ABOUT THE ROLE

Lease Crutcher Lewis is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead large, complex data center and mission critical construction projects in Phoenix. This role is ideal for a construction leader who thrives in technically demanding environments, builds trusted client relationships, and can align project teams around safety, quality, schedule certainty, cost control, and operational excellence.

As Senior Project Manager, you will lead all aspects of project delivery, including client engagement, pursuit support, preconstruction, construction execution, closeout, and warranty. You will provide senior-level oversight for one large data center project or multiple complex projects, guiding project teams, trade partners, and stakeholders through highly coordinated work where schedule, safety, quality, commissioning, logistics, procurement, and risk management are critical to success.

The ideal candidate brings significant general contracting project management experience, proven leadership of large project teams, and demonstrated success delivering data centers, mission critical facilities, advanced technology, industrial, healthcare, or similarly complex projects. Experience in fast-growth markets, phased delivery, long-lead procurement, commissioning coordination, and highly collaborative client environments is strongly preferred.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• You build trust with clients by understanding their business priorities, communicating transparently, and helping the team make smart decisions around scope, cost, schedule, risk, constructability, and operational requirements.
• You lead complex project teams with clarity, accountability, and a steady presence, especially in fast-paced data center environments where priorities, design details, procurement needs, and site conditions can evolve quickly.
• You keep teams aligned around safety, quality, schedule commitments, budget performance, commissioning milestones, client expectations, and Lewis’ values.
• You anticipate challenges early, elevate risks appropriately, and bring practical, solutions-oriented thinking to complex project conversations.
• You develop strong project teams by setting clear expectations, mentoring others, delegating effectively, and creating an environment where people can do their best work.
• You contribute to Lewis’ presence in the Phoenix market by representing the company with professionalism, ownership, and a strong client-service mindset.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Marketing and Client Relationships

• Act as a leader in assigned marketing and business development activities, including pursuit support, RFP responses, interview preparation, and client engagement.
• Develop and maintain close working relationships with clients, design partners, consultants, trade partners, and internal teams.
• Lead or support the sales process by helping shape win strategies, proposal content, project approach, team preparation, and interview messaging.
• Serve as a trusted senior partner to clients by understanding their goals, anticipating needs, communicating openly, and helping resolve issues before they impact the project experience.
• Represent Lewis in the Phoenix market with professionalism and an ownership mindset, maintaining relationships that support current and future opportunities.

Data Center and Preconstruction Leadership

• Lead or actively support projects from early planning and preconstruction through construction, commissioning, closeout, and warranty.
• Collaborate with owners, designers, engineers, estimators, superintendents, trade partners, commissioning teams, and consultants to align project goals, budget, schedule, scope, logistics, procurement, phasing, safety, and constructability.
• Help guide early decision-making by identifying cost, schedule, procurement, design coordination, utility, equipment, commissioning, phasing, and constructability considerations.
• Support conceptual budgets, GMP development, bid packages, scope reviews,…
