Construction Manager

Actalent • Herndon, VA • 15h ago

We're hiring a construction-focused professional to support the planning and delivery of large-scale, mission-critical data center projects across the U.S.

This is an owner-side role that sits at the intersection of construction management, pre-construction, and design oversight, ideal for candidates with hands-on experience delivering data center or other complex infrastructure projects.

This person will be responsible for the following deliverables

Pre-Design - Risk assessment, strategy alignment, RFP development, vendor selection

Design - Milestone reviews (30%, 60%, 90%, IFP, IFC), quality control, stakeholder coordination

Permitting - Strategy development, tracking, SLA monitoring

Pre-Construction - Transition documentation, IFC package coordination

Construction Admin - Weekly OAC meetings, RFI/submittal management, design change tracking

Closeout - Record documentation, lessons learned, offboarding

Program Management - Ongoing reporting, data management, KPI tracking (runs throughout all phases)

Support data center projects from early design strategy through construction and closeout

Participate in design milestone reviews, constructability assessments, and pre-construction handoff

Coordinate closely with contractors, architects, and engineers to ensure designs are buildable and execution stays on track

Support construction administration activities, including RFIs, submittals, design changes, and weekly coordination meetings

Help maintain design intent throughout construction while balancing schedule, cost, and risk

Contribute to reporting, tracking, and overall program execution for large capital projects

Travel expectations:

Candidates will be based out of the Seattle, Austin, or Herndon office

Travel will be to data center campuses in nearby or regional states (locations TBD)

Anticipated travel is approximately 7-8 site visits over a 12-month period, depending on project phase

Site visits are typically short-duration and aligned with major milestones

Ideal experience:

Experience in data center or mission-critical construction

Experience in construction management, pre-construction, design-assist, or owner's-rep roles

Comfort working on large, fast-paced capital projects

Experience supporting projects through construction, commissioning, and turnover

Strong communication and coordination skills across technical and non-technical teams

This role is a strong fit for professionals coming from mission-critical general contractors, owner's rep firms, EPCM organizations, or construction-focused design management backgrounds who want exposure to large, complex data center programs.
