Overview: Take ownership of a facility retrofit from design decisions to customer handover. You will be the lead representative at your assigned site, working closely with engineering and construction partners to deliver the infrastructure behind liquid-cooled AI deployments. We are hiring two project managers, with one dedicated to each site.

Our client is building and operating the power, cooling and supporting infrastructure for high-density AI. This current program includes two facility retrofit projects supporting NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and Vera Rubin deployments. An independent voice in readiness decisions, access to specialist test resources, and influence from early design through operational handover.

Job DutiesValidate and maintain the site scope, customer interface register, milestone plan, critical path, look-ahead schedule and risk register. Review the prime’s staffing, sequencing, progress and recovery plans; verify physical progress rather than relying on reported percent complete. Run daily site coordination and weekly contractor reviews; route contractual instructions through the prime and record decisions. Coordinate live-site boundaries, equipment protection, dust/water controls, access, rigging and outage requests with Operations. Track RFIs, submittals and design releases; obtain Engineering Director decisions before technical deviations are implemented. Maintain commitments, change log and forecast at completion; substantiate payment applications and change requests for authorized approval. Coordinate long-lead deliveries, installation readiness, QA hold points, commissioning prerequisites and owner witness coverage. Lead punch-list closure and closeout collection; verify contractor training, as-built records and warranty deliverables before handover.

Requirements: 8 or more years managing MEP-intensive critical-facility projects, with accountable project delivery and operating-site retrofit experience. Proven ability to assess critical-path schedules, commercial changes, progress claims and forecast costs. Practical understanding of power, cooling, controls, construction logistics and commissioning interfaces. Construction/engineering-related degree or equivalent relevant project management experience.

Your impactFirst 30 days: validate scope boundaries, site conditions, contractor baseline and active-service protection plan. By day 60: operate an accurate forecast, change register, design action log and achievable look-ahead schedule. By day 90: demonstrate predictable field coordination and documented readiness for planned installation/test milestones.

Authority and collaboration Direct owner coordination and enforce approved requirements through the contracted prime. Recommend payment and change dispositions; authorize only what is expressly delegated. Operations controls live-system interventions, Engineering controls technical acceptability, and Commissioning controls test evidence.

Working Arrangements This role requires substantive on-site presence at assigned Maryland facilities and travel between sites. Planned off-hours participation may be needed during commissioning or live-system interventions, with coordinated backup coverage.
