The Opportunity

We are representing one of the largest general contractors in the US on a multi-billion-dollar hyperscale data center program

This is a Senior Project Executive opportunity for an experienced construction leader who has the ability to take ownership of a major campus, lead multiple project teams, and operate at an executive level with a highly demanding client.

The overall program is expected to span multiple phases and buildings, with individual sections led by Project Executives reporting into the senior leader responsible for the broader program.

This is a genuine 1A leadership hire not a typical Project Executive position.

• Overall leadership of a major multi-billion-dollar data center program
• Multiple project teams, Project Executives and senior construction professionals
• Delivery from preconstruction through construction, commissioning and closeout
• Client relationships at the executive level
• Overall project strategy, schedule, budget and commercial performance
• Risk management, procurement, contracts and major trade partner relationships
• Coordination across multiple buildings, phases and workstreams
• Development and leadership of a high-performing project organization
• Maintaining accountability for safety, quality, schedule and profitability

What We're Looking For

• 15+ years of commercial construction experience
• Experience leading large-scale, complex projects or multi-building programs
• A track record across the full project lifecycle, from preconstruction through turnover
• Experience managing senior project teams and multiple workstreams
• Strong client-facing and executive communication skills
• Proven commercial, contractual and financial leadership
• Experience on projects in the $500M+ range, ideally within hyperscale data centers or similarly complex environments
• The presence and leadership ability to operate as the senior figure across a major campus

Why This Opportunity

This is an opportunity to take ownership of one of the most significant data center construction programs currently being developed in Texas.

You will have the scale, resources and senior-level exposure to build and lead a substantial organization, work directly with a major hyperscale client and have meaningful influence over the delivery of the overall campus.
