—Coordinate with general contractors, subcontractors, and client stakeholders

—Enforce quality control (QC) processes to ensure installations meet design specifications, load requirements, and industry standards

—Monitor project schedule, budget, and progress; proactively identify and resolve risks/issues

—Ensure compliance with safety standards and site protocols

—Review construction drawings, submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings related to supports and overhead systems

—Verify proper installation tolerances, anchoring, and support systems for overhead infrastructure

—Support commissioning and handover processes

Required Qualifications

—5-10+ years of construction management experience, preferably in mission-critical or data center environments

—Strong understanding of construction sequencing, trade coordination, and site management

—Experience overseeing installation of:

—Structural support and seismic bracing systems

—Containment and mechanical/electrical infrastructure

—Demonstrated ability to manage multiple subcontractors and deliver projects on schedule

—Strong knowledge of QA/QC processes, including inspection of support systems and overhead installations

—Project Management skills including scheduling and budgeting

—Strong stakeholder and client communication

Preferred Qualifications

—Familiarity with low voltage cabling (LVC) and/or fiber optic infrastructure within data centers

—Procore experience is strongly preferred
