Job description

If you are a driven construction leader working on high-stakes builds and ready to step up to lead multi-megawatt developments on the Developer side, this is your next move. I have exclusively partnered with one of the fastest-growing, privately-backed data center developers across the US. They are aggressively scaling, entirely unbothered by market slowdowns, and have an immediate ~85 MW pipeline cooking right now across Central Texas, with more hyperscale sites in the queue. In this role, you will lead owner-side delivery of a 25 MW mission-critical campus, owning daily field execution, managing the CM/GC to the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), and holding full accountability for site safety, quality, budget, schedule, and commissioning.

Location: Onsite - Austin

Compensation: $160,000 - $190,000 Base Comp + 30% Bonus

About the Role

As the Construction Manager, you will serve as the organizations primary on-site representative and owner-side lead for the campus. Operating directly on active construction sites, you will manage CM/GC performance to strictly enforce the GMP and critical path schedule, coordinate trade partners and site consultants, oversee owner-furnished equipment, and supervise the site Project Engineer.

What You’ll Do

• CM/GC & GMP Management: Own day-to-day site execution, manage GC performance to the GMP and critical path schedule, and validate subcontractor buyout, pay apps, lien releases, and change orders.
• Cost, Schedule & Controls: Master the site budget and cost-to-complete forecasts, manage the master schedule, analyze float/variances with accounting, and enforce change-management to prevent scope creep.
• Site Leadership & Meetings: Lead site meeting cadences, maintain comprehensive project documentation (permits, drawings, RFIs), enforce safety/contractual requirements, and supervise the site Project Engineer.
• Equipment & Quality: Coordinate delivery and installation of owner-furnished long-lead equipment, direct site consultants to deconflict overlapping scopes, oversee QA/QC, and interface with the AHJ.
• Commissioning & Turnover: Coordinate L1–L5 commissioning and integrated systems testing with the Commissioning Agent, manage punch/closeout/turnover, and report site status to leadership.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven Track Record: 2+ years in data center or mission-critical construction (including ground-up delivery), with proven experience managing general contractors on CMAR and GMP projects.
• Educational Background: Ideally a Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Technical & Software Skills: OSHA 30 required (PMP or CCM an advantage). Strong working knowledge of critical-environment MEP systems, redundancy topologies, L1–L5 commissioning (including IST), Procore/ACC, Primavera P6, and Bluebeam.
