Site Program Manager, Early Career

Nscale•Seattle, WA

2d•Onsite

About The Position

Nscale is building out AI infrastructure deployments across North America. As we transition from a vendor-led delivery model to in-house execution, we're hiring Site PMs who will own the physical delivery floor, coordinating trades, managing contractors, and driving daily site execution from civil through commissioning. This early-career track is for candidates who want to learn that floor ownership hands-on, under the mentorship of senior Site PMs.

Requirements

0–2 years of experience or a recent college graduate, with a degree in construction management, civil/electrical engineering, or a related technical field preferred
Basic ability to read or willingness to quickly learn construction drawings, RFIs, and submittments
A genuine interest in spending significant time on an active construction or data center site, since this is a hands-on, on-site role
Clear, organized communication, with the habit of taking good notes and surfacing what you saw without being asked
Calm, steady demeanor, comfortable being on a busy site and asking questions to learn quickly
Willingness to travel extensively and spend significant time on active deployment sites

Nice To Haves

Internship, co-op, or academic project experience in construction, data center operations, or critical infrastructure is a strong plus but not required
Coursework or certification related to construction management, OSHA 10/30, or project management
Prior internship in data center, telecom infrastructure, or large-scale technology deployment
Exposure to AI or GPU infrastructure (rack and stack, high-density power, cabling standards)

Responsibilities

Own on-site delivery execution across the full deployment lifecycle — from civil and structural through power, mechanical, cabling, hardware install, and commissioning
Coordinate trades on site — electrical, mechanical, low voltage, and network — driving daily standup cadence, resolving trade conflicts, and holding contractors accountable to schedule
Interface with General Contractors, subcontractors, and OEM vendors on site — managing RFIs, submittments, change orders, and daily progress
Track site schedule against the master plan — identify variances early, escalate proactively, and work with Project Controls to reflect actuals
Own site commissioning and acceptance testing process — coordinate power-on sequencing, thermal validation, network testing, and final sign-off against customer acceptance criteria
Produce daily and weekly site status updates to the Head of E2E Delivery and Integration PM — structured, data-led, no surprises
Enforce safety protocols on site — PPE compliance, LOTO procedures, hot-work permits, and change management controls
Build and maintain relationships with trades crews, contractors, and site teams — trust and credibility on the floor is a core part of this role
