the epc infrastructure manager is the commercial owner of the post-award epc relationship on behalf of northmark strategies for our ofci data center build. Once the epc contract is signed, this role runs the day-to-day contractual and commercial execution through construction closeout.

this is a senior individual contributor role sitting inside grey space procurement, embedded with construction, engineering, and the grey space category buyers. The role does not source or negotiate the initial epc award. It owns everything that happens after — change management, progress payments, claims, back-charges, warranty, and the commercial interface where owner-furnished mechanical and electrical equipment meets epc-installed scope.

success in this role protects schedule, contains cost growth, and keeps the ofci-to-epc handoff clean across both mechanical and electrical infrastructure.

epc contract administration

• own day-to-day administration of the executed epc agreement through construction and closeout.
• manage the change order process end-to-end: review, negotiate, and disposition contractor-initiated change requests and owner-directed changes.
• track and enforce contractual obligations covering scope, schedule, deliverables, insurance, bonding, safety, and reporting.
• administer progress payments: review pay applications against schedule of values, verify earned value and stored materials, coordinate lien waivers, and manage retention release.
• manage claims, disputes, back-charges, and liquidated damages events; drive resolution and document positions for the record.

ofci-to-epc commercial interface (mechanical and electrical)

• serve as the commercial point of contact between owner-furnished mechanical and electrical equipment purchases and epc installation scope.
• coordinate with grey space category buyers to align ofci delivery milestones with the epc construction sequence; elevate commercial risk when equipment slippage threatens the epc schedule.
• manage os&d, warranty transition, and responsibility allocation between oems, freight carriers, the epc, and the owner across both disciplines.
• track and enforce epc responsibilities for receiving, offloading, storage, and installation of ofci equipment.

commercial risk management

• maintain the current contractual position: exposure, forecasted cost-to-complete, pending changes, and open commercial risks.
• partner with project controls, finance, and legal on cost reporting, forecasting, and escalation of material commercial risks.
• review rfis, submittals, and design changes for commercial impact and flag scope creep before it becomes a claim.

closeout and warranty

• drive contractual closeout: punchlist completion, final payment, retention release, warranty documentation, and lien resolution.
• coordinate warranty transition from epc and oems to [company]'s operations team; ensure warranty terms are captured and enforceable.

• 10+ years of experience in epc contract administration, construction contracts management, or owner's commercial management on capital projects.
• direct post-award ownership of epc, epcm, design-build, or comparable construction agreements at the $50m+ package level.
• working knowledge…
