Senior Project Manager – Data Center Construction

Richmond, Virginia | Relocation Support Available


Are you ready to take the next step in your data center construction career?


A top 5 national electrical contractor is seeking an ambitious Project Manager to join a flagship hyperscale data center project in Richmond, Virginia. Valued at approximately $1 billion, this development is set to become one of the largest data center projects in the United States and will provide a minimum three years of project stability on a career-defining build.


This is an opportunity to join a business that combines the resources and reputation of a national contractor with the culture of a family-founded organization. With a $1.4 billion secured backlog, strong leadership visibility, and a commitment to investing in its people, this role offers both immediate project impact and long-term career growth.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out


Work on a Landmark Project

  • Join a ~$1B hyperscale data center development
  • One of the largest data center projects in the US upon completion
  • Long-term project pipeline with approximately 3 years of work secured


Growth, Stability & Career Progression

  • $1.4B backlog providing exceptional business stability
  • Rapidly growing organization with a quality-focused hiring approach
  • Clear progression opportunities into Senior Project Management and leadership positions


A Culture Built Around People

  • Family-founded business with nearly a century of history
  • Transparent, "open-book" culture
  • Direct access to senior leadership and executive team members
  • Annual leadership summits and strong employee development programs


The Role

Reporting directly to senior leadership, you will play a key role in the successful delivery of a large-scale hyperscale data center project. You will oversee project planning, execution, financial performance, client relationships, subcontractor management, procurement activities, and project teams to ensure safe and successful delivery.


Key Responsibilities

  • Manage all aspects of project execution from preconstruction through completion
  • Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, forecasts, and resource plans
  • Ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, vendors, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders
  • Coordinate procurement activities to ensure timely delivery of materials and equipment
  • Manage project financials, change orders, billing, and forecasting
  • Conduct regular site visits and progress reviews
  • Lead project teams while mentoring and developing junior staff
  • Provide regular project updates to senior leadership
  • Support long-term workforce and resource planning initiatives


What We're Looking For


Required Experience

  • 3 years of Electrical Construction Project Management experience
  • Experience delivering large-scale electrical infrastructure projects
  • Data center, mission critical, telecommunications, or critical facilities project experience
  • Experience with electrical distribution systems, cabling infrastructure, and white space fit-outs
  • Strong client-facing and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in fast-paced project environments
  • Strong scheduling, planning, communication, and problem-solving abilities


Preferred Experience

  • Mission critical or hyperscale data center experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Project Management, Business, or related discipline
  • PMP or PMI-SP certification
  • Experience with COINS, ConEst, and Microsoft Office Suite


Benefits

  • 100% employer-paid medical and dental coverage
  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Vision coverage
  • Life and disability insurance
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
  • Travel Accident Insurance
  • Paid vacation and holidays
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Professional development and leadership training programs
  • College Coach services


If you're looking for an opportunity to make your mark on a nationally significant hyperscale data center project while joining a business known for its culture, transparency, and long-term growth, we'd like to hear from you.
