Project Lead

Fluidstack Job Opportunity

Fluidstack exists to make humanity more free. 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. Fluidstack is singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. They acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are their key differentiators. They are looking for people who care deeply about this problem space.

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. They 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. They put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

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 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 and drive mitigation, and act as the single source of truth for internal leadership and external partners.
• Lead cross-functional delivery teams, develop staffing plans, and run standups, reviews, and retrospectives.
