Project Manager (Construction)

Insight Global • Pelzer, SC • 2h ago

Job Description

The Project Manager is responsible for the day-to-day execution of complex data center construction projects, with a strong focus on electrical and mechanical systems. This role is hands-on and detail-oriented, operating closer to the field and technical scope than a Program Manager.

The ideal candidate has 5-10 years of experience in construction, EPC, or manufacturing environments, brings an electrical/mechanical mindset, and is a strong communicator who can lead teams, remove obstacles, and deliver results.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the daily execution of data center construction projects from mobilization through commissioning and closeout

Manage and coordinate electrical and mechanical scopes, including power distribution, generators, UPS systems, cooling infrastructure, and controls

Drive project schedules, short-interval planning, and milestone completion

Actively manage subcontractors and vendors, ensuring scope alignment, productivity, and quality

Identify issues early and drive resolution, escalating when necessary while keeping projects moving forward

Partner with Program Managers, Superintendents, Engineers, and Owners to align strategy with execution

Lead project meetings, maintain clear communication, and ensure accountability across all stakeholders

Track costs, manage change orders, and support forecasting and reporting

Review drawings, specifications, RFIs, and submittals with a constructability and execution mindset

Ensure safety, compliance, and quality standards are met at all times

Support testing, commissioning, and turnover of mission-critical systems
