Responsible for the technical execution of SLB Data Center projects, acting as the local point of contact for all technical matters on the assigned projects. Reporting to the Technical Manager, the Project Technical Manager translates portfolio-level technical direction into day-to-day execution, ensuring that client-provided designs are built correctly, that technical interfaces between contractors and disciplines are resolved at the project level, and that technical issues are cleared quickly to keep construction moving. This is a hands-on tactical role, supported by a team of field engineers. The Project Technical Manager builds and leads the projects' field engineering team, directing their daily work and developing their capability.
We have multiple openings at multiple levels of experience. If you want to join a dynamic team within exciting growing industry, please apply Role and Responsibilities:- Provide day-to-day technical leadership and accountability for the assigned hyperscale Data Center projects supporting the Project Director and Project Managers on all technical matters.
- Ensure timely resolution of technical queries, clashes, and interface issues at the project level.
- Support predictable project delivery by resolving technical issues before they impact the field.
- Lead, develop, and manage the project's field engineering team, setting priorities, allocating workload, and reviewing technical output.
- Manage technical interfaces on the projects, ensuring alignment between client designs, engineering contractors, MEP subcontractors, and construction teams.
- Direct field engineers in resolving clashes, technical queries, and execution challenges without undertaking design activities.
- Coordinate and drive resolution of technical queries - Requests for Information (RFIs), clarifications, and deviations - in alignment with client-provided designs and contractual requirements.
- Ensure consistent interpretation and application of design documentation across the projects' contractors and trades.
- Provide project-level technical oversight of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital model coordination, confirming that models issued by clients, engineering contractors, and vendors are constructible and consistent with field sequencing without performing model authoring or design work.
- Review supplier and subcontractor technical deliverables for alignment with client requirements and the projects execution strategy.
- Apply modularization and standardization approaches defined at portfolio level and feed project-level lessons back to the Technical Manager.
- Escalate cross-project matters, portfolio-level decisions, and unresolved technical risks to the Technical Manager.
- Provide technical risk visibility to the Project Director and Technical Manager, highlighting potential impacts to project schedule, cost, or constructability.
Qualifications and Experience:- 10-15 years of experience in construction engineering coordination, field engineering, or execution-focused technical roles on large-scale industrial or mission-critical projects.
- Direct experience leading or managing field engineering teams.
- Strong background in executing client-provided designs rather than producing engineering deliverables.
- Proven ability to resolve technical interface and clash issues at the project and site level in fast-paced environments.
- Experience coordinating engineering contractors, MEP subcontractors, and construction teams on a single large project.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, or 15+ years of relevant execution-focused technical experience.
Nice to Have- Extensive hands-on experience on Data Center projects.
- Experience with modular construction or standardized building systems.
- Background working with modular electrical and mechanical systems, vendor-engineered packages, or multi-contractor engineering models.
- Experience leading field engineering teams across multiple concurrent work fronts on large projects.
Work Environment and Physical Demands Hybrid role located primarily Houston/Calgary/Edmonton with regular travel to project site (up to 50%) as required to support project execution, on-site field engineering team, interface alignment, and issue resolution. Requires close engagement with internal project and technical leadership, site construction teams, and the field engineering team, and with external engineering contractors, PEMB suppliers, subcontractors, and client technical representatives. Travel to locations in the United States is expected
