[Hiring] Project Manager @Rune

Role Description

As a Project Manager at Rune, you will own the end-to-end delivery of RELIC deployments, translating contract requirements into deployment plans and representing Rune to our commercial partners day to day.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Planning & Scheduling
  • Own the end-to-end deployment schedule for each site, phase by phase including site preparation, delivery, placement, electrical, server installation, networking, energization, and commissioning.
  • Coordinate across supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, and site partners to hold milestones; track dependencies, lead times, and risks, and escalate early with solutions.
  • Verify site readiness checklists are complete before every mobilization.
  • Manage multiple concurrent deployment phases and sites without dropping detail.
  • Codify field learnings into playbooks, checklists, and installation standards so every deployment is faster and more repeatable than the last.
  • Help design scalable deployment processes that support a growing, concurrent pipeline of sites.
• Project Execution
  • Work with Field Operations team to ensure seamless RELIC placement and mechanical installation, power cabling and terminations, B300 server installation, and structured fiber installation.
  • Direct and coordinate third-party contractors: electricians, general contractors, fiber and connectivity providers, equipment operators, and HVAC technicians.
  • Scope, schedule, and quality-check contractor work including cable tray and conduit installation, distribution panel terminations, and communications pathways.
  • Oversee delivery logistics: trucking windows, telehandler/forklift scheduling, unloading zones, and staging.
  • Enforce safety practices and installation quality on site: energization procedures, torque verification, circuit labeling, and fiber handling standards.
• Commercial Relationship
  • Serve as Rune's primary day-to-day contact with power partner operating teams.
  • Translate commercial agreements into executable scopes of work, delivery schedules, and site readiness requirements.
  • Communicate needs and requirements in both directions: what Rune needs from its partners and what the partner needs from Rune.
  • Run readiness reviews, site walks, and status updates; manage schedule changes, permitted delays, and scope adjustments.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of project management experience in modular/containerized data centers or similar field deployment environments.
• Data center commissioning or GPU/HPC cluster deployment experience.
• Working knowledge of electrical construction; comfortable with single-lines, power distribution, and energization practices.
• Familiarity with structured cabling and fiber optics (multimode fiber, MTP/MPO trunks, optical transceivers).
• Strong organizational and scheduling discipline; fluent in Gantt-based tools (e.g., Smartsheet, MS Project, Asana) and rigorous with checklists and documentation.
• Comfortable working on active construction and industrial sites, with willingness to travel extensively during deployment windows.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.

Benefits

• Competitive base and strategic ownership in what we believe will be one of the largest infrastructure build-outs of the decade.
