Position Overview

We are seeking a Project Management Consultant to support large-scale construction projects, with a strong preference for candidates who have data center experience.

This role is ideal for someone currently working as a Project Manager on complex builds who enjoys leading teams and driving real progress-but is ready to move beyond the day-to-day grind of RFIs and submittals into a more strategic, high-impact position.

You will work directly with project teams on-site to improve execution, enhance processes, and ensure accountability across stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and facilitate project meetings that drive alignment and decision-making
• Push conversations forward to create clear outcomes, ownership, and next steps
• Identify inefficiencies and partner with teams to improve construction management processes
• Work closely with general contractors and field teams to enhance project execution
• Track action items and hold teams accountable to deadlines and commitments
• Provide insight on project health, risks, and performance
• Act as a trusted resource to project leadership

Qualifications

• 3-8 years of construction experience, ideally in data centers or complex commercial/industrial projects
• Strong ability to run meetings, control conversations, and drive results
• Experience working with general contractors and cross-functional project teams
• High energy, positive attitude, and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to quickly assess situations and influence outcomes

Travel & Work Structure

• Travel to project sites approximately 3 weeks per month

• Typical schedule: Depart Tuesday, return Thursday evenings

• Remote work when not traveling

• Must be located near a major airport

Ideal Background

• Current Project Manager on data center or large-scale construction projects
• Someone who enjoys leading people and improving outcomes more than handling paperwork
• A professional who is burnt out on RFIs/submittals and wants to focus on driving execution
• Thrives in fast-paced environments and naturally takes ownership

Why This Role

• Opportunity to influence how projects are executed-not just manage them
• High visibility and impact across major construction projects
• Strong mix of on-site engagement and remote flexibility
• Fast-paced, team-oriented environment focused on results
