Reporting to the President of Global Power Land Infrastructure, you will own construction execution for high-density AI campuses, new builds, and retrofits, from site diligence and design through energization, Level 1–5 commissioning, and turnover to operations, with accountability for safety, schedule, cost, and quality on every site.

You will lead site construction managers and discipline leads, set one delivery playbook across all builds, and manage general contractors, utility partners, and design consultants. The ideal candidate has delivered hundreds of megawatts of critical capacity from the owner's side at a hyperscaler or AI infrastructure company, has delivered liquid-cooled AI data halls, and can run several sites at once without losing control of cost or schedule.

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural, Electrical, Mechanical, or Architectural Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Professional certifications such as PE, PMP, OSHA 30/40-Hour, or LEED.
• Construction leadership at a hyperscaler, AI cloud provider, or large data center developer.

Requirements

• Proven delivery of multiple concurrent builds or multi-building campuses totaling 300MW+ of critical capacity, with capital budgets of $1B+.
• Hands-on delivery of AI/ML-ready, high-density, or liquid-cooled data centers, including direct-to-chip cooling.
• Experience across self-build, colocation, and third-party data center delivery, including tenant fit-outs.
• Working knowledge of civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical systems, MV/HV power distribution, substation interconnection, and Level 1–5 commissioning.
• Strong command of EAC forecasting, owner's contingency, change-order control, value engineering, and OFCI procurement.
• Track record of building standard construction processes and playbooks across multiple regions or programs.
• Experience working with jurisdictions, inspectors, and building codes; military or public-sector engineering experience is a plus.

Benefits

• A culture that values authenticity and diverse perspectives.
• An inclusive, respectful environment with open workspaces and an energetic, start-up spirit.
• A fast-growing company with opportunities to network with industry pioneers and enthusiasts.
• The ability to contribute directly and make an impact on the future of the digital asset and AI computing industry.
• Involvement in new projects and in developing processes/systems.
• Personal accountability, autonomy, rapid growth, and learning opportunities.
• Attractive benefits and development such as training and mentoring.
