• Lead preconstruction efforts across multiple large-scale data center or infrastructure projects

• Partner with design, engineering, and construction teams to define project scope, sequencing, and execution strategy

• Develop and manage project budgets, cost estimates, and schedules during early project phases

• Establish and maintain a clear Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to align scope, cost, and schedule across all phases of the project

• Collaborate with General Contractors and trade partners to support bidding, value engineering, and constructability reviews

• Establish project controls frameworks that enable consistent tracking, reporting, and forecasting

• Support procurement planning, including long-lead equipment and Owner Furnished, Contractor Installed (OFCI) scopes

• Drive consistency and best practices across preconstruction workflows, tools, and documentation

• Partner with internal stakeholders to ensure alignment between design evolution and project execution plans

• Contribute to reporting and dashboards that provide visibility into project readiness and preconstruction performance

• 7+ years of experience in preconstruction, project controls, construction management, or related roles

• Experience supporting large-scale commercial, industrial, or data center construction projects

• Strong understanding of estimating, scheduling, and project planning principles

• Experience developing or working within Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and project coding frameworks

• Experience working with tools such as Procore, Primavera (P6 or OPC), or similar construction management platforms

• Ability to work cross-functionally with design, engineering, procurement, and construction teams

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

• Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment

• Familiarity with power infrastructure, mission-critical facilities, or modular construction is a plus
