  • Build and lead relationships with external GC partners, trade contractors, and vendors
  • Provide leadership in contract negotiation, scheduling, budgeting, and quality assurance
  • Represent the company in client meetings and ensure alignment with long-term program goals
  • Help define internal processes, tools, and best practices for future mission-critical construction
  • Eventually hire and manage a dedicated internal delivery team

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of construction experience, with at least 5+ in mission-critical/data center delivery
  • Deep understanding of the construction process for large-scale, ground-up data centers
  • Familiar with mission-critical infrastructure including MEP systems, UPS, and commissioning
  • Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders, including developers, clients, and contractors
  • Strong client-facing presence with excellent communication and leadership skills
  • Comfortable working in a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and cross-functional environment

Compensation & Benefits:

  • $180,000–$220,000 base salary + annual performance bonus
  • Full health, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Long-term equity opportunity for division leadership
  • Relocation support and flexible work location
