  • Direct field execution — ensuring schedule, budget, safety, and quality standards are met across all active projects. 
  • Review and interpret engineering drawings and construction documents to identify risks, resolve design conflicts, and anticipate issues before they escalate. 
  • Lead contractor and vendor onboarding, ensuring alignment on scope, deliverables, and performance expectations. 
  • Change management - Ensure cost and schedule impacts are fully validated and justified. 
  • Coordinate closely with internal teams such as development, energy, engineering, and finance to ensure construction aligns with project and business objectives. 
  • Establish and maintain project controls — progress reporting, risk tracking, schedule management, and cost forecasting.  
  • Develop and enforce consistent standards for construction management, reporting, and quality assurance across all sites. 
  • Act as the company’s on-site lead when required, representing ownership interests with contractors, utilities, and partners. 

 

QUALIFICATIONS 

  • 10+ years of construction management experience, ideally in data centers, energy, utility, or large-scale industrial infrastructure projects. 
  • Strong background in infrastructure (power, substation, civil, utilities) construction management 
  • Bonus: experience with power generation projects, especially natural gas plants or large electrical interconnection infrastructure. 
  • Proven track record of delivering complex, multi-stakeholder projects on time and within budget. 
  • Deep understanding of construction sequencing, design coordination, and field execution. 
  • Ability to anticipate and prevent problems through proactive planning and direct communication.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
