Construction TPM

About the Role

Cerebras is building some of the most advanced AI systems on the planet. Behind that is a new class of data center—high-density, high-performance, and built at speed. We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive execution across engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). This is not a coordination role. This is an ownership role.

Responsibilities

• Own Delivery: Drive end-to-end Data Center Delivery execution across data center builds; own schedule, scope, and cross-functional alignment; ensure seamless execution from design to commissioning
• Control the Schedule: Build and manage integrated EPC schedules; drive critical path execution and recovery plans; lead weekly execution reviews with contractors and internal teams
• Connect the Dots: Align engineering, supply chain, construction, and commissioning; eliminate gaps between design intent and field execution; resolve technical interfaces (power, cooling, controls, network)
• Drive Procurement: Track long-lead equipment; ensure procurement stays ahead of construction; mitigate supply chain risks early
• Own Field Execution: Work directly with general contractors and trades; resolve RFIs and field issues; ensure execution matches design and schedule
• Deliver RFS: Coordinate commissioning across systems; drive readiness for Ready for Service (RFS); ensure sites are operational
• Manage Risk: Identify risks early and drive mitigation; maintain visibility into issues and blockers; step in and solve problems
• Communicate Clearly: Provide concise updates to leadership (build dashboards); escalate with solutions and trade-offs

Qualifications & Skills

• 8-15+ years in data center or mission-critical infrastructure delivery
• Experience in EPC or owner-side delivery
• Strong understanding of electrical and mechanical systems
• Proven ability to deliver on aggressive schedules
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity
• Strong field presence and technical depth
