Controls Sensors Project Manager

Fluidstack; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is looking for a Field Deployment Coordinator in Austin, TX to oversee controls and sensor systems across multiple data center sites. You will scope, schedule, coordinate vendors, and manage field execution from start to finish.

You will drive installation coordination with BMS/EPMS sensors, ensure timely delivery, and maintain strong vendor relationships, while identifying scope gaps and closing punch lists. This role suits autonomous problem-solvers who thrive under pressure.

Qualifications

• You've project-managed controls, instrumentation, or low-voltage systems installation on industrial or data center sites.
• You've herded electricians, integrators, and vendors to a date without owning any of them.
• You read one-lines, points lists, and network drawings well enough to catch a scope gap.
• You've recovered a slipping installation without burning the team.
• Your punch lists close because you drive them daily.
• Bonus: BMS and EPMS platforms. Data center construction. Commissioning coordination. PMP or equivalent.

Responsibilities

• Run deployment projects for controls and sensor systems across sites: scope, schedule, vendors, and field execution.
• Coordinate installation and integration of BMS and EPMS sensors, meters, and control hardware with construction and commissioning.
• Own the vendor relationships: procurement handoff, delivery timing, and field support when it breaks.
• Track every site's controls scope to done, with punch lists that actually reach zero.

Job description

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.

• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.

• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

Role Scope

• Run deployment projects for controls and sensor systems across sites: scope, schedule, vendors, and field execution.

• Coordinate installation and integration of BMS and EPMS sensors, meters, and control hardware with construction and commissioning.

• Own the vendor relationships: procurement handoff, delivery timing, and field support when it breaks.

• Track every site's controls scope to done, with punch lists that actually reach zero.

What We're Looking For

• The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've project-managed controls, instrumentation, or low-voltage systems installation on industrial or data center sites.

• You've herded electricians, integrators, and vendors to a date without owning any of them.

• You read one-lines, points lists, and network drawings well enough to catch a scope gap.

• You've recovered a slipping installation without burning the team.

• Your punch lists close because you drive them daily.

• Bonus: BMS and EPMS platforms. Data center construction. Commissioning coordination. PMP or equivalent.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
