The Project Manager manages day-to-day execution of a data center build across internal teams, EPC partners, and vendors, and is accountable for driving actions, risks, and deliverables to closure. The Program Director owns the outcome; the PM owns the machine that produces it - the operating cadence, the decision velocity, and the follow-through that keeps a hundred moving pieces converging on energization. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following: Execution Management Run the project’s operating rhythm: weekly execution meetings, action and decision logs, deliverable tracking across engineering, supply chain, construction, and commissioning. Clear blockers fast; when you escalate, bring the recommendation and the trade-offs, not just the problem. EPC Partner & Vendor Management Manage GC/EPC partners, consultants, and vendors against contracted scope, milestones, and quality. Run partner coordination meetings, hold deliverable schedules, manage submittal and RFI throughput jointly with engineering, and keep long-lead equipment (with supply chain) tied to the installation schedule. Scope, Risk & Change Support Guard scope: catch creep early and route it through the change process. Feed the risk register with emerging design, procurement, and field issues; own mitigation actions assigned to you; and support the Risk & Change Manager on entitlement and pricing reviews. Cost & Schedule Partnership Work daily with the Planner/Scheduler and Cost Controller: challenge progress claims, understand critical-path drivers, support forecasts and accrual inputs, and validate invoices against actual progress. Stakeholder Management & Reporting Produce sharp weekly project status for the Program Director and leadership - schedule health, top risks, decisions needed, and commitments made. Represent the project in utility, AHJ, customer, and Managed Services coordination as delegated. Commissioning & Turnover Drive Own the project-management side of the commissioning runway: Cx prerequisites, vendor technician scheduling, punch velocity, and turnover documentation completeness with the CXQC Field Manager.
