Job summary

Giga Energy in San Francisco, Long Beach or Houston seeks a Project Manager to turn contracts into live data centers and orchestrate the moving parts across teams. You’ll own end-to-end delivery, track milestones, and keep budgets in check to ensure successful handoffs.

You’ll collaborate with engineering, procurement, and operations; communicate with executives and customers; and drive risks and changes in a fast-moving environment while building scalable processes.

Qualifications

• 4–8 years of project management experience in data centers, construction, energy infrastructure, or complex capital projects.
• Proven 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; you close loops and don’t wait to be asked twice.
• Clear, direct communicator comfortable presenting to C-suite and customer stakeholders.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving environments where the playbook is still being written.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end project delivery for data center buildouts, from contract execution through commissioning and handoff
• 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
