A growing, forward-thinking construction firm is looking to add a Project Construction Manager with experience in data center construction and a knack for business development to their high-performing team. This is more than a typical construction management role—you’ll not only drive project execution but also help build relationships, identify new opportunities, and contribute to the strategic growth of the company. If you're entrepreneurial, client-focused, and skilled at leading complex construction projects, we want to talk to you.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead full-cycle management of data center construction projects—from pre-construction through final delivery.
• Drive project acquisition efforts by building and maintaining strong client relationships.
• Identify opportunities for new business through client engagement, market research, and partnerships.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to align project planning with business goals and growth strategy.
• Manage project timelines, budgets, and procurement while maintaining rigorous risk assessments.
• Coordinate with utilities, local regulators, and subcontractors to ensure smooth execution.
• Represent the company at industry events, pre-bid meetings, and community engagements.
• Oversee site development and ensure contractor performance aligns with quality and timeline standards.
• Create and maintain accurate documentation, reports, and progress updates.
• Ensure full compliance with all safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3–7 years of experience in construction/project management, preferably in the data center or infrastructure space.
• Demonstrated ability to foster client relationships and contribute to revenue growth.
• Understanding of business development processes in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry.
• Strong background in electrical systems, utility coordination, or infrastructure deployment.
• Ability to manage multiple large-scale projects across Iowa.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and negotiation skills.
• Proficiency in project management software (e.g., Procore, MS Project, Primavera).
• Willingness to travel locally for site visits and client meetings.

What’s Offered

• Involvement in industry-leading, high-impact projects.
• Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Comprehensive health insurance coverage.
