Job summary

Giga Energy is building the electrical backbone of the AI era — transformers, switchgear, and modular data centers that power the world's most demanding compute deployments. We don't just sell into the infrastructure stack; we manufacture it, deploy it, and own the outcome. This is rare.

The Project Manager role sits at the center of that mission. You'll be the person who turns a signed contract into a live data center — orchestrating the moving parts, holding teams accountable, and making sure

Qualifications

• 4–8+ years of project management experience in data centers, construction, energy infrastructure, or complex capital projects.
• Demonstrated 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, you 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, escalated 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.
