Construction Project Manager

Lead end-to-end project delivery for data center construction, owning cost, schedule, scope, quality, and safety from site selection support and preconstruction through Level 5 commissioning and operational handover. Manage general contractors, architects, MEP engineers, and specialty subcontractors, holding the project team accountable to contractual milestones and design intent. Drive coordination of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems — including utility power and substations, switchgear, UPS, generators, and air- and liquid-cooling infrastructure — recognizing that power and cooling drive the critical path. Develop and maintain integrated project schedules, identify critical-path risks early, and implement recovery plans to protect on-time, on-budget delivery. Manage project budgets, change orders, contingency, and forecasting; review pay applications and validate work in place. Own the commissioning process in partnership with the CxA, ensuring scripts, levels (L1–L5), and acceptance criteria are met before energization and turnover to operations. Enforce a strict safety culture, including the specific hazards of working in and around energized electrical environments and live critical facilities. Provide clear, regular reporting to leadership on schedule, budget, risk, and key decisions. Manage long-lead equipment procurement and vendor coordination, mitigating supply-chain risk on generators, switchgear, chillers, and cooling units. Support due diligence on site selection, including utility power availability, fiber, water, and constructability factors.
