Data Center Construction Manager - Relocation Available

This is an onsite role in Stamford, TX.

• What You’ll Do:
• The Construction Manager will be the primary on-site leader for the Owner, driving a culture of accountability, proactivity, and relentless focus on project goals directly with the GC and trade partners.
• The Construction Manager will bring deep construction expertise to the field, ensuring that work is installed correctly the first time, in accordance with the design, and meets the highest standards of quality.
• The Construction Manager will manage by metric, focusing on tracking daily and weekly field productivity (e.g., labor units, installed quantities) to provide an objective measure of progress and to identify performance deviations early.
• The Construction Manager will "walk the work" daily to anticipate and resolve conflicts, logistical bottlenecks, and construction challenges at the field level before they escalate into schedule delays or cost impacts.
• Supervise the GC’s daily on-site activities, including management of all subcontractors, staffing plans, and the efficient use of labor, materials, and equipment.
• Provide daily and weekly reports to the Owner’s Representative Project Manager (ORPM) and google leadership team, including progress photos, safety observations, quality issues, and key productivity metrics. Serve as the primary source of field information for the ORPM's and Owners executive-level reporting.
• Ensure the GC effectively coordinates all trade activities on site, resolving conflicts between adjacent work packages to maintain a smooth flow of work.
• Provide the ORPM with field-level validation of GC progress reports, schedule updates, and payment applications to ensure they accurately reflect the work completed on site.
• Identify immediate and near-term risks in the field (e.g., weather impacts, stacking of trades, material shortages) and communicate them to the ORPM with proposed mitigation steps.
• Champion a world-class safety culture on site through daily safety walks, active participation in the GC’s safety program, and ensuring behavioral-based safety is a priority for every worker in the field.
• Monitor and verify construction progress against the GC's P6 schedule on a daily basis, walking the site to ensure activities are starting and finishing as planned.
• Implement and track weekly labor-unit and installed-quantity metrics (e.g., linear feet of pipe/conduit, weld inches, cable pulls, device terminations). Report these metrics to the ORPM and immediately escalate any deviations from the plan.
• Lead weekly work-plan reviews with the GC to scrutinize the 3-week look-ahead schedule, identifying constraints and ensuring all necessary resources (labor, material, equipment) are aligned for success.
• When field progress deviates from the schedule, work directly with the GC to develop and implement recovery and acceleration plans, monitoring their effectiveness and reporting results to the ORPM.
• Conduct daily site inspections to ensure the quality of work meets or exceeds contract specifications and drawings. Document and track the resolution of all non-conforming work.
• Actively participate in first-in-place reviews for critical installations to establish the benchmark for quality across the project.
• Coordinate with and monitor the activities of the third-party testing agency, ensuring all required material tests (soils, concrete, etc.) are performed correctly and results are communicated promptly.
• Provide a concise daily report to the ORPM summarizing key work activities completed, major issues encountered, safety incidents, and labor counts.
• Submit a weekly report to the ORPM
• Attend all major project meetings (OAC, design coordination, etc.) prepared to provide clear, factual updates on field status and to support the ORPM.
• Drive the GC and trades to achieve mechanical completion by systems and areas, ensuring all components are installed, tested, and ready for startup.
• Work alongside the GC and A/E team to conduct timely punch walks, and aggressively manage the closure of all punch list items to ensure they do not delay commissioning activities.
• Act as the on-site coordinator to ensure the GC provides the necessary support (labor, access, equipment) for the Commissioning Agent (CX) to perform their work efficiently, from startup through integrated systems testing.
• In the field, assist the ORPM and Owner’s Document Control Coordinator by ensuring the GC is compiling and submitting all required closeout documentation, including as-builts, O&Ms, and warranties.
• Apply advanced knowledge to seek and develop new, better methods for accomplishing both individual and department objectives.
• Coach others to develop in-depth knowledge and expertise in most or all areas within the function.
• Lead by example and model behaviors that are consistent with CBRE RISE values. Anticipates potential objections and persuades others, often at senior levels and of divergent interest, to adopt a different point of view.
• Work is guided by functional policies which impact the design of procedures and policies.
• Contribute to new products, processes, standards, and/or operational plans in support of achieving functional goals.
• Communicate difficult and complex ideas with the ability to influence.

• Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management, Engineering or related fields with 8-10 years of construction experience are preferred. In lieu of a degree, a combination of 10+ years of experience will be considered.
• Experience in constructing complex facilities including oil and gas facilities, nuclear and industrial projects, hospital facilities, and large complex commercial projects valued at $100M+. • Experience in hyperscale data centers is preferred but not required.
• The innovative mentality to develop methods that go beyond existing solutions.
• Ability to solve unique problems using standard and innovative solutions having a broad impact on the business.
