• Support scheduling with 3‑week lookaheads, critical path tracking, and variance reporting.
• Maintain detailed documentation in construction management software (e.g., daily logs, RFIs, progress photos, safety reports).

• Oversee data center‑specific elements like raised flooring, advanced HVAC, electrical redundancies, and sustainable features.
• Align field efforts with GC, developer, and owner’s rep goals to optimize cost, timeline, and quality on this multi‑billion dollar build.

• Bachelor’s in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field—or equivalent field experience.
• 5+ years in field operations/superintendent roles on industrial/commercial projects ($100M+); data center or mission‑critical experience preferred.
• Expertise in site safety, logistics, MEP systems, BIM coordination, and subcontractor management.
• Proven ability to deliver complex projects on time/budget in fast‑paced settings.
• Strong communicator with a team‑oriented mindset; skilled in mentoring diverse crews.
• Proficient in field tools/software (e.g., Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project); knowledge of data center standards (e.g., Uptime Institute tiers).
