Senior Project Manager - Mission Critical

Silicon Valley was one of the first places data centers took off, and the South Bay around Milpitas is still packed with expansions, retrofits and new high-density builds. A respected general contractor is looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead mission-critical work here. If you enjoy technically tough projects, tight urban sites and a team that genuinely looks out for each other, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Lead data center projects from preconstruction and buyout through commissioning, energization and owner turnover
• Own budgets, forecasts, contracts, change orders and monthly billing, and keep the financial picture clear for everyone
• Serve as the go-to partner for colocation and hyperscale owners, design teams and electrical and mechanical trade partners
• Plan and track long-lead equipment like switchgear, generators, UPS systems and cooling plants
• Partner with superintendents on safety, quality, site logistics and integrated systems testing
• Mentor project managers, project engineers and assistant PMs as they grow their careers

What You Bring

• Senior-level project management experience on commercial construction, including data center or mission-critical work (required)
• Strong understanding of critical power, cooling, MEP coordination and the commissioning process
• A track record of delivering complex projects safely, on schedule and on budget
• Friendly, straightforward communication and a talent for building trust with owners and field teams
• A degree in construction management, engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience

What We Offer

Salary range of $150,000–$200,000, plus bonus and benefits, a steady pipeline of mission-critical work across the Bay Area, and leadership that invests in your growth.
