With 25 years of trusted execution, we deliver reliable, affordable energy through a diverse portfolio that includes natural gas, solar, land-based wind, energy storage, transmission, and domestic manufacturing. Headquartered in Chicago, we develop, own, and operate large scale projects that power communities and support the energy future.

Invenergy follows a hybrid schedule, working in office Monday through Thursday and remotely on Fridays if work permits. This position will be open for application for at least 3 calendar days from the posting date. This position will remain open for application based on business need, which may be before or after the 3-day posting window.

Invenergy is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager, Data Center Construction & Delivery to join its Digital Infrastructure business line. This individual will serve as Invenergy's primary owner-side construction and delivery representative for assigned data center projects, responsible for driving execution from preconstruction through construction, commissioning, turnover, and closeout. Invenergy will primarily deliver these projects through external architects and engineers, general contractors, commissioning providers, equipment manufacturers, and specialty partners.

This is not a self-perform design or construction role. The Senior Technical Program Manager will lead and hold these partners accountable on behalf of Invenergy, with significant responsibility for construction strategy, partner performance, schedule, cost, quality, risk, commissioning, and successful project turnover. The role will support projects ranging from individual data center facilities to multi-building campuses, including greenfield and adaptive-reuse developments.

Projects may range from tens of megawatts to campuses representing hundreds of megawatts of capacity. The successful candidate will bring significant direct data center delivery experience and strong working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, controls, utility, fire/life-safety, and commissioning systems. This individual must be able to challenge project teams, understand critical interfaces and sequencing, identify execution risks early, and drive informed decisions.

The role will work cross-functionally across Invenergy and directly with customers to translate technical, energization, commissioning, and turnover requirements into executable delivery plans. This is an opportunity to help build Invenergy's data center delivery platform at an early stage—shaping how projects are contracted, managed, commissioned, and delivered as the Digital Infrastructure portfolio scales.
