Field Construction Coordinator
About the Role
Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.
As Giga's Field Construction Coordinator, you'll be the connective tissue between planning and execution on our active construction sites. You'll spend your days in the field ensuring subcontractors have what they need, work is sequenced correctly, problems are resolved before they become delays, and information flows quickly between the office and the jobsite.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the day-to-day field coordination resource supporting Superintendents and Project Managers.
- Coordinate daily construction activities across multiple trades to maintain safe, efficient project execution.
- Walk the site throughout the day to monitor progress, identify conflicts, and proactively resolve field issues before they impact the schedule.
- Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, and equipment deliveries to maintain continuous workflow.
- Track installation progress against the project schedule and communicate potential impacts early.
- Verify work areas are ready before scheduled activities begin, including predecessor work completion, access, material availability, equipment readiness, and required inspections.
- Assist with planning and coordinating installation of modular data center skids, generators, transformers, switchgear, chillers, cable tray, structural steel, and other major equipment.
- Coordinate utility locates, concrete pours, crane activities, inspections, testing, commissioning support, and AHJ visits.
- Maintain daily field reports including photographs, manpower tracking, completed work quantities, weather conditions, and notable site activities.
- Track punch list items, field observations, RFIs, and action items through completion.
- Review construction drawings alongside field conditions and identify constructability concerns or coordination conflicts.
- Assist with maintaining project documentation including permits, inspection records, submittals, RFIs, and turnover documentation.
- Participate in daily planning meetings, subcontractor coordination meetings, and weekly scheduling reviews.
- Maintain close communication with Project Management, Superintendents, Safety, QA/QC, Procurement, Engineering, and Commissioning teams.
- Help develop standardized field coordination procedures, reporting templates, site logistics plans, and execution best practices that can be replicated across future Giga projects.
