Job description

Locations : Mississippi, Phoenix, Texas, Indiana or Virginia

TYG is leading a confidential search for a Project Executive to oversee a multi-phase hyperscale data center campus. The client is a national GC with more than a gigawatt of mission‑critical capacity delivered or under construction. Its development, preconstruction and construction teams work together from the outset, giving the PX influence over the delivery strategy before the field team mobilizes.

You’ll own the overall campus outcome and serve as the senior relationship lead for the owner. The remit spans commercial performance, field execution and the leadership team needed to deliver successive phases.

What you’ll do

• Agree on the campus delivery strategy with the owner, including phase budgets, contracting approach, procurement priorities and dates for bringing capacity online.
• Build and lead the senior project team across operations, field supervision, MEP, cost management and commissioning. Allocate people and trade capacity as phases overlap.
• Own the project financials, contract negotiations and major risk decisions. Where multiple partners share delivery, establish clear accountability for scope, cost and schedule.
• Lead executive reviews with the owner. Resolve escalated issues around utility power, long‑lead equipment, construction sequencing and commissioning before they affect handover.
• Set expectations for safety, quality and turnover across the campus, and carry lessons from the first phase into subsequent builds.

What you’ll bring

At least 15 years of progressive construction leadership, including seven or more years dedicated to mission‑critical or data center delivery. The strongest candidates will have held executive responsibility for a hyperscale campus or individual phases of 100 MW or more, led multidisciplinary teams and managed the owner relationship through final commissioning. Experience with complex contracts, high‑voltage infrastructure and phased campus delivery is central to the role.
