Senior Data Center Project Manager - Owners Rep
Job Description
Sr. Project Manager – Data Centers (Central U.S. | Owner’s Rep)
Ground-up. Brownfield. Fit-out.
Three concurrent mission-critical builds.
We’re partnering with a 100% data center-focused platform seeking a Senior Project Manager to act as the Owner’s Representative across multiple projects in the Central U.S.
This is not a GC role.
This is leadership on behalf of the owner - driving schedule, cost, quality, and accountability from preconstruction through commissioning and turnover.
What You’ll Lead
- Oversight of multiple concurrent data center builds (ground-up + upgrades)
- Direct interface with ownership and executive stakeholders
- GC and engineering firm oversight across all phases
- Executive-level reporting on schedule, risk, constraints, and budget
- Change order management and financial risk mitigation
- Cross-functional coordination (design, commissioning, controls, security, operations)
- Constructability review of electrical & mechanical systems
- Collaboration with commissioning teams to ensure performance prior to turnover
You’ll be the bridge between field execution and ownership expectations.
What You Bring
- 7+ years Project Management experience
- Mission-critical construction experience required
- Strong working knowledge of:
- Switchgear
- Generators
- Chillers & cooling towers
- AHUs
- Fire/life safety systems
- Integrated controls & security
- Ability to read and interpret full drawing packages
- Proficiency in MS Project, Excel, Bluebeam, Procore
- Executive communication strength
Rotation schedule:
2 weeks onsite | 1 week remote/home-based
Why This Role Stands Out
- True Owner-side leadership exposure
- Executive-level reporting visibility
- Influence across a growing data center portfolio
- Multi-project oversight - not single-job tunnel vision
- Heavy impact on commissioning and turnover performance
This is for PMs who understand that in mission-critical environments, details are not optional -they’re everything.
If you’ve delivered data center infrastructure and want to operate at the ownership level rather than just manage trades, let’s connect confidentially.
