Job summary

Giga Energy Inc. is seeking a Project Manager to turn signed contracts into live data centers, orchestrating teams across engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and outside partners to keep deployments on schedule and within budget.

Qualifications

• 4–8+ years of project management experience in data centers, construction, energy infrastructure, or complex capital projects.
• Demonstrated track record of delivering large-scale physical projects on schedule and within budget.
• Strong command of project management fundamentals: scheduling, cost tracking, risk management, change control.
• Experience managing cross-functional teams and external contractors without direct authority.
• High ownership mentality—close loops and don’t wait to be asked twice.

• Build and maintain detailed project schedules, milestone trackers, and budget logs across concurrent deployments.
• Coordinate daily across internal teams (engineering, procurement, finance, manufacturing) and external partners (EPCs, GCs, utilities, customers).
• Identify risks early, elevate fast, and drive resolution — not status updates.
• Run structured project reviews with senior leadership, surfacing blockers and decision points clearly.
• Hold vendors, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders accountable to commitments.
• Build repeatable systems and processes that scale as our data center pipeline grows.
• Produce concise, decision-ready documentation: project plans, risk registers, change logs, executive summaries.
