  • Help define internal processes, tools, and best practices for future mission-critical construction
  • Eventually hire and manage a dedicated internal delivery team

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of construction experience, with at least 5+ in mission-critical/data center delivery

Compensation & Benefits:

  • $180,000–$220,000 base salary + annual performance bonus
