Drive the planning, budgeting, and risk-management engine behind global data centers, turning capacity targets into executable project plans and keeping every stakeholder aligned from kickoff to customer handover.
Build integrated schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, and own the master construction schedule from site mobilization through substantial completion and turnover.
Own project budgets, cash-flow forecasts, and change-order governance, and report earned-value KPIs weekly.
Facilitate phase-gate and design reviews, maintain RACI matrices and action logs, and manage contract lifecycles: RFP, bid analysis, award, PCO tracking, and close-out.
Identify critical-path and long-lead risks (transformers, chillers, switchgear) and drive mitigation, and act as the single source of truth for internal leadership and external partners.
Lead cross-functional delivery teams (project managers, construction managers, superintendents), develop staffing plans, and run standups, reviews, and retrospectives.

You've led project management on hyperscale data center, large industrial, or infrastructure builds, delivering fast-track projects across multiple geographies.
You know civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical scopes, procurement workflows, and cost controls deeply.
You're an expert with scheduling (P6, MS Project), cost (Procore, Ares, Excel), and collaboration (Smartsheet, Confluence) tools.
You communicate clearly in writing and in person, comfortable with executives and trades alike.
You've built and scaled project teams across regions and time zones, align technical and commercial stakeholders under shared goals, and you'll travel 50%+ to active sites as projects require.
Bonus: PMI-PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent. Construction management qualification. Multi-region fast-track delivery.
