  • Enforce site safety requirements and maintain high quality and compliance standards across all projects.
  • Coordinate complex technical activities including commissioning, shutdown planning, MOP development, and energized work.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field (equivalent experience considered).
  • 7+ years of project management experience in data center construction environments including complex infrastructure or capital projects.
  • Proven experience leading large-scale ($50M+), technically complex projects with mission-critical MEP infrastructure and demanding schedules.
  • Experience managing project financials, procurement activities, and contract execution across complex delivery models.
  • Strong working knowledge of mission-critical MEP systems, critical power/cooling infrastructure, and commissioning practices.
  • Ability to travel up to 50% as needed.
  • Professional certifications such as PE, PMP, CCM, CDCP®, or DCDC® (preferred).
