Technical Project Manager
About The Position
Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI Factory company with a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. Our competitive advantage—"Speed is the only moat"—is directly tied to our ability to rapidly build and deploy our own modular power and compute infrastructure. Crusoe's "Spark" MDC is the physical edge of the AI frontier. To meet our goal of 100+ units in 2027, we need world-class project execution. We are seeking a Technical Project Manager to own the end-to-end lifecycle of Spark deployments—from the moment a unit leaves the factory to the moment it is "Available to Customer" (ATC) in the field.
Requirements
- Technical Project Leadership: 10+ years of experience managing complex, high-stakes infrastructure projects (data centers, energy, or industrial manufacturing).
- Schedule Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in scheduling software; you live and breathe the critical path and dependencies.
- Technical Baseline: Enough depth to manage engineering requirements for power-up sequences, fiber paths, and the unique site-prep needs for liquid-cooled clusters.
- Vendor & Contract Management: Experience managing EPC firms and third-party service providers in a mission-critical environment.
- Safety & Readiness: A relentless commitment to site safety and "Mountaineer" level focus on operational readiness.
- Resilience: Proven ability to drive projects to completion despite global supply chain headwinds or technical setbacks. Ensure a “no surprise” mentality on project timelines, schedules, budgets and deployments with alternatives identified such that projects remain on schedule and within budget.
Responsibilities
- Deployment Lifecycle Management
- End-to-End Ownership: Manage the project schedule, budget, and resource allocation for specific Spark deployments.
- Site Readiness: Coordinate site preparation, permitting, and utility interconnection timelines to ensure sites are ready the moment Sparks arrive.
- Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify bottlenecks in procurement, construction, networking, and power readiness. Always have a "Plan B" to maintain velocity.
- Cross-Functional Orchestration
- Internal Connectivity: Serve as the primary "connective tissue" between Manufacturing, Construction, and the Spark Business Unit on a project basis.
- External Partner Coordination: Manage relationships with EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) firms and specialized third-party contractors for site execution.
- Process Standardization
- The Playbook: Create, manage and refine the "Spark Deployment Playbook," standardizing how we handle fast, predictable deployment cadences from end-to-end.
- Reporting: Provide high-fidelity project status updates for the executives, focusing on critical path items, coordinating with the Business Operations Manager to help develop, manage and distribute a Spark “Dashboard”.
