Role Scope

Drive the planning, budgeting, and risk-management engine behind global data centers, turning capacity targets into executable project plans and keeping every stakeholder aligned from kickoff to customer handover.

  • Build integrated schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, and own the master construction schedule from site mobilization through substantial completion and turnover.
  • Own project budgets, cash-flow forecasts, and change-order governance, and report earned-value KPIs weekly.
  • Facilitate phase-gate and design reviews, maintain RACI matrices and action logs, and manage contract lifecycles: RFP, bid analysis, award, PCO tracking, and close-out.
  • Identify critical-path and long-lead risks (transformers, chillers, switchgear) and drive mitigation, and act as the single source of truth for internal leadership and external partners.
  • Lead cross-functional delivery teams (project managers, construction managers, superintendents), develop staffing plans, and run standups, reviews, and retrospectives.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

  • You've led project management on hyperscale data center, large industrial, or infrastructure builds, delivering fast-track projects across multiple geographies.
  • You know civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical scopes, procurement workflows, and cost controls deeply.
  • You're an expert with scheduling (P6, MS Project), cost (Procore, Ares, Excel), and collaboration (Smartsheet, Confluence) tools.
  • You communicate clearly in writing and in person, comfortable with executives and trades alike.
  • You've built and scaled project teams across regions and time zones, align technical and commercial stakeholders under shared goals, and you'll travel 50%+ to active sites as projects require.
  • Bonus: PMI-PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent. Construction management qualification. Multi-region fast-track delivery.
