Job Description

Sr. Project Manager – Data Centers (Central U.S. | Owner’s Rep)

Ground-up. Brownfield. Fit-out.

Three concurrent mission-critical builds.

We’re partnering with a 100% data center-focused platform seeking a Senior Project Manager to act as the Owner’s Representative across multiple projects in the Central U.S.

This is not a GC role.

This is leadership on behalf of the owner - driving schedule, cost, quality, and accountability from preconstruction through commissioning and turnover.

🔧 What You’ll Lead

  • Oversight of multiple concurrent data center builds (ground-up + upgrades)
  • Direct interface with ownership and executive stakeholders
  • GC and engineering firm oversight across all phases
  • Executive-level reporting on schedule, risk, constraints, and budget
  • Change order management and financial risk mitigation
  • Cross-functional coordination (design, commissioning, controls, security, operations)
  • Constructability review of electrical & mechanical systems
  • Collaboration with commissioning teams to ensure performance prior to turnover

You’ll be the bridge between field execution and ownership expectations.

🎯 What You Bring

  • 7+ years Project Management experience
  • Mission-critical construction experience required
  • Strong working knowledge of:
  • Switchgear
  • Generators
  • Chillers & cooling towers
  • AHUs
  • Fire/life safety systems
  • Integrated controls & security
  • Ability to read and interpret full drawing packages
  • Proficiency in MS Project, Excel, Bluebeam, Procore
  • Executive communication strength

Rotation schedule:

2 weeks onsite | 1 week remote/home-based

🔥 Why This Role Stands Out

  • True Owner-side leadership exposure
  • Executive-level reporting visibility
  • Influence across a growing data center portfolio
  • Multi-project oversight - not single-job tunnel vision
  • Heavy impact on commissioning and turnover performance

This is for PMs who understand that in mission-critical environments, details are not optional -they’re everything.

If you’ve delivered data center infrastructure and want to operate at the ownership level rather than just manage trades, let’s connect confidentially.
