Full Job Description
Join Vultr

Vultr is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Site Construction Lead to serve as our owner's representative on a live data center construction site - the day-to-day presence protecting schedule, safety, and acceptance quality on a site we don't directly control. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating independently on a landlord-controlled site, reading MEP and architectural drawings fluently, and holding a GC accountable without direct authority over their crews. This is a highly visible role in a high-growth technology company, which will require daily site presence, rigorous documentation discipline, and the judgment to know when to escalate. This is your opportunity to join our fast growing team and leave your mark on Vultr and the future of Cloud Infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct daily site walks and verify progress against the build schedule
  • Review RFIs, submittals, and shop drawings; escalate when landlord/GC response lags
  • Track punch-list items and support acceptance and turnover decisions
  • Serve as the primary day-to-day coordination point with the landlord and GC on a landlord-controlled site
  • Monitor safety compliance and escalate incidents
  • Maintain photo and log documentation and pay-application support that holds up if a delivery dispute follows


Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience
  • 5+ years of experience in mission-critical or large commercial construction, in a field or owner's-representative role
  • Comfortable reading MEP and architectural drawings and specifications
  • OSHA 30 or equivalent safety training
  • Able to operate independently on a site the company does not control
  • Prior experience working with hyperscaler clients (AWS, Google, Meta, Microsoft) or on colocation build-to-suit programs preferred
  • Experience with Procore or similar construction management software preferred
  • Experience with RFI/RFP tracking and change-order documentation on projects valued at $10M+ preferred


Compensation

$95,000 - $135,000 (US base salary range)
