Ready to take the next step in your career?

Join a global digital infrastructure organization dedicated to developing next-generation data center solutions across strategic international markets. Backed by a major investment group, the company constructs, acquires, and operates advanced facilities to support cloud providers, hyperscalers, and artificial intelligence workloads. With an expansive multi-gigawatt development pipeline across numerous locations, the organization delivers secure, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure designed to power modern digital economies.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Data Center Construction Project Manager to join a growing team. The successful candidate will take full ownership of on-site project delivery for new-build hyperscale facilities, managing civil, structural, MEP, and utility installation work streams from site preparation through to completion. This role requires directing general contractors, sub-contractors, and key vendors while maintaining strict project controls around budget, scheduling, safety, and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the ideal candidate will collaborate closely with internal engineering, procurement, and operations teams to drive commissioning readiness and support a seamless operational handover.

Responsibilities:

  • Take full ownership of project delivery for a new-build hyperscale data center, from early site work through to completion
  • Manage and coordinate the general contractor, subcontractors, consultants, and vendors, keeping delivery aligned to scope, schedule, and cost
  • Provide hands-on oversight of on-site work streams, civil, structural, MEP, utility tie-ins, and critical infrastructure installation
  • Work in lockstep with internal design, procurement, development, and operations teams to keep the project moving and get ahead of issues before they become blockers
  • Put strong project controls in place, tracking, reporting, risk management, and a clear change-management process
  • Keep the project compliant with safety, environmental, and applicable local/state regulatory requirements
  • Push the project toward commissioning readiness and support a clean handover to the operations team
  • Act as the company's senior on-site representative, owning delivery outcomes locally


Skills/Must Have:

  • 8+ years' experience in data center construction, mission-critical facilities, or comparable large-scale industrial projects
  • A demonstrated track record delivering ground-up builds, from early site work through to commissioning
  • Solid technical grounding in MEP systems, electrical distribution, cooling infrastructure, and critical-path scheduling
  • Experience with hyperscale operators, colocation developers, or top-tier mission-critical contractors strongly preferred
  • Comfortable leading multi-stakeholder projects in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and contractor-management skills
  • Based on-site (or willing to relocate) for the duration of the build


Benefits:

  • Annual bonus paid bi-annually
  • Medical, Dental & Vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid Time Off and company holidays
  • Opportunity to work on industry-leading hyperscale data center projects
