About the role

The Construction Team at Fluidstack is responsible for driving the planning, budgeting, and risk-management engine behind global data centers. They translate capacity targets into executable project plans and keep every stakeholder aligned from kickoff to customer handover.

Responsibilities

• Drive the planning, budgeting, and risk-management engine behind global data centers, turning capacity targets into executable project plans and keeping every stakeholder aligned from kickoff to customer handover.
• Build integrated schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, and own the master construction schedule from site mobilization through substantial completion and turnover.
• Own project budgets, cash-flow forecasts, and change-order governance, and report earned-value KPIs weekly.
• Facilitate phase-gate and design reviews, maintain RACI matrices and action logs, and manage contract lifecycles: RFP, bid analysis, award, PCO tracking, and close-out.
• Identify critical-path and long-lead risks (transformers, chillers, switchgear) and drive mitigation, and act as the single source of truth for internal leadership and external partners.
• Lead cross-functional delivery teams (project managers, construction managers, superintendents), develop staffing plans, and run standups, reviews, and retrospectives.
