Job Description
What We Value Most: Character & Conduct
Key Responsibilities
- As Senior Construction Manager, you lead the on-site build of Nscale's AI data centers, from mobilization through construction, commissioning and handover to operations. You are Nscale's presence on site, accountable for safety, quality, schedule and cost.
- Our campuses are high-density, liquid-cooled facilities built to house tens of thousands of GPUs, often on accelerated programs in remote, power-rich locations. You direct general contractors, MEP trade partners and equipment vendors so that each data hall is ready, energized and commissioned on the date our customers have contracted.
- Provide senior-level oversight of the overall construction program on behalf of Nscale, directly supervising the General Construction Manager(s), Preconstruction Manager, Construction Scheduler, Cost Manager, and EHS Manager
- Serve as the primary escalation point for schedule, cost, quality, and safety issues that exceed site-level authority
- Own the master program schedule and budget; report program status, risk, and financial performance directly to the Director and executive stakeholders
- Review and approve significant change orders, claims, and contract modifications prior to Nscale sign-off
- Chair OAC (Owner-Architect-Contractor) meetings and represent Nscale in key negotiations with General Contractors, design teams, and vendors
- Mentor and develop direct reports; establish and enforce consistent reporting standards, documentation practices, and quality expectations across all sites
- Preserve the independence of the program controls and safety functions, ensuring the Construction Scheduler, Cost Manager, and EHS Manager can escalate concerns without site-level interference
- Coordinate cross-project resources, staffing, and vendor allocation to meet program-wide priorities and deadlines
- Oversee commissioning, turnover, and closeout processes at the program level, ensuring consistency and completeness across sites
- Manage relationships with Nscale leadership, investors, and executive stakeholders; deliver periodic program-level updates and briefings
- Identify and mitigate program-level risks, including schedule slippage, cost overruns, supply chain disruptions, and resource conflicts
- Ensure compliance with contract terms, safety standards, and quality requirements across the full project portfolio
Requirements
- 8+ years in construction management, with at least 3 years leading mission-critical builds such as data centers, semiconductor fabs or large industrial facilities.
- Demonstrated experience directly managing General Construction Managers, program controls (scheduling and cost) functions, EHS leadership, and multi-site subcontractor teams
- Strong command of program-level scheduling (CPM), budget and cost control, and contract administration
- Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam Revu, and Microsoft Office Suite
- Ability to read and interpret full construction document sets across civil, structural, architectural, and MEP disciplines
- OSHA 30 certification required
- Valid driver's license; ability to travel between multiple project sites as required
- Experience overseeing hyperscale, colocation, or Tier III/IV data center construction programs
- Familiarity with DCIM systems, raised floor environments, or critical power/cooling infrastructure at a portfolio level
- Experience with program-level reporting and analytics tools (e.g., Power BI)
- PMP, CCM, or equivalent credential
- Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field; advanced degree a plus
