Job title: Senior Construction Manager - Data Center Delivery
Seniority level: Intermediate-Senior
Employment type: Full-time
Workplace type: 80-100% travel to active sites
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 an explosive AI start-up with a $50 billion+ infrastructure pipeline. Multiple concurrent sites, moving faster than traditional construction management is built to handle. This is a step-up seat: full ownership of schedule, budget, safety, and site execution, orchestrating GCs, trades, and vendors directly - not a coordination role reporting into someone else's plan.
Why join:- Multiple gigawatt-scale sites running concurrently.
- Zero red-tape and beauracracy.
- Full ownership of outcomes, not a coordination seat. Tools, process layers, and administrative drag get stripped out in favor of solving the real problem.
- You're building the reference model, not just a building - every site's lessons roll forward so each new site goes up faster and cleaner than the last.
- High-intensity team solving a genuinely novel construction problem at a scale that hasn't been done before.
- Role scope
- Own day-to-day site execution for greenfield and brownfield GPU data center builds, orchestrating general contractors, trades, and vendors to deliver safe, on-schedule, on-budget facilities at extreme power and cooling density.
- Build, maintain, and execute integrated schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
- Enforce the safety program and drive a zero-incident culture across all subcontractors.
- Coordinate CSA and MEP trades, resolving field conflicts in real time, and verify QA/QC, submittals, RFI, and change-order processes.
- Track and report daily progress, spend, earned value, and resource loading, and issue recovery plans when needed.
- Lead scopes of work for critical-path trades and packages, and manage construction contracts from award through close-out.
What we're looking for:
Owner-side experience delivering data center construction projects at a Hyperscaler - this is not a GC/EPC-to-owner-side entry point; you need to have already worked the owner side.
Currently a Construction Manager ready to step up into an intermediate/senior seat with direct ownership of trades, GCs, and vendors.
Fluency with Primavera P6 or MS Project for integrated scheduling.
Comfort enforcing safety hard and holding subcontractors accountable.
Willingness to travel 80-100% to active sites — this role runs from the field, not a desk.
Bonus:
construction management qualification; liquid cooling or high-density power builds; multi-site international delivery. Compensation
Base salary:
$150,000-$210,000, depending on experience and location. Significant pre-IPO equity.
