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 GW 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. How We Operate Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done. Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible. First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins. Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward. The Construction Team Examples of key problems the team is working on Put gigawatts in the ground, faster than anyone has. We're delivering one of the largest data center buildouts of its kind, with many sites running at once. Traditional construction management breaks at this scale, so we're building the model that replaces it. Throw out traditional construction and invent how gigawatts get built. Tons of tools, layers of process, and administrative drag don't get you there. You'll strip all of that out and win by solving the real problem and beating the goal, not by managing toward it. Productize the data center so we can build it a thousand times. You'll turn one-off construction into a repeatable, modular build, where the hundredth site goes up faster and cleaner than the first. That repeatability is the only way to reach the scale we're targeting. Role Scope Drive end-to-end delivery of utility-scale solar and BESS projects from development handoff through commercial operation, owning budget, schedule, scope, and risk across civil, electrical, substation, gen‑tie, and interconnection workstreams. Build and own integrated project schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning, and maintain the master schedule as the single source of truth from site mobilization through energization. Own project budgets, cash‑flow forecasts, and change‑order governance, report earned‑value KPIs weekly, and flag cost and schedule deviations with recovery options before they compound. Manage the full contract lifecycle: RFP, bid analysis, EPC and subcontractor award, PCO tracking, lender and interconnection reporting requirements, and close‑out. Drive mitigation on critical‑path and long‑lead risks including transformers, inverters, switchgear, BESS enclosures, and interconnection queue milestones, and act as the single point of accountability for all internal and external project stakeholders. Lead construction managers, field superintendents, and project engineers across concurrent solar sites, develop staffing plans, and run the weekly cadence of standups, reviews, and issue escalations. What We’re Looking For You’ve led project management on utility‑scale solar or solar‑plus‑storage projects from NTP through COD, delivered on budget, and can describe exactly where the schedule pressure came from and how you resolved it. You understand civil, structural, electrical, BESS, substation, and gen‑tie scopes well enough to catch scope gaps at bid time and hold EPC contractors to the contract during execution. You own budgets at the project level: you've run earned‑value tracking, managed owner‑controlled contingency, and governed change orders without losing commercial position. You manage interconnection milestones as a critical path item, and you've navigated CAISO, MISO, ERCOT, or PJM queue processes without letting them dictate your schedule. You communicate with enough precision that a lender, a landowner, and a field superintendent each get exactly what they need from the same status update, reframed for their context. You’ve built and scaled field‑based project teams across multiple concurrent sites, and the people you’ve led have gone on to run projects themselves. Bonus: PMI‑PMP or equivalent. BESS and substation construction. Multi‑state concurrent portfolio delivery. Lender reporting and project finance interface. 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. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options. We are committed to pay equity and transparency. Fluidstack is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
