About the job

Responsibilities
  • Serve as the Owner’s Representative Project Manager for the Tenant Fit-Out phase of a newly constructed data center facility, representing owner/developer interests throughout execution, commissioning, and turnover.
  • Provide direct oversight of tenant fit-out construction activities within a completed base build, including white space build-out, power and mechanical distribution extensions, equipment installation, controls integration, and support infrastructure.
  • Act as the primary coordination point between the owner/developer, general contractor, base build team, tenant delivery teams, designers, and commissioning agents to ensure alignment across scopes and responsibilities.
  • Monitor and evaluate general contractor and subcontractor performance relative to approved schedule milestones, quality requirements, safety compliance, and sequencing, without directing construction means or methods.
  • Review, coordinate, and support approvals of submittals, requests for information, design clarifications, and field change requests related to tenant fit-out and system integration scopes.
  • Track and manage tenant-level schedule milestones, ensuring alignment with the overall campus master schedule and commissioning plan.
  • Identify schedule risk and support mitigation or recovery strategies in coordination with project controls leadership.
  • Participate in progress meetings, coordination meetings, and commissioning readiness discussions, documenting action items and driving timely resolution of tenant-fit-out-related issues.
  • Identify risks related to constructability, access, sequencing, shutdowns, system tie-ins, and commissioning readiness, and proactively elevate concerns with recommended paths forward.
  • Support testing, commissioning, punch list execution, and readiness for turnover, verifying tenant systems are complete, coordinated, documented, and aligned with operational requirements.
  • Review and verify progress reporting, change impacts, and pay-application support documentation associated with tenant fit-out scopes, providing recommendations to the owner.
  • Provide clear, concise reporting to owner leadership on progress, risks, decisions, and issues impacting tenant delivery, schedule certainty, and operational readiness.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned by management.

About the company

KALCON manages construction programs for owners of data centers, chip plants, and advanced manufacturing facilities across the United States. It acts as an independent representative for the owner, coordinating designers, contractors, and suppliers rather than carrying out the building work itself. Clients engage the firm for oversight from early planning through construction and testing, with services covering budgets, schedules, safety, and quality. Its assignments include facilities built from the ground up, changes to existing buildings, tenant fit outs, and equipment installation. Founded in 2020, KALCON is headquartered in Tustin, California.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • KALCON reports substantial delivery experience: its portfolio includes more than 15 gigawatts of data center capacity managed.
  • Tualatin commissioning pay is explicit: KALCON lists $140,000-$190,000 for that role.
  • KALCON's Philadelphia planning role supports flexibility: the posting labels it hybrid/remote.

What critics are saying

  • Tulsa's hybrid planning role still requires fieldwork: KALCON specifies consistent site presence and travel as assignments require.
  • Philadelphia predevelopment applicants face credentials requirements: KALCON requires a relevant bachelor's degree and eight years' project experience.
  • Retirement support requires saving: KALCON's Tualatin commissioning posting makes its 4% match conditional on contributing at least 5%.

What makes KALCON unique

  • KALCON handles construction disputes: its claims analysts test contractor requests against contracts, schedules, and project records.
  • KALCON reports semiconductor depth: its managed facility portfolio exceeds 30 million square feet.
  • KALCON's Tulsa planning assignment spans client models: the client acts as a tenant or a developer.
