Job Title: Construction Project Manager (Data Center)
Location: Austin, Texas (relocation packages available)
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.
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; 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 .
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.
~ 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.
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.
