Job Description

Northwest Houston has quietly become one of the busiest data center corridors in Texas, with new hyperscale and colocation campuses going up along the Beltway 8 and Highway 290 area.

If you enjoy complex work, good people and a long runway of projects, this could be a great fit.

What You'll Do

  • Lead data center projects from preconstruction and buyout through commissioning and closeout
  • Own the budget, cost reports, change orders and schedule, and keep everyone working from the same plan
  • Partner with owners, engineers and electrical and mechanical trade partners to solve problems early
  • Team up with superintendents on safety, quality and day-to-day jobsite flow
  • Coach assistant project managers and project engineers and help them build their careers
  • Keep owners informed with clear, straightforward updates

What You Bring

  • Project management experience with a general contractor, including data center or mission-critical work (required)
  • Hands-on knowledge of critical power, cooling systems, MEP-heavy coordination and phased commissioning
  • Strong habits around scheduling, cost control and documentation
  • An easygoing, team-first attitude and clear communication
  • A degree in construction management, engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience

What We Offer

Competitive salary, bonus and benefits, a steady pipeline of mission-critical work in the Houston area, and a team that invests in your growth.
