We are seeking an experienced Construction Manager to oversee the fit-out of hyperscale data center white space within colocation environments. This role is responsible for managing all aspects of tenant fit-out construction, including coordination of trades, sequencing of work, quality control, and delivery of mission-critical infrastructure.

To support a fair, consistent, and high-quality hiring experience, some interviews may be recorded.
