  • Manage multimillion-dollar budgets, cost forecasting, billing, and change order processes.
  • Develop and maintain detailed project schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) with strong critical path focus.
  • Oversee coordination of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, low-voltage, and building automation systems.
  • Lead Owner/Architect/Contractor (OAC) meetings and provide executive-level reporting.
  • Drive commissioning and Integrated Systems Testing (IST) to ensure all systems meet performance and redundancy requirements.
  • Mentor Project Engineers and Assistant Project Managers, building the next generation of leaders.
  • Champion safety and ensure compliance with OSHA and client-specific requirements.

  • 3–5 years managing large-scale data center or mission-critical projects.
  • Deep technical expertise in MEP systems, power infrastructure, and critical redundancy environments.
  • Strong financial acumen with experience managing large budgets and cost controls.
