Are you ready to open a world of opportunity in talent mobility? Our clients include some of the largest and most recognized brands in the world. They’re innovators and leaders in their industries, making life-enhancing breakthroughs every day. We help them tap into those opportunities by placing their exceptional people where they need to be, anywhere in the world. When it comes to service, we set the bar for exceptional … and then we raise it with fresh ideas, leading tools and innovative approaches, and it’s all grounded in our values of truth, love, and integrity. We call it People-first Mobility. We’re looking for exceptional people who share those values along with our passion for delivering the highest levels of service. If that sounds like you, and if you’re ready for a new career opportunity, we’d like to hear from you! Here’s to the world ahead.

The Project Manager, Data Center and Rapid Deployments will lead complex site deployment projects supporting data centre development and expansion, temporary workforce infrastructure, remote-site operations and other rapid-response business needs. Reporting to the Business Unit Leader, this role will coordinate projects from initial planning and scoping through mobilisation, site launch, operational stabilisation and closeout.

The successful candidate will manage scope, schedules, budgets, risks, vendors, contractors, documentation and stakeholder communication across multiple workstreams. This role is well suited to a practical and highly organised project professional who can bring structure to fast-moving environments, anticipate execution risks and keep internal teams and external partners aligned.

Manage commercial and financial performance: Monitor budgets, forecasts, expenditure, invoices, change orders and cost implications with Finance and Procurement.

Provide clear project communication: Lead meetings and prepare concise status reports, leadership briefings, decision papers and escalation updates.
Drive quality, handover and continuous improvement: Monitor deliverables, service levels and punch-list items and complete closeout documentation, lessons learned and transition notes.
