Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end project management of a portfolio of concurrent data center design and solution delivery programs from initiation through construction-ready handoff.
- Build and maintain integrated master schedules across architectural, structural, MEP, civil, technology, and specialty design disciplines.
- Establish program governance: milestone gates, design review cadences, change control protocols, and decision logs that create accountability without creating overhead.
- Ensure nothing is unforeseen — identify risks, interdependencies, and blockers ahead of the team and resolve them before they become issues.
- Produce crisp portfolio-level status reporting for leadership: schedule health, risk register, open decisions, and escalation flags.
- Own Fluidstack’s internal template program for design and engineering delivery — including project management playbooks, design review templates, consultant scopes, RFP frameworks, and meeting structures.
- Drive standardization across the portfolio so that every project starts from a proven foundation, not from scratch.
- Continuously improve templates based on lessons learned and team feedback; maintain version control and ensure adoption.
- Build and maintain a document control and deliverable tracking system that gives the team real-time visibility into the status of every design package.
- Champion the use of automation, tooling, and digital workflows within the design and engineering domain to eliminate manual effort and reduce administrative friction.
- Identify repetitive processes across the project lifecycle and build systematic solutions — whether that is a structured template, a script, or a platform workflow.
- Evaluate and implement project management and design coordination platforms; drive adoption and configure tools to match how the team actually works.
- Act as the operational interface between design engineers and project tools — so engineers spend their time on technical work, not on tracking and reporting.
- Coordinate design deliverable schedules across external consultants (architects, MEP engineers, civil, structural, specialty) and track against program milestones.
- Manage the consultant procurement and scoping process: develop RFPs, evaluate proposals, support contract negotiations, and onboard design teams to Fluidstack’s standards.
- Run design milestone reviews (Concept, SD, DD, CD): prepare agendas, track open items, drive resolution, and document decisions.
- Manage the RFI and design clarification process during early construction phases to maintain continuity between design and build.
- Coordinate between internal technical leads and external delivery teams to ensure design scope, budget, and schedule remain aligned.
- Serve as the primary project management point of contact for design consultants, equipment vendors, and internal stakeholders across each program.
- Facilitate cross-functional workshops, value engineering sessions, and coordination meetings with real estate, construction, operations, and infrastructure teams.
- Manage long-lead equipment coordination and vendor submittals in alignment with design and procurement schedules.
- Keep stakeholders informed with structured, concise communications — the right information to the right people at the right cadence.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline.
- 7+ years of experience managing complex technical projects with real design content — experience in data center, oil and gas, product manufacturing, industrial infrastructure, power, or large-scale construction is relevant.
- Demonstrated experience coordinating multi-disciplinary design teams and managing external consultants through a full design lifecycle.
- Exceptional organizational skills — a natural system-builder who creates structure, anticipates problems, and drives clarity in ambiguous environments.
- Strong written and verbal communication; able to produce clear, concise project documentation and executive-level status reports.
- Proficiency with project scheduling tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, or equivalent) and experience implementing or improving PM workflows and tooling.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, owner/developer environment where roles are broad and initiative is expected.
Nice to Have
- Experience in data center, mission-critical, or hyperscale infrastructure development.
- Background in product manufacturing, process engineering, or technically complex production environments — where delivery rigor and design quality intersect.
- Experience with BIM and digital delivery environments (Autodesk ACC/BIM 360, Revit, Navisworks).
- PMP, PgMP, or equivalent project/program management certification.
- Exposure to capital project financial management: budgeting, cost reporting, and change order management.
Benefits
- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
