Project Lead

Overview About Fluidstack. We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We are singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them—with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply. Role Scope Drive the planning, budgeting, and risk-management engine behind global data centers, turning capacity targets into executable project plans and keeping every stakeholder aligned from kickoff to customer handover. Build integrated schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, and own the master construction schedule from site mobilization through substantial completion and turnover. Own project budgets, cash-flow forecasts, and change-order governance, and report earned-value KPIs weekly. Facilitate phase-gate and design reviews, maintain RACI matrices and action logs, and manage contract lifecycles: RFP, bid analysis, award, PCO tracking, and close-out. Identify critical-path and long-lead risks (transformers, chillers, switchgear) and drive mitigation, acting as the single source of truth for internal leadership and external partners. Lead cross-functional delivery teams (project managers, construction managers, superintendents), develop staffing plans, and run standups, reviews, and retrospectives. What We're Looking For You've led project management on hyperscale data center, large industrial, or infrastructure builds, delivering fast-track projects across multiple geographies. You know civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical scopes, procurement workflows, and cost controls deeply. You're an expert with scheduling (P6, MS Project), cost (Procore, Ares, Excel), and collaboration tools (Smartsheet, Confluence). You communicate clearly in writing and in person, comfortable with executives and trades alike. You've built and scaled project teams across regions and time zones, align technical and commercial stakeholders under shared goals, and you'll travel 50%+ to active sites as projects require. Bonus: PMI-PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent; construction management qualification; multi-region fast-track delivery. Salary & Benefits Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity). Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms. Health, dental, and vision insurance. Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms. The base salary range for this position is $160,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
