Director of Data Center Construction & Engineering

Title: Owner’s Representative, Data Center Development & Construction (AI/HPC) Location: [Austin, TX area /On-Site] Reports To: [CTO / VP of Infrastructure] Job Type: Full-time The Opportunity: We are building the infrastructure that powers the future of Artificial Intelligence. We are seeking a seasoned Owner’s Representative to serve as the owner’s technical, commercial, and field-side advocate in the development of our flagship AI Inference Data Center, beginning with an initial ~7MW phase and expanding over time to a 50MW campus. This is not a standard colocation build, and this is not a traditional internal construction management role. This person will represent the owner’s interests from site master planning and permitting through design review, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operational handoff. The mandate of this role is straightforward: make sure the facility is designed and built correctly, economically, and to the performance standard required for high-density AI/HPC workloads. This person must be able to identify where cost is being padded, where systems are being overbuilt or underbuilt, where contractor assumptions do not match reality, and where technical or execution risk is being introduced. This facility is being designed for 100kW+ liquid-cooled racks, and direct-to-chip liquid cooling experience is strictly required. We are not looking for someone who is learning liquid cooling on our project. We need someone who already understands, in detail, how a high-density liquid-cooled data center should be designed, integrated, built, tested, and commissioned — and who can protect the owner from overpaying, overbuilding, or accepting poor execution. Key Responsibilities: Owner-Side Leadership & Governance - Act as the owner’s primary representative across planning, design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and turnover. - Protect the owner’s interests in scope, quality, schedule, commercial terms, and technical decision-making. -
