Location: Remote (United States) with nationwide travel to active project sites

Position Title: Project Manager – Mission Critical / Data Center Projects

The Opportunity:
This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly autonomous Project Manager role supporting mission‑critical and data center projects across the United States. The individual in this role will be a key contributor to a rapidly expanding traveling projects division, executing complex work in new regions as the business continues to grow nationwide. Working in a rotational travel model, the Project Manager will directly impact project outcomes by owning execution from kickoff through closeout, coordinating field teams, and maintaining strong customer relationships—all without excessive oversight or micromanagement. This role is ideal for a results‑driven professional who thrives in fast‑paced environments, values trust and independence, and wants to be part of a team delivering high‑profile, technically demanding projects.

The Company:
This organization is a long‑established firm with decades of experience supporting complex technical and construction projects, particularly within the controls, electrical, and mission‑critical infrastructure space. The company is known for its deep industry expertise, strong leadership, and commitment to delivering real‑world execution on demanding projects. Continued investment in new divisions and geographic expansion creates long‑term growth opportunities for professionals who want to work on cutting‑edge projects while maintaining a predictable and sustainable work schedule.

The Boss:
The role reports directly to a hands‑on Construction Manager who has risen through the field and brings extensive real‑world experience to leadership. This leader values accountability, results, and clear communication while giving Project Managers the freedom to run their projects independently. The management style emphasizes trust, minimal micromanagement, and adaptability, with a strong focus on building satisfied, high‑performing teams across multiple regions.

The Position:
The Project Manager will manage multiple mission‑critical construction projects, primarily within data center and similar high‑expectation environments. The role operates on a rotational travel model, typically spending approximately two weeks per month onsite and the remainder working remotely. Project Managers partner closely with another PM, field technicians, subcontractors, and leadership to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, and within scope. When projects are not active onsite, the role remains fully remote.
