Brailsford & Dunlavey (B&D), now part of Project Management Advisors (PMA), is seeking a Senior Construction Manager to support our Data Center projects in West Texas.

This is an on-site role in West Texas.

An opportunity for an experienced construction management professional who thrives in complex, fast-paced environments, enjoys leading multidisciplinary teams, and is motivated to deliver mission-critical facilities that support the future of technology and digital infrastructure.

At Brailsford & Dunlavey (B&D), we lead the planning, development, and management of the places that shape and strengthen communities—where people live, learn, work, and innovate. B&D partners with institutions, municipalities, and organizations to deliver complex real estate and capital projects through strategic advisory and program management services across the full project lifecycle.

B&D recently joined forces with Project Management Advisors (PMA), bringing together two nationally recognized leaders in program management and real estate advisory services. Together, the combined firm offers expanded capabilities across industries and end-to-end project delivery—from early-stage strategy through design, construction, and occupancy.

The Construction Manager (CM) is responsible for the direct, on-site execution and delivery of Data Center buildings, acting as the primary field representative for the Owner’s team. Reporting to the Owner’s Representative / Project Manager (ORPM) and the owners team, the CM ensures the General Contractor (GC) achieves excellence in field productivity, schedule adherence, quality, and safety. This role is critical for driving the pace of on-site work, resolving field-level issues before they impact project milestones, and providing the ORPM with accurate, data-driven updates on construction progress.

The CM will focus on the tactical, day-to-day management of mass grading, core & shell, and the high-volume fit-out of mission-critical infrastructure required for AI campuses.

• Be the primary on-site leader for the Owner, driving a culture of accountability, proactivity, and relentless focus on project goals directly with the GC and trade partners.
• Bring deep construction expertise to the field, ensuring that work is installed correctly the first time, in accordance with the design, and meets the highest standards of quality
• Focus on tracking field productivity to provide an objective measure of progress and to identify performance deviations early
• Daily site walk to anticipate and resolve conflicts, logistical bottlenecks, and construction challenges at the field level before they elevate into schedule delays or cost impacts
• Champion a world-class safety culture on site through daily safety walks, active participation in the GC’s safety program, and ensuring behavioral-based safety is a priority for every worker in the field
• Monitor and verify construction progress against the GC's P6 schedule on a daily basis, walking the site to ensure activities are starting and finishing as planned
• Manage weekly work-plan reviews with the GC to scrutinize the 3-week look-ahead schedule, identifying constraints and ensuring all necessary resources (labor, material, equipment) are aligned for success
• When field progress deviates from the schedule, work directly with the GC to develop and implement recovery and acceleration plans, monitoring their effectiveness and reporting results to the ORPM
• Conduct daily site inspections to ensure the quality of work meets or exceeds contract specifications and drawings. Document and track the resolution of all non-conforming work
• Coordinate with and monitor the activities of the third-party testing agency, ensuring all required material tests (soils, concrete, etc.) are performed correctly and results are communicated promptly
• Provide a concise daily report to the ORPM…
