Lead the Infrastructure That Supports Mission-Critical Construction

Delivering a hyperscale data center requires more than construction management and field execution. It requires a fully operational project campus capable of supporting thousands of workers, hundreds of vendors, extensive temporary infrastructure, and the daily logistics necessary to maintain safe and productive operations.

As an Operations Manager - Site Services, you will lead the planning, coordination, and execution of site support operations that enable successful project delivery. You will oversee temporary facilities, logistics, utility coordination, site services, access control infrastructure, transportation systems, maintenance programs, and other critical operational functions supporting large-scale mission-critical construction projects.
