Project Manager - Data Center Construction

The southwest Twin Cities metro has quietly turned into one of the Midwest's busiest data center corridors, with large hyperscale campuses taking shape around Shakopee and the Minnesota River valley. A respected general contractor is adding a Project Manager to help bring those buildings to life. If you enjoy complex, technical work and want a team that's down-to-earth and easy to work with, this could be a great fit.

What You'll Do

• Lead data center and mission-critical projects from early planning and buyout through commissioning and closeout
• Own budgets, cost reports, change orders and schedules, and keep everyone informed along the way
• Work closely with owners, design teams and electrical, mechanical and controls trade partners
• Plan around long-lead equipment like switchgear, generators and cooling units so the schedule stays on track
• Partner with superintendents on safety, quality and site logistics through Minnesota winters
• Coach and develop assistant project managers and project engineers

What You Bring

• Project management experience with a general contractor, including data center or mission-critical projects (required)
• Solid understanding of critical power, cooling systems, MEP coordination and integrated systems testing
• Strong cost control, scheduling and communication skills
• A friendly, organized approach that builds trust with owners and field teams
• A degree in construction management, engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience

What We Offer

$125,000–$170,000 plus bonus and benefits, a long runway of mission-critical work in the Twin Cities, and a team that invests in your growth.
