Project Manager – Data Center Construction | Travel
About The Position
LINX is hiring a Data Center Construction Project Manager to lead hyperscale builds at project sites across the country. This is a full-time travel role, with travel making up roughly 75% to 100% of your schedule. Projects are long-term assignments, not short trips, and you'll typically be home about once a month while a project is active. Per diem, vehicle allowance, and cell phone allowance cover the cost of that travel. If you've spent the last three years managing schedules, budgets, and crews on large-scale hyperscale data center projects, and you want a role built around long-term hyperscale assignments instead of general commercial construction, this is that role. Project Manager is where LINX hands you full budget and workforce ownership on a project. It's also the direct path to Senior Project Manager and Program Manager as LINX's hyperscale footprint expands into new markets.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience managing large-scale hyperscale data center construction projects or 3+ years of general commercial construction project management experience with direct ownership of at least one project budget in the $1 million to $3 million range

- Available for 100% travel to project sites nationwide (all travel expenses covered)
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
- Valid driver's license and auto insurance

- Adapt project plans to the specific site conditions, local labor market, and client requirements of each new long-term assignment
- Own the full multi-million dollar project budget, including labor hours, shift costs, materials, and equipment

- Coordinate with the LINX procurement team to ensure all equipment and materials are ordered, received, and staged before each project's start date
- Manage vendor and supplier relationships specific to each project site
- Oversee scheduling, hiring, and performance management of installation technicians on each project
