What You'll Do
- Construction Delivery Leadership – Low Voltage CSI (Data Centers)
- Serve as the senior construction executive accountable for the delivery of low-voltage controls systems integration scope across a portfolio of concurrent data center programs ranging from $5M to $50M per project.
- Own overall project execution — schedule, budget, quality, and client satisfaction — across multiple active programs simultaneously.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, trade partners, and equipment suppliers specific to the low-voltage and controls market.
- Establish and manage project-level forecasts, budgets, and resource plans; ensure financial performance targets are met.
- Preconstruction Coordination & Design-Build Transition
- Partner with internal CSI design and engineering teams during preconstruction to ensure constructability, scope clarity, and seamless transition from design to field execution.
- Participate in the review of design packages, bridging documents, and RFPs to provide construction-informed input on scheduling, sequencing, logistics, and trade partner strategy.
- Contribute construction pricing perspectives and scope validation during cost opinions at key stage gates (30%, 60%, 90%).
- Project & Commercial Management
- Own CSI construction scope budgets, cost controls, and change management across all active programs.
- Lead scope reviews, trade partner negotiations, pricing justification, and contract administration for low-voltage CSI work packages.
- Ensure all controls systems installation work is sequenced, coordinated, and delivered in accordance with schedule milestones and critical path dependencies.
- Team Building & Development
- Build, lead, and develop a high-performing construction delivery team of Project Managers and Superintendents dedicated to low-voltage CSI work in the mission-critical market.
- Mentor team members on construction best practices, project delivery standards, and professional growth.
- Promote the consistent use of project management tools, workflows, reporting standards, and best practices across the team.
- Field Execution & Quality
- Provide strategic oversight and guidance to field teams on site logistics, manpower planning, subcontractor coordination, and installation standards for low-voltage systems including BMS, EPMS, structured cabling, fire alarm, security, and DCIM infrastructure.
- Champion a safety-first culture across all project sites and team operations.
- Validate quality control processes — including inspections, testing protocols, and pre-functional checklists — to support the internal CSI engineering team's commissioning and turnover requirements.
- Client Relations & Business Development Support
- Serve as the senior client-facing representative for low-voltage CSI construction execution on major data center programs.
- Support business development pursuits by contributing technical narratives, construction strategies, and win themes for design-build opportunities.
- Build and strengthen relationships with key trade contractors, controls equipment suppliers, and national low-voltage partners.
Experience & Expertise
- 15 years of progressive construction experience, with a significant focus on low-voltage systems, controls systems integration, or building technology in mission-critical or data center environments.
- Demonstrated experience managing a portfolio of concurrent projects and leading construction teams (Project Managers and Superintendents) in a design-build delivery model.
- Track record of successfully delivering projects valued from $5M to $50M in low-voltage CSI scope complexity.
- Strong understanding of low-voltage systems commonly deployed in data centers, including but not limited to: BMS/BAS, EPMS, structured cabling, fire alarm, security/access control, and DCIM.
- Working knowledge of trade partner procurement, subcontract management, and commercial administration.
- Experience coordinating with design and engineering teams in an integrated delivery environment; ability to translate design intent into executable field plans.
- Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related technical field (preferred).
