Project Manager

The Project Manager manages day-to-day execution of a data center build across internal teams, EPC partners, and vendors, and is accountable for driving actions, risks, and deliverables to closure. The Program Director owns the outcome; the PM owns the machine that produces it - the operating cadence, the decision velocity, and the follow-through that keeps a hundred moving pieces converging on energization.

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

Execution Management

Run the project's operating rhythm: weekly execution meetings, action and decision logs, deliverable tracking across engineering, supply chain, construction, and commissioning. Clear blockers fast; when you escalate, bring the recommendation and the trade-offs, not just the problem.

EPC Partner & Vendor Management

Manage GC/EPC partners, consultants, and vendors against contracted scope, milestones, and quality. Run partner coordination meetings, hold deliverable schedules, manage submittal and RFI throughput jointly with engineering, and keep long-lead equipment (with supply chain) tied to the installation schedule.

Scope, Risk & Change Support

Guard scope: catch creep early and route it through the change process. Feed the risk register with emerging design, procurement, and field issues; own mitigation actions assigned to you; and support the Risk & Change Manager on entitlement and pricing reviews.

Cost & Schedule Partnership

Work daily with the Planner/Scheduler and Cost Controller: challenge progress claims, understand critical-path drivers, support forecasts and accrual inputs, and validate invoices against actual progress.

Stakeholder Management & Reporting

Produce sharp weekly project status for the Program Director and leadership - schedule health, top risks, decisions needed, and commitments made. Represent the project in utility, AHJ, customer, and Managed Services coordination as delegated.

Commissioning & Turnover Drive

Own the project-management side of the commissioning runway: Cx prerequisites, vendor technician scheduling, punch velocity, and turnover documentation completeness with the CXQC Field Manager.

-      What we're looking for:

- 6+ years of project management on data center, mission-critical, or heavy industrial construction programs, with owner's-side or EPC delivery experience.

- Proven record running execution across owners, EPC partners, and vendors - and driving open items to closure without being asked twice.

- Working knowledge of construction contracts (GMP/lump sum/EPC), submittal and RFI workflows, and long-lead procurement dynamics.

- Fluency in P6-driven schedules and earned-value/cost fundamentals - enough to challenge a progress claim credibly.

- Risk and change process literacy: notices, entitlement basics, and disciplined documentation.

- Excellent written communication; your weekly report is the project's source of truth.

- Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or related field; PMP a plus.

- Comfortable with significant site presence during peak construction and commissioning (up to 50%).

- Calm and decisive under schedule pressure - the person the room looks at when something breaks.
