Full Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with deep data center and mission-critical facilities experience to serve as the owner's representative on a high-profile hyperscale data center development. This isn't a job where you sit in an office reviewing reports; you'll be on-site, in the action, working directly with contractors, engineers, and the owner to ensure this campus is built right. **Key Responsibilities** - Serve as the primary on-site owner's representative, ensuring the project stays on budget, on schedule, and aligned with quality standards. - Manage relationships with general contractors, A&E teams, and commissioning agents-driving accountability and coordination across all parties. - Oversee MEP systems coordination including electrical distribution (medium voltage, UPS, generators), cooling systems, and BMS/controls integration. - Review and process RFIs, submittals, and change orders with a critical eye-protecting the owner from scope creep and cost overruns. - Coordinate L1-L5 commissioning activities and ensure systems perform as designed before handoff. - Prepare clear status reports, visual planning tools, and presentations that give stakeholders real insight into project health. **Requirements** - 10+ years of construction project management experience, with at least 5 years focused on data centers, mission-critical facilities, or industrial MEP-intensive projects. - Strong technical knowledge of electrical distribution systems, backup power infrastructure, cooling systems, and building automation. - Experience reading and interpreting MEP drawings, one-lines, and control sequences. - Proven ability to manage complex stakeholder relationships and hold contractors accountable. - Willingness to be on-site full-time in upstate New York. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills. **Preferred Qualifications** - Hyperscale data center experience (100MW+ campuses). - Experience with crypto-to-data-center conversions or adaptive reuse projects. - Owner's representative or program management background (vs. GC-side only). - CCM, PMP, PE, or LEED AP credentials. **What You'll Gain** - A seat at the table on one of the most technically demanding construction programs in the country. - Direct exposure to cutting-edge AI infrastructure being built for a leading technology company. - Access to AI-powered project management tools; we're not your grandfather's OR firm. - Competitive compensation with relocation assistance for the right candidate. - A collaborative team that values getting things right over checking boxes.
