Job Description

Job Title: Construction Project Manager (Data Center)

Location: Austin, Texas (relocation packages available)

The company

I’m working with a rapidly growing global AI infrastructure company that designs and builds world-class GPU data centers powering cutting-edge AI research and innovation for leading tech enterprises, governments, and AI labs.

As the Data Center Project Manager, you’ll be at the center of the action — driving the planning, budgeting, and risk management that bring these high-performance data centers to life. Reporting to the Construction Director, you’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams to transform ambitious capacity goals into fully executable project plans — ensuring every stakeholder stays aligned from concept through completion.

This role is ideal for a seasoned project leader who thrives on complexity, precision, and delivering results in a fast-moving, mission-critical environment.

The position

  • Build and maintain integrated project schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
  • Own and manage project budgets, forecasts, and change-order processes; report earned-value KPIs weekly.
  • Facilitate design and construction phase-gate reviews (30/60/90%), maintaining RACI matrices and action logs.
  • Lead contract lifecycles including RFPs, bid analysis, awards, PCO tracking, and close-out documentation.
  • Identify and mitigate long-lead and critical-path risks (transformers, chillers, switchgear, etc.).
  • Serve as the central point of truth for internal leadership and external partners — producing clear, actionable reports.
  • Provide strategic direction to project delivery teams including PMs, construction managers, and superintendents.
  • Develop staffing plans, oversee team performance, and promote continuous improvement through project standups and retrospectives .

Could this role be for you?

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline.
  • 10+ years of project management experience in hyperscale data centers, large industrial, or infrastructure projects.
  • PMI-PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent certification preferred.
  • Proven success delivering complex, fast-track projects across multiple geographies.
  • Deep understanding of CSA, MEP, procurement, and cost control processes.
  • Proficiency in P6, MS Project, Procore, Ares, Excel, Smartsheet, and Confluence.
  • Strong communicator — confident presenting to executives and field teams alike.
  • Demonstrated experience scaling and managing high-performing teams across regions.
  • Willingness to travel up to 50% to active project sites as required.

Why apply?

  • Competitive total compensation (base + equity).
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Retirement or pension plan (aligned with local standards).
  • Generous PTO policy.
  • Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Austin.
