What You'll Do

Lancium is seeking a highly experienced Local On-Site Manager to lead day-to-day operations for a multi-year AI data center campus. The site includes HV/MV substations and electrical backbone infrastructure built and owned by Lancium, while tenant constructors build and operate their own facilities. Peak site mobilization can exceed 4,000+ personnel across multiple trades.

This role represents the company on the ground and ensures the site is safe, lawful, constructible-at scale, and welcomed by the local community. The On-Site Manager will coordinate daily field operations, manage interfaces between contractors, utilities, public agencies, and community stakeholders, and report to both functional management and projectized Project/Operations Management.

Key Responsibilities:

• Site Leadership: Serve as the primary point of contact for all Site Managers, Supervisors, and managers on site. Host and participate in site-wide coordination meetings to ensure clear communication and alignment.
• Site Governance & Daily Control: Oversee everything happening within the site boundary, including roads, utilities, laydown areas, and logistics. Orchestrate the daily “Plan of the Day” and rapid issue resolution.
• Stakeholder & Community Interface: Build trusted relationships with local stakeholders and the community to support project goals and promote local benefit.
• Multi-Prime Coordination: Align Lancium-owned HV/MV substation and collector work with tenant GC/EPC teams.
• Access, Security, Traffic & Logistics: Manage site access, traffic, and security in collaboration with contractors and stakeholders.
• Workforce & Community Impact: Coordinate local hiring, training, and housing/transport solutions. Monitor workforce accommodation and conditions if on-site camps are used.
• EHS Leadership: Enforce Lancium EHS expectations across all contractors and maintain compliance with safety regulations.
• Permitting & Compliance: Ensure local permits and regulations are adhered to for all hired work.
• Security & Emergency Management: Develop and post emergency procedures, including “grab and go” protocols.
• Media & Issues Management: Act as first responder for on-site media inquiries in accordance with corporate communications protocols.
• Utilities & Interconnections: Coordinate tie-ins, outages, and energization windows with utility, TSP, TDU, gas, water, and telecom providers.
• Landlord & Lease Management: Enforce lease boundaries, easements, ROWs, and site standards.
• Cost & Schedule Oversight: Track field productivity, elevate risks early, maintain integrated site master schedule, and log constraints affecting owners, tenants, and agencies.
• Turnover Readiness: Support Project and Operations Managers during energization events.
• Site Monitoring & Reporting: Use drone tools and surveillance to track progress and percent complete. Conduct site tours for VIPs and stakeholders, documenting status.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Monitor daily activities of all primes and utilities.
• Track access, EHS, emergency routes, call trees, and weather event responses.
• Manage interface clashes for laydown, duct banks, outages, road crossings, and energization.
• Maintain community relations cadence.
• Oversee traffic, parking, and road repairs.
• Approve working plans affecting shared assets.
• Guide incident response and investigations.
• Maintain issues and commitments register.
• Support major deliveries and ensure coordination with key stakeholders.
