Project Manager Data Center Construction

Data Center Construction Project Manager

Role (Opening/Closing no Bullet Points, WIFM 1,2,3):

Are you looking to join a privately held, well-capitalized global data center developer at the exact moment it's breaking into the US market. Backed by a major international real estate and infrastructure investor, the company operates a multi-gigawatt landbank spanning dozens of sites across multiple continents, delivering hyperscale, build-to-suit, colocation, and AI-optimized infrastructure for some of the world's largest technology customers.

Its US entry comes with a multi-billion-dollar capital commitment and an ambitious multi-year capacity target across several states — this isn't a slow, cautious expansion, it's a company moving fast with capital already in place. Given how early this is, you'll carry meaningful ownership in growing the US division!

• Take full ownership of project delivery for a new-build hyperscale data center, from early site work through to completion
• Manage and coordinate the general contractor, subcontractors, consultants, and vendors, keeping delivery aligned to scope, schedule, and cost
• Provide hands‑on oversight of on‑site work streams — civil, structural, MEP, utility tie‑ins, and critical infrastructure installation
• Work in lockstep with internal design, procurement, development, and operations teams to keep the project moving and get ahead of issues before they become blockers
• Put strong project controls in place — tracking, reporting, risk management, and a clear change‑management process
• Keep the project compliant with safety, environmental, and applicable local/state regulatory requirements
• Push the project toward commissioning readiness and support a clean handover to the operations team
• Act as the company's senior on‑site representative, owning delivery outcomes locally

• 8+ years' experience in data center construction, mission‑critical facilities, or comparable large‑scale industrial projects
• A demonstrated track record delivering ground‑up builds, from early site work through to commissioning
• Solid technical grounding in MEP systems, electrical distribution, cooling infrastructure, and critical‑path scheduling
• Experience with hyperscale operators, colocation developers, or top‑tier mission‑critical contractors strongly preferred
• Comfortable leading multi‑stakeholder projects in a fast‑moving, high‑growth environment
• Strong communication, negotiation, and contractor‑management skills
• Based on‑site (or willing to relocate) for the duration of the build
• Annual bonus paid bi‑annually
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid Time Off and company holidays
• Opportunity to work on industry‑leading hyperscale data center projects
