Sr. Construction Manager

Description
Job Summary
The Construction Manager will lead the planning, execution, and final commissioning of a project to retrofit an active bitcoin mining facility into a mission-critical data center.

MEP & Cooling Systems: Direct the redesign and installation of specialized cooling systems, such as Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units, to manage the distinct thermal output and airflow requirements of data center servers compared to mining rigs.
Network Infrastructure: Manage the procurement and installation of robust, high-speed network infrastructure, including fiber optic cabling and advanced switching equipment, to support enterprise data workloads.
Vendor & Contractor Management: Serve as the primary liaison with general contractors, subcontractors, designers, engineers, and vendors, managing contracts and evaluating performance.
Quality Assurance & Compliance: Enforce rigorous quality control standards and ensure all activities comply with relevant building codes and regulations, including Life Safety, NFPA, NEC, and OSHA guidelines.
Risk Management: Proactively identify project risks related to scope, schedule, cost, and safety, developing and implementing effective mitigation strategies.
Documentation & Reporting: Maintain thorough project documentation, including submittals and RFIs, and provide regular, data-driven status reports to leadership.
