We're hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of cutting-edge data center construction projects across the U.S. You'll play a critical role in turning aggressive capacity goals into real-world infrastructure, managing every phase from design to handover — with a laser focus on cost, schedule, and quality.

If you're an experienced builder who thrives in high-stakes environments and enjoys cross-functional leadership, this is your opportunity to work on projects that power the future of AI and high-performance computing.

• Lead all phases of data center construction projects: from planning and procurement to buildout and commissioning
• Develop and manage detailed project schedules using Primavera P6 or MS Project
• Own project budgeting, forecasting, and change management, including weekly earned-value tracking
• Identify and mitigate risks tied to long-lead equipment (e.g., transformers, chillers, switchgear)
• Run phase-gate design reviews (30/60/90%), maintain RACI charts, and coordinate action items
• Oversee the contracting process: RFP issuance, bid reviews, awards, and PCO tracking through closeout
• Provide consistent, data-driven status updates to internal stakeholders and executive teams
• Act as the on-site lead, ensuring alignment across trades, vendors, and internal teams

✅ What You Bring

• 7+ years of project management experience in data centers, industrial, or mission-critical infrastructure
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or a related discipline
• Deep understanding of CSA and MEP scopes, construction sequencing, and risk management
• Proficiency with:
• Scheduling tools: Primavera P6, MS Project
• Cost tracking: Procore, Ares, Excel
• Collaboration tools: Smartsheet, Confluence
• PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent certification (preferred)
• Strong communication skills — able to interface confidently with trades, vendors, and executives

📍 Work Location

• U.S.-based candidates only
• Role is on-site at data center locations (travel required; site assignments vary by project)
