Job Description

Job Title: Construction Manager – Data Centers (AI & GPU Infrastructure)

Location: Austin, Texas

The company

A fast-growing, elite infrastructure platform working with the world’s leading AI labs, governments, and enterprises is hiring a Data Center Construction Manager to lead execution of next-generation GPU data center builds across multiple geographies.

This is a hands-on, owner-side role for construction leaders who thrive in the field, move fast, and deliver complex projects under extreme power and cooling demands. If you’ve built hyperscale, semiconductor, or mission-critical facilities and want to operate at the bleeding edge of AI infrastructure, this role delivers.

The position

  • Lead day-to-day site execution for greenfield and brownfield data center builds
  • Build and drive integrated schedules (Primavera P6 / MS Project) across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning
  • Enforce a zero-incident safety culture across all contractors and trades
  • Coordinate CSA and MEP scopes, resolving field conflicts in real time
  • Track daily progress, cost, earned value, and resources; issue recovery plans as needed
  • Oversee QA/QC, material submittals, RFIs, and change orders
  • Interface closely with Design, Procurement, Commissioning, and Operations teams
  • Develop scopes of work and technical exhibits for critical-path trades
  • Manage construction contracts from award through close-out, ensuring budget, schedule, and spec compliance

Could this role be for you?

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Construction Management preferred)
  • 7+ years delivering hyperscale, semiconductor, or mission-critical construction projects
  • Deep understanding of CSA & MEP execution, procurement workflows, and cost controls
  • Proven success on fast-track, multi-site or multi-region builds
  • OSHA 30 (or equivalent); strong familiarity with NFPA 70E, local codes, and permitting
  • Strong field leadership and subcontractor management skills
  • Ability to read BIM/Revit models and interpret IFC packages on the fly
  • Willingness to travel 50%+ to active project sites

Why apply?

  • Build GPU-dense, AI-driven data centers at global scale
  • True site ownership — execution authority, not oversight
  • Fast-track projects with elite design, procurement, and ops teams
  • Work directly on infrastructure enabling frontier AI development
  • Highly competitive base salary: $130,000 – $230,000 (experience, location dependent)
  • Equity participation as part of total compensation
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement or pension plan (region-aligned)
  • Generous PTO policy
