About the position

Meta is seeking an experienced Construction Manager to join our Data Center Engineering & Construction Team. Our data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently operates and upon which our innovative services are delivered. Building and operating data centers the "right" way is synonymous with ensuring high uptime, capacity availability, and capital conservation. The data center engineering team thinks from chip to chiller (or electrical substation), determining configurations and ensuring maximum efficiency of our compute infrastructure. As a Construction Manager, you will manage the construction, commissioning, and turnover of a Data Center within a campus program. This role involves managing the budget associated with the project, overseeing the cost change process, and negotiating the best pricing. You will also be responsible for managing the schedule and associated risks to ensure reliable and predictable turnover dates. Additionally, you will communicate upward regarding the status and risks of the project, negotiate vendor and contractor contracts, and mitigate risks through pre-planning and innovative strategies. You will partner with the General Contractor, external key stakeholders, and other vendors to foster a culture of collaboration. Supporting the pre-construction efforts for upcoming projects and promoting prefabrication strategies will also be part of your responsibilities. You will support the development of Capital Project Budgets and Construction ROMs, assist the Lease Delivery Manager with the lease campus-wide book of work, and ensure a zero punch-list during the on-site inspection process. Furthermore, you will promote and model an attitude of continuous improvement, partnership, and teamwork in behaviors and communications, while leading an industry-leading safety culture and program.
