  • Coordinate closely with PX on forecasting, earned value, and reporting
  • Serve as a primary client‑facing representative on site, especially during close‑out and commissioning phases
  • Travel to HQ for onboarding and process alignment as needed


Qualifications:

  • 10 total years of Construction Project Manager experience
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience being within data center construction
