Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking a Site Project Manager to own on-site project delivery at a data center. You will oversee deployments, retrofits, upgrades, expansions, and equipment refreshes, coordinating with operations, facilities, engineering, and contractors to keep live sites running smoothly.

This role requires 3–5 years of end-to-end infrastructure project experience, strong organizational skills, and proficiency with scheduling tools.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years deploying and managing infrastructure, construction, facilities, or data center projects end to end.
• Site-based: able to be on site at a data center full time.
• Demonstrated ownership of project scope, schedule, budget, and vendors with minimal oversight.
• Experience managing contractors and vendors on active sites.
• Strong organization, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of on-site projects — deployments, retrofits, upgrades, expansions, equipment refresh, and decommissions.
• Plan and manage scope, schedule, budget, and vendors for each site project, keeping work on track within live-operations constraints.
• Partner with operations and facilities teams to sequence work around uptime, maintenance windows, and change-control requirements.
• Manage and hold accountable contractors, vendors, and service providers on site across the full project lifecycle.
• Own project risk: identify issues early, drive mitigations, and make the on-the-ground calls that keep projects moving.
• Coordinate with engineering and SMEs to validate scope and execution for technical site projects.
• Maintain project artifacts: schedules, budgets, risk and issue logs, change records, and as-built/closeout documentation.
• Provide clear status, risk, and milestone reporting to site leadership and program stakeholders.
• Drive site-level process improvements, runbooks, and standards that make recurring projects faster and safer.
