Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands.

The Opportunity Overwatch Mission Critical is building out this team to support multiple concurrent projects. This role will operate during the initial design and preconstruction phases, with heavy collaboration across design, engineering, and project controls teams.

Acting as a trusted extension of the Owner, you will be responsible for aligning design, engineering, and construction teams to ensure on-time, on-budget, and high-quality project delivery. This is a high-impact role requiring strategic leadership, technical expertise, and direct engagement with both internal stakeholders and external vendor partners.
