Development Manager
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
Run technical due diligence on every site from Site Acquisitions' handoff to break ground, directing environmental and civil engineers through environmental site assessments, land and boundary surveys, and traffic impact studies.
Make the go or no-go call on dirt: buildable, on time, on budget, with no deal-killers or permanent risks before we transact.
Negotiate and organize contracts directly, joining risk-profile decisions and taking big commercials off leadership's plate.
Bring on the civil engineer, architect, and GC, and own the master budget, milestone schedule, and floor access dates across five or more sites at once.
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 personally run technical due diligence on land and can walk site identification to break ground in order, from the first environmental assessments and land surveys on, saying what you did yourself at each step.
You've directed environmental and civil engineers and read traffic impact studies closely enough to challenge them.
You've decided what kills a deal and what is acceptable risk, and told leadership a site was clean enough to transact.
You've negotiated or organized contracts yourself.
You run several projects at once on your own and bring leadership a decision.
Bonus: Owner-side land development (greenfield industrial, commercial, energy). Hyperscale data center development or pre-construction. Utility and mineral rights diligence (water, power, interconnection). Modular or prefabricated 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.
