Project Manager GigaBase Delivery
About the role
Build the delivery operation behind GigaBase. Giga Energy builds data centers. GigaBase is our modular data center product, manufactured in internal and partner factories in China and delivered to sites we develop in the United States. This role owns the execution plan for one site's modules from contract handoff through accepted delivery to the construction team. You will connect engineering, procurement, factories, freight and site readiness into one dependable plan. At any point, you should be able to explain what is ordered, what is being built, what is moving, what threatens the required date and which decision would change the outcome. You will build the tracking system and working rhythm as you deliver the first projects, then make them useful for the next site. This role is based in Houston, Texas, United States. You will work in the Houston office full-time, with bi‑weekly WFH Fridays. Travel to sites, factories and vendors is expected as project needs require. The work includes coordination across US and China time zones.
Responsibilities
- Turn the signed scope and engineering inputs into a complete module and long‑lead plan.
- Identify missing specifications and secure accountable owners before a gap becomes a late surprise.
- Build and maintain the integrated delivery schedule, working backward from site need dates through inspection, transit, production and purchase orders. Show dependencies, float and the effect of each change.
- Coordinate commitments with China product and procurement teams, factories, vendors and logistics partners. Keep actual status and supporting information current across the systems people use.
- Drive delivery decisions. Compare ship, hold and re‑sequence options with explicit schedule and cost consequences; obtain required engineering and quality approvals and escalate material trade‑offs with a recommendation.
- Control scope‑change impacts and delivery risks. Record what changed, who decides, the response owner and when the next decision is needed.
- Hand off complete delivery information to construction, including arrival sequence, inspection and acceptance status, open items and responsibility for resolving them.
- Build repeatable ways of working. Use AI to reduce manual reconciliation and preparation, verify its output, help define the order‑execution platform and document the process so another operator can run it.
Requirements
- Evidence of delivering engineered equipment, manufactured products or capital‑project packages with personal accountability for schedule and results.
- Ability to build and maintain a linked delivery schedule, including long‑lead procurement, manufacturing, inspection, freight, customs and site readiness.
- Experience coordinating overseas manufacturing or vendor teams and holding cross‑functional owners accountable without direct authority.
- Sound judgment on delivery trade‑offs, scope changes and escalation, with clear boundaries between project decisions and engineering approval.
- Ability to create a dependable tracking system, reconcile conflicting data and turn a first‑project process into something the next project can reuse.
- Effective daily use of AI for project work, with the ability to check outputs against source documents and explain where human review is required.
- Candidates often bring five or more years of relevant experience. We assess the scope you have owned and the results you can explain. You should be comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, seeking the facts that matter and following through across teams.
Qualifications
- The team uses one current delivery plan with visible owners and dependable inputs.
- Risks reach the right decision‑maker while there is still time to act.
- Changes are evaluated before commitments move.
- Construction receives modules and the information needed to accept them.
- Each completed project improves the next project's process.
Skills
- Data center, electrical equipment or modular infrastructure delivery.
