Senior Project Manager - Data Centers
Location: Atlanta, GA
Industry: Data Centers / Mission Critical
Employer: Major General Contractor
A leading national general contractor is expanding its data center and mission‑critical division, and Atlanta is set to become a key growth hub in this strategy. To support this expansion, they are seeking a Senior Project Manager with the capability to not only run complex projects but also play a direct role in winning new work and strengthening client relationships in one of the most active data center markets in the country.
This is an opportunity for an experienced data center builder to join a trusted GC with a strong Southeast presence and help drive the next phase of their mission‑critical growth.
The Role
The Senior Project Manager will oversee large‑scale data center and mission‑critical projects from preconstruction through closeout, while also supporting business development efforts across the region. This position requires a blend of operational excellence, client‑facing presence, and commercial awareness.
You will act as a key leader in the Atlanta office, shaping the division's reputation, delivery standards, and pursuit strategies as the company expands its data center footprint.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead full lifecycle project management for large data center or mission‑critical builds
- Oversee project schedules, budgets, procurement, subcontractor coordination, and execution
- Serve as the primary client interface, ensuring alignment and exceptional delivery
- Support pursuit efforts, proposals, client meetings, and relationship development
- Partner with preconstruction teams to refine estimates, scopes, and delivery strategies
- Drive risk management, quality assurance, safety performance, and team leadership
- Help position the company to secure and deliver repeat business in the Atlanta market
What We're Looking For
- Minimum 5 years of data center project experience (required)
- Proven ability to manage mission‑critical or large‑scale technical construction projects
- Strong capability to win work, influence clients, and support pursuit strategies
- Excellent leadership, communication, and relationship‑building skills
- Ability to thrive within a high‑growth environment and help shape a regional expansion
- A builder's mindset with hands‑on execution and a commitment to excellence
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Join a major GC investing heavily in its data center and mission‑critical division
- Play a pivotal role in building out their presence in one of the fastest‑growing US markets
- Lead high‑visibility projects with major strategic value
- Strong internal support, resources, and growth opportunities
- Influence both project delivery and business development as the Atlanta hub grows
