Full Job Description
The Construction Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on
  • Put gigawatts in the ground, faster than anyone has. We're delivering one of the largest data center buildouts of its kind, with many sites running at once. Traditional construction management breaks at this scale, so we're building the model that replaces it.
  • Throw out traditional construction and invent how gigawatts get built. Tons of tools, layers of process, and administrative drag don't get you there. You'll strip all of that out and win by solving the real problem and beating the goal, not by managing toward it.
  • Productize the data center so we can build it a thousand times. You'll turn one-off construction into a repeatable, modular build, where the hundredth site goes up faster and cleaner than the first. That repeatability is the only way to reach the scale we're targeting.
Role Scope
  • Drive the planning, budgeting, and risk-management engine behind global data centers, turning capacity targets into executable project plans and keeping every stakeholder aligned from kickoff to customer handover.
  • Build integrated schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, and own the master construction schedule from site mobilization through substantial completion and turnover.
  • Own project budgets, cash-flow forecasts, and change-order governance, and report earned-value KPIs weekly.
  • Facilitate phase-gate and design reviews, maintain RACI matrices and action logs, and manage contract lifecycles: RFP, bid analysis, award, PCO tracking, and close-out.
  • Identify critical-path and long-lead risks (transformers, chillers, switchgear) and drive mitigation, and act as the single source of truth for internal leadership and external partners.
  • Lead cross-functional delivery teams (project managers, construction managers, superintendents), develop staffing plans, and run standups, reviews, and retrospectives.
What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've led project management on hyperscale data center, large industrial, or infrastructure builds, delivering fast-track projects across multiple geographies.
  • You know civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical scopes, procurement workflows, and cost controls deeply.
  • You're an expert with scheduling (P6, MS Project), cost (Procore, Ares, Excel), and collaboration (Smartsheet, Confluence) tools.
  • You communicate clearly in writing and in person, comfortable with executives and trades alike.
  • You've built and scaled project teams across regions and time zones, align technical and commercial stakeholders under shared goals, and you'll travel 80-100% to active sites.
  • Bonus: PMI-PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent. Construction management qualification. Multi-region fast-track delivery.


Salary & Benefits
  • Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
  • Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
