Job Description

The Portland metro has become one of the West Coast's most active data center corridors, with steady mission-critical growth stretching from the Pearl District out to Hillsboro.

If you like technical builds, a collaborative team and leaving every project better organized than you found it, this one is worth a look.

What You'll Do

• Manage data center projects from preconstruction and buyout through commissioning and turnover

• Own the budget, schedule, cost forecasts, change orders and monthly owner billing

• Be a friendly, reliable point of contact for owners, engineers and trade partners

• Stay ahead of long-lead equipment like switchgear, generators, UPS systems and cooling units

• Work hand in hand with superintendents on safety, quality, phasing and integrated systems testing

• Support and mentor project engineers and assistant project managers

What You Bring

• Project management experience with a general contractor, including data center or mission-critical construction (required)

• A good working knowledge of critical power, cooling, MEP coordination and commissioning

• Strong organization and a knack for keeping cost and schedule on track

• Clear, easygoing communication with owners, designers and field crews

• A degree in construction management, engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience

What We Offer

Competitive salary, bonus and benefits, a busy pipeline of mission-critical work in the Portland area, and a team that supports your growth.
