Your work will directly impact the future of technology and the sustainable growth of the Internet. As an on-site representative for the owner, you will play a crucial role in assisting with cost, schedule, and quality management, while coordinating with construction vendors and contractors involved in multiple large-scale data center construction projects. Responsibilities: Act as the on-site “eyes and ears” of the owner to oversee, assess, report, and manage the safe delivery of data center construction projects. Serve as a virtual extension of the Owner’s Project Team, establishing a close relationship with the owner to understand project requirements, goals, and constraints. Bring best practices and innovative experience to facilitate efficiencies in design, construction, and operational transition processes. Comply with the owner’s standards for quality, cost structure, and on-time delivery.

Negotiate, resolve, and close out any outstanding change orders, quality issues, or disputes. Prepare and submit final project accounting and budget.

In-depth knowledge of commercial construction design, bidding, and execution. Cost management and forecasting knowledge. Strong organization, planning, and project management skills with the ability to prioritize tasks. Strong interpersonal skills, including written and oral communication skills. Demonstrated ability to influence decisions through effective verbal and written communication, logical reasoning, and presentation of options. Comfortable with financial details and able to connect them to the big picture and communicate the story behind the numbers. Ability to work with diverse cross-functional teams and present findings to senior management. Physical Requirements and Work Environment This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions. The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized. Physical Requirements: Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain. Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis. Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces. Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors. Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required. Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity. Work Environment: Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties. Reasonable Accommodation: Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.
