Senior Project Manager, Power Infrastructure

Crusoe•Denver, CO

About The Position

Crusoe is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Project Manager to join our growing Project Execution team. This role focuses specifically on the power generation aspects of our large-scale data center projects, encompassing electrical, communication, controls, and mechanical systems. You will play a critical role through the lifecycle of the project, managing engineering execution, construction, completions, commissioning, and turnover. Reporting to a Program Manager, the Project Manager owns end-to-end delivery of an individual power project within a larger program — leading cross-functional teams, directing schedule, cost, and procurement outcomes, and ensuring the successful deployment of power infrastructure. This position requires deep knowledge of power generation technologies, construction execution, and project management methodologies. You lead a project delivery team built on two leads: a Project Engineer, who owns technical execution, and an Assistant Project Manager, who owns commercial execution and directs the project controls team (Project Controls Manager, Project Scheduler, and Procurement Specialist). You will work closely with engineering, operations, and technology teams across the full project lifecycle, ensuring projects are completed on time, within scope, and on budget while meeting quality and safety standards.

Proven track record in industrial environments, with a strong preference for experience in power generation and project execution within the oil and gas or energy sector.
Exceptional skills encompassing planning, scheduling, budgeting, cost control, risk management, resource allocation, change management, and stakeholder communication.

Direct the project's scheduling and controls functions through the commercial lead — setting the controls framework and KPIs, reviewing cost and schedule performance, and holding those functions accountable.
Apply strong technical command of scheduling and project controls to challenge and integrate their outputs rather than producing them.

Develop both leads and their teams, delegating ownership to build capability.

Ensure compliance with safety standards, codes, and regulations.
Approve technical documentation, drawings, and specifications.
Direct the project through field construction, maintaining the project schedule and coordinating contractors, suppliers, and key stakeholders.
Make field-level decisions on construction sequencing and resolve conflicts between trades.
Lead the project team through construction completions, commissioning, and project turnover phases while supporting the strategic timeline for power generation.
Ensure turnover documentation and system readiness meet operational requirements.
Set procurement and contracting strategy and own the commercial outcome, while the Assistant Project Manager's commercial team executes purchasing, expediting, and contract administration.
Oversee installation, testing, and commissioning at field locations.
Approve contractor agreements and ensure adherence to commercial terms and safety protocols.
Provide on-site project support during construction, commissioning, and turnover phases.
Coordinate field logistics, verify deliverables, and document site conditions.
