Job Description:

We are seeking a hands-on Project Manager to lead new data center development projects from site acquisition through pre-construction readiness.

  • liaise with municipalities, counties, and permitting agencies to ensure compliance with all regulations, and timely approvals

  • Engineering Coordination: Coordinate with civil, structural, and electrical engineers to produce design and construction drawings as required for permitting or investor approval
  • Vendor Management: Source, contract, and manage third-party vendors and consultants (surveyors, engineers, environmental specialists, etc.)
  • Budget Management: Prepare cost estimates, manage pre-construction budgets, track expenses, and ensure projects stay within the allocated budget
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams (Energy, Construction, Legal) to ensure all development milestones are aligned with utility timelines and investor deliverables
  • Documentation: Maintain organized project files, status reports, and deliverables to support due diligence and investor reporting

Requirements:

  • 3–7 years of experience in real estate development, construction project management, or data center / industrial / energy infrastructure projects
  • Strong understanding of permitting, site due diligence, and vendor coordination
  • Ability to read and interpret civil and electrical engineering drawings
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
  • Highly organized and self-directed, capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously
  • Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., Asana, Smartsheet, or MS Project) is a plus
  • Engineering, Construction Management, or related technical degree preferred
