Technical Project Manager II

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 545,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. We are the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure, uniting communities through resilient, sustainable, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid. Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

• Own the integrated plan for each site build: scope, milestones, dependencies, critical path, and go-live criteria
• Break each site into repeatable workstreams (network core, compute, power, cooling, fiber and cabling, security, telemetry) and track them against the plan
• Run weekly cross-functional status meetings, maintain a single source of truth for schedule and risks, and produce clear status reports for leadership
• Identify schedule risks early, propose mitigations, and escalate decisions that need an owner
• Maintain a repeatable build playbook so that each new Pod or System is faster than the last

• Work with engineering and procurement to turn designs into bills of materials, review vendor quotes for completeness (optics, cabling, licenses, support), and track open quote gaps to closure
• Track orders, lead times, shipments, and receiving across multiple vendors, and flag long-lead items (switches, firewalls, optics, power and cooling equipment) at the start of each build
• Coordinate RMAs, substitutions, and re-quotes without losing the schedule
• Maintain an accurate inventory and delivery status for each site, including what is owned, ordered, and still missing

• Coordinate electrical, mechanical, and cooling work with facilities teams and contractors, including power feeds, PDUs, cooling distribution, and rack and cabinet readiness
• Schedule and run change windows, power-on events, and cutovers, with rollback plans and clear communication
• Track site readiness gates before equipment ships and before nodes are powered on
• Manage on-site logistics for installation crews and technicians, including access, safety requirements, and sequencing

• Manage circuit orders and turn-up with carriers, including demarc and handoff details, optics, BGP and IP-space requests, and install dates
• Track address-space and registry applications that have long lead times
• Manage vendor and contractor statements of work, deliverables, and acceptance
• Be the single point of contact for external parties on schedule and dependencies

• Define and track commissioning and acceptance criteria with engineering for each site
• Drive punch lists to closure and confirm that documentation, runbooks, labeling, and as-built records are delivered before handoff
• Coordinate the handoff of nodes and sites to operations and to customers or hosting partners, including credential, access, and onboarding checklists

• Maintain a risk and issue register for each site, ranked by impact on availability and schedule
• Apply change control to scope, schedule, and design changes, and communicate downstream impacts to cost, schedule, and other sites
• Track budget against plan for each build and flag variances early
• Document lessons learned after each build and feed them back into the playbook

• 5+ years of project management work
• 3-5 years of experience managing technical projects in data center, network, infrastructure, or construction environments
• Demonstrated experience delivering projects with multiple vendors, long-lead procurement, and fixed go-live dates
• Working technical fluency in networking and compute fundamentals (switches, firewalls, servers, optics and cabling, power and cooling) sufficient to challenge estimates and understand dependencies
• Experience building and maintaining project plans, risk registers, and status reporting using standard tools (for example, Jira, Smartsheet, MS Project, or similar)
• Experience reviewing vendor quotes, bills of materials, and statements of work
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work with engineers, executives, and external vendors
• Ability to prioritize across many concurrent workstreams and make clear decisions with incomplete information
• Comfort with change control and checklist-driven procedures
• Willingness to travel within Utah, with occasional travel to remote sites

• Experience on GPU or high-density compute deployments, or data center build-outs
• Familiarity with liquid cooling, high-density power distribution, or colocation and facility coordination
• Experience managing carrier circuit turn-ups and ISP or IP-address requests
• Familiarity with OT/ICS or energy infrastructure environments
• Experience with infrastructure automation or a technical background in systems or network engineering
• Experience with budget tracking and cost reporting on capital projects
• Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or similar)
• Experience with Jira or similar tools, including building dashboards from live data

• Constantly operates a computer and other peripheral office equipment such as a printer or mouse.
• Ability to communicate information so others can understand. Must be able to exchange accurate information in these situations.
• Must report to work reliably and with the ability to use full and unimpaired skills and judgment to safely execute your job.
• Proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English required.
• When on the production floor, ability to observe, detect and respond to audible and visual machine malfunction warnings.
• Ability to traverse uneven terrain during site surveys at construction and industrial sites, at times for extended periods.
• Ability to ascend stairs and ladders and navigate active construction areas. 
• Ability to wear required PPE at job sites and on the production floor, such as a hard hat/safety helmet, safety glasses, ear protection, high-visibility apparel, and protective footwear.
• Ability to lift up to 25 lbs occasionally.
• Ability to work outdoors in varying weather.
• Ability to work outside normal business hours for power-on events and cutovers.
• Ability to travel to Torus sites in Utah and occasionally to remote sites.
