Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor services for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's a purpose.

Overview

The Project Manager (CSA) will serve as an Owner's Representative supporting the successful delivery of Civil, Structural, and Architectural scopes for a large-scale data center campus. This role will partner with senior project leadership, contractors, design teams, and stakeholders to ensure project objectives are achieved safely, on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with quality standards.

The ideal candidate possesses a strong construction management background with experience overseeing CSA packages on large commercial, industrial, manufacturing, or mission-critical projects. This individual should be highly organized, proactive, and capable of driving accountability among contractors while coordinating effectively across multiple stakeholders.

Required Experience

• 5-8+ years of construction project management experience on large-scale commercial, industrial, manufacturing, or mission-critical projects.
• 3+ years of direct experience managing Civil, Structural, and Architectural construction scopes.
• Demonstrated experience overseeing general contractors, subcontractors, and construction activities on complex projects.
• Experience supporting ground-up construction projects, including site development, structural construction, and building enclosure.
• Proven ability to manage construction schedules, coordinate multiple trades, and drive project milestones.

Required Qualifications

• Strong technical understanding of CSA construction methods, sequencing, and coordination.
• Working knowledge of site development, underground utilities, earthwork, grading, foundations, concrete, structural steel, building envelope systems, and architectural finishes.
• Ability to review and interpret construction drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, and project schedules.
• Experience monitoring contractor performance, identifying construction risks, and implementing corrective actions.
• Understanding of construction scheduling, critical path activities, and schedule recovery strategies.
• Experience reviewing change orders, identifying scope gaps, and supporting cost and schedule impact assessments.
• Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to coordinate effectively with owners, general contractors, design consultants, and trade partners.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience supporting data center or other mission-critical construction projects.
• Experience serving as an Owner's Representative or working directly with developers and owner-side project teams.
• Experience supporting construction projects valued at $100M or more.
• Background in semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, pharmaceutical, battery manufacturing, or other technically complex facilities.
• Experience managing CSA scopes on accelerated or fast-track construction schedules.
• Familiarity with hyperscale data center construction standards and project delivery expectations.

Driver’s License Requirement

For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.

Communication Skills

Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.

Physical Requirements and Work Environment

This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.

The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site - including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures - may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.

Physical Requirements

• Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain.
• Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis.
• Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces.
• Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors.
• Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments.
• Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required.
• Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity.

Work Environment

Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.

Reasonable Accommodation

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.

Benefits

• We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off.
• Relocation assistance is available to support candidates transitioning to the location.

OVERWATCH is committed to creating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. OVERWATCH considers candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.
