Analyze construction performance data — including earned value, schedule variance, and productivity metrics — to identify trends, surface risks, and drive corrective actions

Partner with design, engineering, and commissioning teams to resolve field conflicts, manage RFIs and submittals, and ensure constructability of data center systems

Oversee contractor and subcontractor performance, including scope compliance, safety program adherence, and milestone accountability

Drive cross-functional alignment between real estate, design, procurement, and operations teams to support data center program delivery at scale

Define and implement construction reporting frameworks and dashboards that provide leadership with accurate, timely visibility into project health across the data center portfolio

Lead lessons-learned processes and contribute to the development of construction standards, playbooks, and best practices for future data center builds

Manage change order processes, contract compliance reviews, and owner-contractor dispute resolution to protect project scope and budget integrity

8+ years of experience in construction management for large-scale, mission-critical facilities such as data centers, industrial plants, or advanced manufacturing facilities

Experience applying project controls and construction analytics methodologies, including schedule analysis, cost tracking, earned value management, and risk quantification

Experience managing general contractors and subcontractors across civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical scopes on complex construction programs

Experience leading cross-functional project teams and driving alignment across design, engineering, procurement, and commissioning stakeholders

Experience with construction contract administration, including RFI management, submittal review, change order negotiation, and claims avoidance

Preferred Qualifications
