Data Center PM: $145-165k + Profit Share + $20k Sign-On

Full time, hybrid

Ashburn, Virginia, United States

Compensation and benefits

Base salary is $145,000 to $165,000 USD, depending on experience, plus a $20,000 sign-on bonus ($10,000 on your first payroll and $10,000 at six months).

You also earn 4% of the gross profit on jobs you run that close at 12% gross margin or higher, with no cap. For example, a job that makes $2 million in gross profit pays an $80,000 bonus on top of salary. On jobs from a new client you bring in, you earn an extra 5%, so 9% in total, on the same terms.

Each bonus is paid 50% at closeout, once the job is closed and fully paid, holdback included, then 25% at 6 months and 25% at 18 months.

The package also includes:

Health, dental and vision with family coverage through a PEO

401(k) with a 100% match up to 4% of salary, vested immediately

Mileage at the IRS standard rate for driving between sites

Paid time off

6 months of base salary as severance if you are let go without cause or if the branch closes

An opportunity to grow into Branch Director as the office develops

Who we are

Derrig & Talbot is a fast growing, privately owned construction and project management company. We’ve been building in Montréal since 2015 and recently opened our Virginia office.

Our core expertise is data centers, along with industrial, healthcare and commercial work. We’ve delivered new builds, building additions and highly complex interior fit outs for some of the biggest names in the data center space. Our culture is built on personalized service, direct communication and close collaboration.

The role

We’re looking for an experienced Construction Project Manager to run the construction of our data center projects in Virginia. This is a general contractor role on the build side: you’ll manage construction projects inside data center facilities, not IT or data center operations.

You’ll be one of the first people on the ground in our US operation, working closely with ownership and our Montréal team, which has years of data center delivery behind it. As the office develops, there’s an opportunity to grow into Branch Director.

You’ll be responsible for planning, organizing, leading and controlling every phase of your projects while meeting budgets, schedules, contract requirements and the high standards our clients expect.

What you’ll do

Manage the day to day of construction projects (quality, cost, schedule)

Coordinate internal teams, subcontractors and outside partners

Build project schedules and keep them up to date

Prepare and manage field directives, RFIs and shop drawings

Coordinate deliveries, technical approvals and subcontractor submittals

Process change orders and prepare revised pricing

Keep a tight handle on budgets and progress on every job

Keep proactive, clear communication with clients and all stakeholders

Help build relationships with local subcontractors and suppliers as we grow our Virginia network

What we’re looking for

Degree in construction management, architecture, engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience)

3 to 5+ years managing commercial or industrial construction projects

Electrical or MEP project experience is a major asset

Data center or mission critical experience is a strong asset

Solid knowledge of the full construction project lifecycle

Established network of subcontractors in Northern Virginia is a plus

Strong organization, planning and time management skills

Entrepreneurial mindset and comfortable working in a growing office with a lot of autonomy
