Project Manager, AI
What you’ll do
Giga is building the electrical backbone of the AI era — transformers, switchgear, and modular data centers that power the world's most demanding compute deployments. We don't just sell into the infrastructure stack; we manufacture it, deploy it, and own the outcome. This is rare.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end project delivery for data center buildouts, from contract execution through commissioning and handoff
- Build and maintain detailed project schedules, milestone trackers, and budget logs across concurrent deployments
- Cook up daily across internal teams (engineering, procurement, finance, manufacturing) and external partners (EPCs, GCs, utilities, customers)
- Identify risks early, escalate fast, and drive resolution — not status updates
- Run structured project reviews with senior leadership, surfacing blockers and decision points clearly
- Hold vendors, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders accountable to commitments
- Build repeatable systems and processes that scale as our data center pipeline grows
- Produce concise, decision-ready documentation: project plans, risk registers, change logs, executive summaries
Requirements
- 4–8 years of project management experience in data centers, construction, energy infrastructure, or complex capital projects
- Demonstrated track record of delivering large-scale physical projects on schedule and within budget
- Strong command of project management fundamentals: scheduling (MS Project, Smartsheet, or equivalent), cost tracking, risk management, change control
- Experience managing cross-functional teams and external contractors without direct authority
- High ownership mentality — you close loops, you don't wait to be asked twice
- Clear, direct communicator comfortable presenting to C-suite and customer stakeholders
- Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving environments where the playbook is still being written
Bonus points
- Experience with modular or prefabricated data center deployments
- Familiarity with electrical infrastructure (transformers, switchgear, MV/LV systems)
- PMP, PE, or equivalent certification
- Background working directly with hyperscalers, neo-cloud customers, or colocation operators
Benefits
- Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
- Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
- 401(k) with 4% employer match
- Unlimited PTO
- Parental leave
- Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
- Commute benefits
Who we hire
We hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
