This role is critical as our data centers serve as the backbone of our rapidly scaling infrastructure, ensuring high uptime, capacity availability, and capital conservation. The Construction Manager will oversee the construction, commissioning, and turnover of data centers within a campus program, ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of construction management principles and practices, particularly in the context of data centers, and will be responsible for managing multiple projects simultaneously from inception through to completion. In this position, the Construction Manager will be tasked with managing the project budget, negotiating contracts, and mitigating risks associated with construction projects. They will work closely with general contractors, vendors, and internal cross-functional partners to foster a collaborative work environment. The role also involves supporting pre-construction efforts, promoting prefabrication strategies, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations. The Construction Manager will be expected to maintain a culture of continuous improvement and safety, while also supporting the local operations team and other departments as needed. The position requires approximately 50% travel to lease project build sites across North America, and the Construction Manager will need to respond to emergencies as they arise.
