Senior Manager, Data Center Construction

As Senior Manager, Data Center Construction at Galaxy's Helios campus in Afton, TX, you are the accountable leader for construction of a large-scale data center building. You report to the VP, Campus Construction Manager and work alongside peer Senior Managers, each owning a building or scope with shared accountability for safety, schedule, cost, and quality. You own your building from preconstruction handoff through commissioning and turnover to operations, leading the on-site Galaxy team and contractor relationships that deliver it.

What you'll do

• Own data center facility delivery as the single point of accountability from GMP handoff through energization, Level 1-5 commissioning, integrated systems testing, and turnover to operations, driving the facility to its safety, schedule, cost, and quality commitments.
• Manage the building schedule, track progress against baseline, identify critical-path threats early, and direct recovery and mitigation plans before they affect milestones.
• Maintain a quantified risk register covering schedule, cost, supply chain, labor, weather, and trade-interface risks, and drive mitigation before exposure becomes impact.
• Set and enforce Galaxy's safety standards at the building level, partnering with Galaxy EHS and contractor safety leadership to sustain a zero-incident environment.
• Manage day-to-day and executive-level relationships with the general contractor and key trade partners, ensuring alignment on milestones, quality, safety, staffing, and commercial performance.
• Oversee pay applications, change orders, forecasts, and budget tracking under the GMP, enforce disciplined change management, and provide accurate cost reporting to campus and executive leadership.
• Own the facility's integrated cost, schedule, and cash flow forecast on a monthly cycle, validate GC-reported progress against independent percent-complete and earned value analysis, and give leadership a reliable view of capital deployment and funding requirements.
• Administer the GMP agreement and related owner contracts, including notices, allowances, buyout and savings, delay and impact claims, backcharges, retainage, and lien waivers.
• Work closely with Pre-Construction and the OFCI procurement and logistics teams to ensure owner-furnished equipment (UPS, generators, chillers, switchgear, and others) arrives, is set, and is installed without impacting the construction schedule.
• Coordinate with the serving utility, interconnect and substation teams, and Galaxy's power development group to align permanent power availability, energization sequencing, and test windows with construction and commissioning milestones.
• Partner with the on-site commissioning manager, 3rd party Cx agent, and operations teams to ensure systematic testing, closeout, and clean turnover of the building to operations.
• Serve as the construction lead for customer-facing delivery milestones, including ready-for-service dates, ensuring facility handoff meets contractual commitments and the customer's acceptance criteria.
• Enforce Galaxy's QA/QC standards on your building and escalate and resolve systemic quality issues with contractors and design partners.
• Work with peer Senior Managers and the VP to resolve cross-building conflicts in resources, laydown, site logistics, access, utilities, and sequencing.
• Apply Galaxy's modularization, prefabrication, and lean delivery initiatives on your building, and capture lessons learned so each building is more repeatable than the last.
• Work with local authorities, inspectors, utilities, and consultants to ensure compliance with codes and permit requirements.
• Provide frequent, candid status updates to senior leadership and communicate building status, risks, and forecasts to internal stakeholders across Pre-Construction, Design Engineering, Operations, and Security.

What you bring

• A Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years of experience delivering large-scale mission-critical projects, with at least 3 years in a senior role leading a project or building team through construction.
• Demonstrated success delivering a data center or comparable mission-critical facility from start of construction through commissioning and turnover.
• Working knowledge of construction delivery models (including GMP), risk management, and contractor oversight.
• Technical fluency across MEP, commissioning, civil, and structural systems.
• Experience integrating OFCI equipment and supporting commissioning.
• Strong command of cost control, change management, and schedule analysis.
• Familiarity with Procore, Primavera P6, Bluebeam, and SharePoint.
• Full-time, on-site presence at Helios (Afton, TX).
• A track record of leading and developing high-performing construction teams.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence technical and executive stakeholders.
• Sound judgment under pressure and a bias toward early, honest escalation.
• A commitment to safety, quality, and executional excellence.
• A passion for building world-class infrastructure that supports the growth of the digital economy.
