Job title: Project Manager - Data Center Construction
Seniority level: Intermediate - Senior
Employment type: Full-time
Job function: Project Management, Construction
Workplace type: On-site
Job description: Spent a year or two on the owner side delivering data center construction projects, and ready to step it up to the next level? We are hiring for a Neocloud with a project pipeline exceeding $50 billion, building gigawatt-scale data center capacity. This role drives the planning, budgeting, and risk-management engine behind the company's data centers - partnering with Construction and Design teams to turn capacity targets into executable plans, with real accountability for outcomes.
Why join:
  • Zero red-tape, zero beau acracy - maximum trust, maximum meritocracy.
  • Own the planning, budget, and risk engine behind one of the biggest AI data center buildouts happening right now = multiple gigawatt-scale sites.
  • Real ownership of the schedule and budget, not a reporting seat - you turn capacity targets into executable plans and drive them.
  • Direct partnership with Construction and Design leadership, with your work visible from kick-off through handover.
  • High-intensity team solving problems that haven't been solved at this scale before.
  • Role scope
  • Build, maintain, and drive integrated schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) covering design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
  • Own project budgets and cash-flow forecasts; govern the change-order process and report earned-value KPIs weekly.
  • Facilitate phase-gate and 30/60/90% design reviews; maintain RACI matrices and action logs to keep stakeholders aligned.
  • Manage the full contract lifecycle — RFP, bid analysis, award, PCO tracking, and close-out documentation.
  • Partner with Construction and Design teams to translate capacity targets into executable, trackable project plans.
What we're looking for: Owner-side experience on data center construction delivery at a hyperscaler — not GC/EPC-side project controls, actual owner-side delivery. Currently a Project Manager ready to step up into a senior seat with real accountability for schedule and budget outcomes, not just status tracking. Fluency with integrated scheduling tools (Primavera P6 or MS Project) and earned-value / budget reporting. Experience owning the full contract lifecycle: RFP through close-out. Comfort driving phase-gate and design reviews across cross-functional stakeholders Compensation
Base salary: $200,000-$285,000, depending on experience and location. Significant pre-IPO equity.
