As an Assistant Project Manager on a Data Center project, you’ll work closely with project leadership, field crews, clients, and trade partners to help keep work on schedule, support project controls, and contribute to successful project delivery in a fast-paced, highly coordinated environment.

Here, integrity, trust, and safety are always top of mind. Our work is exciting, every day is different, and data center projects often demand strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt quickly as priorities evolve. We’ll provide the training and support you need to build a strong career path at a dynamic, growing company that offers competitive pay and outstanding benefits.

At Interstates, our success starts with yours.
