  • Maintain close communication with owners, hyperscale clients, and engineering teams to ensure alignment on high‑precision project goals.
  • Ensure complete and accurate project documentation and manage close‑out procedures.
  • Conduct punch‑list inspections with the superintendent and owner’s representatives, ensuring timely completion.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships to support repeat Data Center and commercial opportunities.

Qualifications

  • Minimum of 5 years’ Mechanical Project Management experience on commercial, institutional, government, or preferably mission‑critical/Data Center projects exceeding $10 million.
  • Proven ability to manage large project teams with a strong command of project controls and financial oversight.
  • Experience working on fast‑paced Data Center construction schedules strongly preferred.
  • Strong skills in change order management, budgeting, and mechanical system coordination.
  • Ability to lead highly technical, cross‑disciplinary meetings.
  • Demonstrated track record of stability and successful project delivery.

Our client is committed to the health and well‑being of their employees and offers an excellent compensation package, including:

  • Competitive salary plus substantial bonus opportunities

  • Comprehensive family healthcare
  • Car allowance
