Project Executive Data Centers - Atlanta

Job Title: Project Executive - Data Center Construction
Location: Atlanta, GA (Relocation Support Available)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Industry: Mission Critical / Hyperscale Data Centers / Construction

About the Company:
This is a rare opportunity to join one of the most respected builders in the world-an organization known for delivering complex, high-value projects across sectors including infrastructure, healthcare, life sciences, and commercial real estate. Now, they're expanding their footprint in the mission critical space, launching a dedicated data center construction division in the U.S.

With a secured $7B pipeline and multiple hyperscale data center builds kicking off in Atlanta, this is the first senior hire in a newly forming leadership team. The role offers the stability of a global powerhouse and the growth potential of a startup environment-ideal for a seasoned construction executive ready to make a lasting impact.

Role Overview:

As Project Executive, you'll lead the delivery of multiple ground-up data center projects across the Atlanta region, each valued at $1B+. You'll be responsible for full lifecycle oversight-from preconstruction through commissioning-while building and scaling high-performing teams and driving operational excellence.

This is a strategic leadership role with visibility across the business. You'll work closely with executive stakeholders, client teams, and internal leadership to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, and to the highest standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee delivery of multiple hyperscale data center construction sites in Atlanta.
• Manage full lifecycle of $1B+ ground-up builds, including preconstruction, execution, and handover.
• Lead internal teams, subcontractors, and client-side coordination across active sites.
• Drive safety, quality, schedule, and budget performance.
• Ensure compliance with mission critical standards and high-security protocols.
• Build and scale construction operations in a fast-growth environment.
• Represent the business in executive-level project reviews and strategic planning.
• Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and delivery excellence.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 10+ years of experience in large-scale commercial or mission critical construction.
• Proven success delivering hyperscale data center projects.
• Strong leadership and team-building capabilities.
• Deep understanding of high-availability infrastructure and secure environments.
• Ability to manage multiple active sites and complex stakeholder groups.
• Based in or willing to relocate to Atlanta, GA.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Global Reputation: Join a builder known for excellence across sectors and continents.
• Massive Pipeline: Step into a $7B secured pipeline with long-term visibility.
• Growth Opportunity: Be the first senior hire in a new data center division-shape its future.
• Marquee Projects: Lead some of the most ambitious hyperscale builds in the Southeast.
• Leadership Visibility: Operate at the highest level with direct access to executive decision-makers.
• Career Acceleration: Build your legacy in one of the fastest-growing sectors in construction.
