About The Position
Fermi America is building one of the largest privately-owned natural gas utility and hyperscale data center campuses in the world. With active customer conversations underway and first construction imminent, we're hiring the foundational leader who will own field execution, hold the GC accountable, and serve as a credible, trusted face to our hyperscaler tenants. This is not a steady-state role. It's a career-defining opportunity to build a program from the ground up at real scale — and grow with it.

- 10+ years in hyperscale data center or mission-critical programs
- Experience as an owner's representative managing GCs on large-scale programs
- Strong command of GMP/EPC contract structures
- Deep knowledge of data center construction sequencing — shell/core, MEP, critical power, cooling
- Executive presence: comfortable representing Fermi in front of hyperscaler and technology company leadership
- Career trajectory with runway to grow — this is a foundational hire and we want someone who wants to build something
- Bachelor's in Construction Management, Civil/Mechanical Engineering, or related field
