• Drive project schedules, budgets, and overall project performance.
• Track milestones, deliverables, and critical path activities.
• Lead collaboration between owners, contractors, consultants, and design teams.
• Monitor quality standards and project compliance.
• Support commissioning activities and operational readiness planning.
• Facilitate project meetings and provide executive-level project updates.
• Develop solutions to keep the project on schedule and within budget.
• Ensure accountability across all project stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate understands how to represent ownership interests on highly complex construction projects. They can proactively identify issues before they become problems, challenge assumptions when necessary, drive accountability among project teams, and ensure successful project outcomes.
We're seeking someone who can walk into meetings prepared with solutions, manage multiple stakeholders effectively, and confidently lead discussions related to schedule, quality, risk, and project execution.

• Work on a landmark hyperscale data center development.
