning teams, engineers, vendors, and specialty trades.
I turn field readiness, energization sequencing, commissioning milestones, documentation, and schedule dependencies into clear owner-level reporting and actionable priorities. I also support QA/QC, pre-functional inspections, commissioning handoffs, and safe execution around energized environments.
Previously at DBJ Designs, I led business strategy and full-lifecycle delivery for more than 50 projects annually across residential, commercial, hospitality, and healthcare sectors. I grew revenue 15–25% year over year, maintained 95%+ on-time/on-budget delivery, and reduced project costs by up to 20% through sourcing, vendor negotiation, and process improvements.
Across construction, design, operations, and business development, I've built and mentored cross-functional teams, strengthened repeat-client relationships, and kept complex portfolios aligned with business objectives.
