• As a Project Development Manager, you’ll lead complex AI infrastructure projects from executed agreements through construction readiness, helping transform strategic acquisitions into fully defined, development-ready data center projects.
• You’ll oversee integrated development roadmaps, budgets, schedules, milestones, and pre-construction risk management across multiple workstreams.
• The role brings together infrastructure planning, permitting, utilities, engineering, finance, legal, and delivery teams to keep projects progressing predictably.
• You’ll work closely with utility providers, municipalities, consultants, and development partners to validate executable plans and resolve risks before they affect construction.
