Job description

Work Requirements: US Citizen, GC Holders or Authorized to Work in the U.S.

The Lease Delivery team (within Global Data Center Engineering & Construction) is responsible for delivering leased data center capacity on aggressive timelines. The portfolio is scaling rapidly – new lease sites, retrofits, and fit-outs are running in parallel across regions. We need a Lead CM who can operate with minimal oversight, own delivery of scope packages end-to-end, and provide leadership to the broader field team.

Compelling Story & Candidate Value Proposition

You’ll operate as an on-site delivery leader – not just executing tasks, but making real-time decisions that keep multi-million-dollar programs on track. You’ll have high autonomy, direct influence on how leased DC capacity comes online, and the opportunity to set the operating standard for a growing team. This is a role where strong construction leaders get to run scope like it’s their own project, with the backing and resources of one of the world's largest infrastructure builders.

Typical Day in the Role

• Morning huddle with team, landlord, GC/Subs: set priorities, clear blockers, align on the day's critical path activities.
• Walk the site: quality checks, safety observations, progress verification against schedule.
• Contractor coordination meetings: drive accountability on deliverables, RFIs, submittals, and change orders.
• Schedule and risk: Track updates, flag slippages, propose and drive recovery plans, and update trackers.
• Interface with your lead: elevate decisions that exceed authority, provide concise status reporting.
• Documentation: close out inspection records, update logs, maintain audit-ready files.

Top 3 Must-Have HARD Skills

• Hyperscale / Mission-Critical Data Center Construction Management – Demonstrated experience running large-scale DC builds, including shell/core, fit-out, or retrofit scopes.
• Integrated Schedule & Risk Management – Ability to own and drive P6/master schedule, forecast risks, and proactively de-risk timelines across multiple packages and trades.
• Process & Documentation Discipline (SOPs/SIPs/RFIs) – Strong track record building and enforcing process frameworks (RFI management, submittals, inspection/test plans, SIPs) at a standard

Good-to-Have Skills

• Constructability review & design-build delivery judgment. The candidate needs to be able to identify major clashes, be able to review a phasing plan and provide feedback, logistical approach, etc.
• Experience leading/mentoring other CWs or field staff
• Familiarity with industry-specific tools and operating cadences (e.g., Procore, Smartsheet, ACC)
• Lease-specific delivery nuances (landlord interface, base-building coordination, tenant improvement scopes)
• Safety program ownership or oversight at site level
