Senior, Project Manager - Onsite Power Delivery

About the Role

Rowan Digital Infrastructure is looking for a Project Manager – Onsite Power Delivery to lead the end-to-end planning, coordination, and delivery of on-site behind-the-meter (BTM) power infrastructure supporting large-scale data center developments across Rowan’s growing portfolio. This role oversees the delivery of onsite microgrid power plants that support our data center campuses using combinations of gas-fired turbines, reciprocal generators, BESS solutions, and related electrical infrastructure from early design through commissioning and energization.

The Project Manager serves as the primary point of integration between hyperscale customers, Rowan’s commercial and energy teams, engineering, equipment, construction contractors, commissioning partners, and Rowan operations. The PM ensures power infrastructure is delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and aligned with long-term operational requirements while proactively managing technical risk, long-lead equipment strategy, permitting, and interconnection milestones.

Travel: Ability to travel up to 50% for company gatherings and project sites.

Location: Can be based at site location or remote.
