The Opportunity
We’re hiring a Field Operations Manager to lead on‑site operations for a transformative multi‑billion‑dollar data center project. Acting as General Contractor, Developer, and Owner’s Representative, this firm is orchestrating a mission‑critical ground‑up build that demands precision, safety, and innovation. You’ll oversee field execution from site prep to commissioning, managing teams, subs, and logistics in a high‑stakes, tech‑driven environment. Perfect for autonomous field experts with 5+ years leading large‑scale industrial sites—take charge of a landmark project, drive excellence, and make a lasting impact with direct decision‑maker access. What You’ll Do
Lead daily site execution, coordinating with superintendents, subcontractors, labor, and stakeholders from preconstruction through closeout. Manage logistics, including site setup, equipment deployment, material deliveries, and critical infrastructure (power, cooling, networking). Enforce stringent safety standards and compliance with codes, permits, environmental regulations, and data center redundancies. Conduct site inspections, toolbox talks, and progress reviews to keep schedules on track and resolve issues proactively. Oversee commissioning, testing, and handover, ensuring operational readiness with zero downtime. Act as the primary field liaison for owners, developers, subs, and vendors; host weekly site meetings to align stakeholders. Mentor assistant supers, foremen, and field crews; foster collaborative, high‑performing teams. Manage subcontractor performance, scope adherence, and on‑site coordination to meet milestones. Risk Mitigation & Operational Excellence
Identify and address field risks early (e.g., supply chain, tech integration, weather), collaborating with PMs and design teams. Support scheduling with 3‑week lookaheads, critical path tracking, and variance reporting. Maintain detailed documentation in construction management software (daily logs, RFIs, progress photos, safety reports). Project‑Specific Focus
Oversee data center‑specific elements like raised flooring, advanced HVAC, electrical redundancies, and sustainable features. Align field efforts with GC, developer, and owner’s rep goals to optimize cost, timeline, and quality on this multi‑billion‑dollar build. What You’ll Bring
Bachelor’s in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field—or equivalent field experience. 5+ years in field operations/superintendent roles on industrial/commercial projects ($100M+); data center or mission‑critical experience preferred. Expertise in site safety, logistics, MEP systems, BIM coordination, and subcontractor management. Proven ability to deliver complex projects on time/budget in fast‑paced settings. Strong communicator with a team‑oriented mindset; skilled in mentoring diverse crews. Proficient in field tools/software (Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project); knowledge of data center standards (Uptime Institute tiers). Competitive Compensation: Top‑tier salary, performance bonuses, and project incentives benchmarked to national markets. Financial Security: 401(k) matching; potential profit‑sharing in a growth‑driven firm. Time Off: Generous PTO, holidays, and field‑friendly flexibility. Growth & Culture: Mentorship, professional development, and leadership on high‑profile projects in an inclusive, team‑focused environment. Let’s Build the Future!
