Construction Manager, Data Center Project Development

Construction Manager, Data Center Project Development Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end construction management for large-scale, mission-critical data center projects, including civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical scopes
• Develop and maintain integrated project schedules, cost forecasts, and risk registers using construction analytics platforms and project controls methodologies
• Establish and enforce quality assurance and quality control programs across general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty vendors on data center construction sites
• Analyze construction performance data — including earned value, schedule variance, and productivity metrics — to identify trends, surface risks, and drive corrective actions
• Partner with design, engineering, and commissioning teams to resolve field conflicts, manage RFIs and submittals, and ensure constructability of data center systems
• Oversee contractor and subcontractor performance, including scope compliance, safety program adherence, and milestone accountability
• Drive cross-functional alignment between real estate, design, procurement, and operations teams to support data center program delivery at scale
• Define and implement construction reporting frameworks and dashboards that provide leadership with accurate, timely visibility into project health across the data center portfolio
• Lead lessons-learned processes and contribute to the development of construction standards, playbooks, and best practices for future data center builds
• Manage change order processes, contract compliance reviews, and owner-contractor dispute resolution to protect project scope and budget integrity

Minimum Qualifications:

• 8 years of experience in construction management for large-scale, mission-critical facilities such as data centers, industrial plants, or advanced manufacturing facilities
• Experience applying project controls and construction analytics methodologies, including schedule analysis, cost tracking, earned value management, and risk quantification
• Experience managing general contractors and subcontractors across civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical scopes on complex construction programs
• Experience leading cross-functional project teams and driving alignment across design, engineering, procurement, and commissioning stakeholders
