Meta is seeking an experienced Construction Manager to join our Data Center Engineering & Construction Team. This role is critical as our data centers serve as the backbone of our rapidly scaling infrastructure, ensuring that our innovative services are delivered efficiently. The Construction Manager will be responsible for managing the construction, commissioning, and turnover of data centers within a campus program, ensuring that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and safety. The Construction Manager will oversee the entire construction process, from initial planning through to project completion. This includes managing the budget associated with the project, negotiating contracts with vendors and contractors, and ensuring that all work complies with industry standards and safety regulations. The role requires a proactive approach to risk management, with a focus on pre-planning and innovative solutions to mitigate potential issues. In addition to managing the construction process, the Construction Manager will also be responsible for fostering a culture of collaboration among various stakeholders, including general contractors, internal cross-functional partners, and external vendors. This includes coordinating procurement needs, supporting pre-construction efforts, and promoting prefabrication strategies to enhance efficiency. The position requires a commitment to continuous improvement and safety, with the Construction Manager expected to model these values in their interactions and communications. The role involves significant travel, with approximately 50% of the time spent at lease project build sites across North America. The Construction Manager will also respond to emergencies as needed and maintain a deep knowledge of the market to support site selection efforts.
