Construction Project Manager – Data Center (Design-Build Focus)

Are you an experienced Project Manager who thrives at the intersection of high-level strategy and complex field execution? Do you have a track record of delivering mission-critical infrastructure?

We are seeking a strategic Construction Project Manager to lead the execution of a large-scale data center project for a hyperscale client. In this role, you will drive performance across design-build teams, ensure alignment with client goals, and serve as the key liaison to owner’s representatives and executive stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

As a pivotal leader on this project, you will bridge the gap between ownership, design, and construction:

  • Lead the Project Lifecycle: Manage everything from preconstruction and design-build integration through commissioning and final turnover.
  • Owner & Stakeholder Relations: Act as the central point of contact for the owner's rep, translating complex field updates into strategic reporting for executive stakeholders.
  • Design-Build Integration: Oversee the performance of design-build partners to ensure constructability, cost-effectiveness, and technical compliance.
  • Infrastructure Oversight: Coordinate critical MEP systems, civil/site development, and structural integration, ensuring everything is fully integrated and ready for commissioning.
  • Project Controls: Monitor schedules, budgets, and risk mitigation plans to keep this fast-paced project on track.
  • Experience: 7+ years in construction management, with a heavy focus on data centers or mission-critical projects.
  • Delivery Model Expertise: Proven success in design-build or Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) environments. Owner's rep experience is highly preferred.
  • Technical Savvy: Deep understanding of complex MEP systems and data center infrastructure. Proficient with P6/MS Project and tools like Procore, Bluebeam, or BIM 360.
  • Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence both site crews and executive-level clients.
Preferred Extras
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or Architecture.
  • Prior experience delivering hyperscale projects in partnership with major tech firms.
  • OSHA 30, PMP, or LEED AP certifications.
What’s In It For You?

We believe in taking care of our people so they can focus on building the future.

  • Elite Projects: Work on cutting-edge, high-exposure infrastructure supporting global tech growth.
  • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical/dental/life coverage, plus access to our wellness program (including personal trainers, yoga classes, and an on-site gym).
  • Perks & Convenience: Enjoy on-site meal preparation and service, paid parking, and competitive wages. Highest per diem in the industry to cover all travel costs.
  • Future Security: Paid training, holidays, vacations, and a company-sponsored 401(k).
