Description

As Senior Project Manager, Special Projects, you will independently coordinate and drive construction-focused data center projects and complex workstreams across remediation, retrofit, expansion, and infrastructure improvement programs. You will provide structured project leadership across schedules, risks, dependencies, documentation, stakeholder alignment, and operational readiness to ensure projects are delivered safely, predictably, and with clear accountability.

You will partner closely with project managers, construction managers, engineering teams, commissioning partners, site operations, procurement, vendors, contractors, and technical SMEs. At this level, you are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, anticipate project risks, resolve coordination challenges, influence cross-functional stakeholders, and establish scalable project controls and execution practices across multiple concurrent initiatives.

Key Responsibilities 

  • Independently coordinate complex Special Projects construction activities across multiple sites, projects, or interconnected workstreams.
  • Own and maintain integrated project controls, including schedules, milestone plans, action registers, risk and issue logs, decision logs, dependency tracking, and project documentation repositories.
  • Drive cross-functional project cadence, including planning sessions, readiness reviews, technical coordination meetings, risk reviews, and executive or leadership status updates.
  • Identify schedule, scope, dependency, resource, procurement, commissioning, and operational-readiness risks and drive mitigation plans with accountable stakeholders.
  • Coordinate critical project deliverables including submittals, RFIs, closeout documentation, commissioning evidence, punch lists, turnover requirements, as-builts, warranties, and operational handoff packages.
  • Lead readiness tracking across Construction, Engineering, Operations, Commissioning, Procurement, vendors, and other technical stakeholders to ensure prerequisites and dependencies are resolved before key milestones.
  • Develop clear, concise project reporting that communicates milestone health, schedule exposure, critical risks, decisions required, blockers, dependencies, and recovery actions to project and senior leadership.
  • Drive accountability for open actions by establishing clear owners, commitments, due dates, escalation paths, and closure criteria.
  • Coordinate procurement status, vendor dependencies, logistics, site access, material readiness, site visits, and other execution requirements that could affect project delivery.
  • Anticipate cross-functional conflicts and delivery risks, facilitate resolution, and escalate issues with clear impact assessments and recommended actions.
  • Ensure project records meet expectations for audit readiness, warranty management, asset onboarding, safety, commissioning, operational acceptance, and long-term documentation integrity.
  • Develop and improve standardized project controls, templates, reporting methods, meeting structures, dashboards, and documentation practices that can be adopted across the broader Special Projects organization.
  • Analyze recurring execution issues and project trends to identify systemic gaps and recommend improvements to processes, governance, planning, and delivery practices.
  • Support or mentor less-experienced project coordinators and team members in project controls, documentation standards, stakeholder management, and execution discipline.
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects and priorities with limited supervision while maintaining accurate reporting, timely escalation, and strong stakeholder communication.
  • Reinforce safety, security, access-control, change-management, and active-site requirements throughout project planning and execution.
