Customer Project Manager – Data Center Infrastructure

Hut 8•Miami, FL

About The Position

Hut 8 is seeking a Customer Project Manager to own customer-facing project management from lease execution through Ready for Service (RFS). This role serves as the central link among the customer, Hut 8 Commercialization, Asset Management, Engineering and Construction, and the general contractor. The role covers the development, construction, commissioning, and delivery period. At RFS and project closeout, customer and site responsibility transitions to Asset Management. The Customer Project Manager will be the customer's primary point of contact for all design, engineering, construction, commissioning, and delivery matters through RFS, acting as the day-to-day integrator across all stakeholders. This role requires maintaining ground-level knowledge of the project, including design development, construction sequencing, RFIs, submittals, schedule dependencies, open issues, and change orders, by working directly with Hut 8 and contractor engineering and construction teams. The position also involves owning customer-initiated change requests end-to-end, evaluating and communicating the downstream effects of proposed changes, and ensuring all processes are followed. The role requires translating customer requirements into clear direction for internal and contractor teams, and translating technical and schedule information into clear updates for the customer and Commercialization leadership. Providing regular, accurate updates on project status, preparing for and leading customer project meetings, and maintaining a single source of truth for project documentation are key responsibilities. The role also includes identifying and escalating issues that could affect RFS, customer expectations, commercial terms, project economics, or long-term operability, and coordinating project closeout and formal handoff to Asset Management.

Requirements

5–10 years of experience in project management, construction management, owner's representation, or customer delivery within data center, energy, or industrial infrastructure environments.
Strong working knowledge of EPC and general contractor processes, including design development, RFIs, submittals, procurement, construction sequencing, commissioning, change management, and project closeout.
Able to work in the details with engineering and construction teams while communicating clearly at the executive level with customers and internal leadership.
Experience assessing and communicating the cost, schedule, technical, contractual, and operational impacts of proposed project changes.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to manage senior customer stakeholders and translate between technical and commercial audiences.
Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple decisions, timelines, approvals, and workstreams across one or more active projects.
Proactive in identifying risks early, driving cross-functional resolution, and maintaining accountability across internal and external teams.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with data center leases, EPC agreements, construction contracts, and change orders strongly preferred.
