Data Center Construction Project Manager to lead hyperscale builds at project sites across the country.

Project Manager is where LINX hands you full budget and workforce ownership on a project. It's also the direct path to Senior Project Manager and Program Manager as LINX's hyperscale footprint expands into new markets.
What You'll Be Doing
Project Planning and Site Coordination
- Lead project kickoff meetings, define project schedules, and conduct site walkthroughs with clients and stakeholders at each new hyperscale location
- Adapt project plans to the specific site conditions, local labor market, and client requirements of each new long-term assignment
Budget Ownership
- Own the full multi-million dollar project budget, including labor hours, shift costs, materials, and equipment
- Track spend against budget in real time and flag variances before they become overruns
Materials and Procurement Management
- Coordinate with the LINX procurement team to ensure all equipment and materials are ordered, received, and staged before each project's start date
- Manage vendor and supplier relationships specific to each project site
Workforce and Team Management
- Oversee scheduling, hiring, and performance management of installation technicians on each project
- Build and lead project teams from the ground up at new sites, since crews and site conditions change with every assignment
Change Management and Documentation
- Track project milestones and manage change orders throughout the project lifecycle
- Maintain complete, accurate project documentation from kickoff through closeout
Closeout and Training
- Deliver final project closeout and conduct client training at project completion
- Facilitate post-project reviews to carry lessons learned into the next site
Minimum Requirements
Required
- 3+ years of experience managing large-scale hyperscale data center construction projects or 3+ years of general commercial construction project management experience with direct ownership of at least one project budget in the $1 million to $3 million range
- 5+ years of experience in a construction leadership role, or equivalent labor management experience organizing, prioritizing, and scheduling work assignments across multiple crews
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
- Valid driver's license and auto insurance
Preferred
- Low voltage construction experience
- Four-year college degree
- RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer), BICSI
- DCDC (Data Center Design Consultant), BICSI
- PMP (Project Management Professional)
This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If
- Your project management background is residential construction, or your commercial project budgets have consistently been under $1-$3 million
- You've only managed subcontractors and vendors and never directly managed 50+ blue collar workers as direct reports
- Your experience is limited to tracking budgets rather than owning them, or coordinating labor rather than managing it directly
Compensation and Benefits
Pay Rate: $90,000 to $130,000 per year, plus bonus pooling
Bonus: Performance-based bonus opportunities available
Benefits:
- 401(k) with 50% employer match on the first 5% contributed
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance with FSA and HSA options
- Short and long-term disability coverage
- 3 weeks PTO (vacation and sick combined)
- 8 paid holidays
- Cell phone allowance
- Vehicle allowance
- Manufacturer and industry training and certification support
- Direct advancement path to Senior Project Manager and Operations Manager
