Job Description

Project Manager – Mission-Critical / Data Center Construction

Locations: Harlingen, TX

Base salary: Around $200,000, depending on experience

Additional compensation: Strong per diem and project-specific package

We are recruiting experienced general contractor-side Project Managers for major mission-critical and data center projects in Texas. These opportunities call for leaders who can manage a complex project from planning through closeout, coordinate multiple trades, and keep field execution, schedule, and financial performance aligned.

The compensation package is a significant part of these opportunities. Depending on the project and package, total annual compensation may reach $400,000–$500,000. That figure is potential total compensation, not a guaranteed salary, and the terms will be discussed for each assignment.

What you’ll do

  • Lead day-to-day project management from planning and mobilization through commissioning and closeout.

  • Partner with the Superintendent and field team to coordinate trade partners, procurement, milestones, and site priorities.

  • Manage the project budget, cost reporting, change orders, schedule commitments, and client communication.

  • Identify risks early and work with the team to resolve issues affecting cost, quality, or delivery.

  • Keep owners and project stakeholders informed while maintaining accountability across the project team.

What we’re looking for

  • Project management experience with a general contractor on large, complex construction projects.

  • Strong data center or mission-critical construction experience.

  • A proven record of delivering projects through completion.

  • Experience coordinating multiple trades and working closely with field leadership.

  • Strong command of project financials, scheduling, change management, and stakeholder communication.

If you have led data center or mission-critical work on the general contractor side and are open to a project in Harlingen or Pecos, I’d welcome a confidential conversation about the role and its specific compensation package.
