TFO Project Manager

Overwatch Mission Critical • New Albany, OH

17d • Onsite

About The Position

The Project Manager (TFO) is responsible for leading the design, pre-construction, and construction activities for projects within our operational data center portfolio. Unlike "ground-up" builds, the TFO focus requires a specialized approach to managing infrastructure upgrades, equipment replacements, and interior fit-outs while maintaining 100% uptime for our existing customers. You will serve as the primary bridge between the Development team and the Technical Facilities Operations (TFO) staff.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Business, Engineering, or applicable field experience (Degree is not required)
• Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in commercial construction, specifically within the mission-critical or data center sectors.
• Technical Savvy: Deep understanding of MEP trades (UPS, Generators, Chillers, CRAHs, Switchgear) and how they integrate into an operational facility.
• Project Delivery: Proven track record managing Lump Sum, CM@Risk, or Design-Build delivery methods.
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical hurdles into clear updates for non-technical stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Commissioning (Cx) levels 1–5 in a data center environment.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Project, Procore, or similar project management software.
• PMP or LEED certification is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Operational Integration: Project execution within live data center environments, ensuring zero impact on mission-critical operations and existing customer SLAs.
• Lifecycle Management: Manage multiple concurrent projects from conceptual development and procurement through to commissioning and final close-out.
• Vendor & Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary liaison between Facilities Operations, General Contractors, MEP trades, and Engineering teams. Lead weekly Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) meetings.
• Financial Oversight: Create and maintain project budgets, track cost-to-date, review monthly pay applications, and negotiate change orders to ensure fiscal responsibility.
• Technical Scoping: Write detailed Scopes of Work (SOW) for design, construction, and commissioning services, specifically focusing on MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) infrastructure.
• Scheduling: Establish and drive project schedules, coordinating closely with site security and operations teams to manage site access and high-risk work windows.
• Executive Reporting: Create and present monthly program updates and status reports suitable for executive-level review.

Benefits

• We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off.
