Job description

A growing AI infrastructure company is expanding its data center capacity to support rapidly increasing demand for advanced computing with various on site locations to work from across North America.

The Data Center Project Manager will bring structure and momentum to complex, fast-track builds. Reporting to the Data Center Construction Director, you’ll lead project planning, schedules, budgets, and risk management - aligning design, construction, procurement, commissioning, and customer handover. This is a highly visible role for a hands-on project leader who can turn ambitious delivery targets into clear plans and accountable execution.

What you’ll do

• Develop and maintain integrated project schedules in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, spanning design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and turnover.
• Own the master construction schedule from site mobilization through substantial completion and customer handover.
• Manage project budgets, cash-flow forecasts, change control, and earned-value reporting; provide clear weekly updates on cost and schedule performance.
• Lead phase-gate and 30%, 60%, and 90% design reviews; maintain decision logs, RACI matrices, and action trackers.
• Manage procurement and contract workflows, including RFPs, bid evaluations, awards, potential change orders, and closeout documentation.
• Identify critical-path constraints and long-lead procurement risks - including transformers, chillers, and switchgear - and drive mitigation plans.
• Serve as a trusted point of coordination for internal leaders, design and construction teams, contractors, and other project partners.
• Produce concise, reliable status reports that make project progress, risks, and decisions clear to both executives and delivery teams.
• Provide direction to cross-functional project teams, including project managers, construction managers, and superintendents.
• Develop staffing plans, support performance management, and help build the capabilities of the project organization.
• Lead project standups, reviews, and retrospectives to reinforce accountability and improve delivery practices.

What you’ll bring

• A bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, or a related discipline; a construction-management qualification is an advantage.
• At least 10 years of project-management experience delivering hyperscale data centers, large industrial facilities, or major infrastructure projects.
• A track record of delivering fast-track projects across multiple locations or regions.
• Strong working knowledge of civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical scopes, as well as procurement and cost-control processes.
• Expert-level capability with Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project; familiarity with Procore, Ares, Excel, Smartsheet, or Confluence.
• Experience managing budgets, cash flow, change orders, critical-path schedules, long-lead equipment, and project risks.
• The ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and align technical and commercial stakeholders around shared delivery goals.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence presenting to executives, clients, contractors, and trades.
• A practical, organized approach to managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving project environment.
• Willingness to travel 50% or more to active project sites, as required.
• PMP, PRINCE2, or an equivalent project-management certification is preferred.

Compensation and benefits

The company offers a competitive total compensation package that may include salary and equity, along with retirement benefits, health, dental, and vision coverage, and paid time off. Benefits are provided in accordance with local requirements and norms.
