Senior Project Manager - Fit Out

About Overwatch Mission CriticalOverwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the national veterans business development council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's purpose.
Role OverviewThe team is seeking a high-caliber Senior Project Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of Hyperscale Data Halls. This is a tenant fit-out (TFO) leadership position requiring a "boots-on-the-ground" expert who specializes in the high-density environment of the white space. The ideal candidate brings a minimum of 15 years of construction experience, with a mastery of modular construction and large-scale MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) integration. You will be responsible for the financial health and technical precision of multi-million dollar data hall builds where "zero-fail" execution is the standard.
Key Responsibilities1. Data Hall & Modular Construction Leadership

• Modular Execution: Lead the installation and integration of modular data center components, ensuring a minimum of 2 years of direct experience in modular/pre-fabricated construction techniques.
• Data Hall Specialist: Oversee the specialized fit-out of the Data Hall, including the deployment of structural ceilings, cold/hot aisle containment, and high-density rack configurations.
• Mission-Critical MEP: Manage the complex electrical and mechanical "cut-ins," serving as the technical authority on high-voltage power paths and advanced cooling loops (liquid and air-cooled).

2. Financial & Risk Governance

• Large-Scale Financial Oversight: Manage the full financial lifecycle of the project, including multi-million dollar budget tracking, cost-to-complete forecasting, and complex SOW management.
• Procurement Strategy: Lead the procurement of long-lead technical equipment, ensuring that vendor delivery aligns perfectly with the construction critical path to avoid costly standby time.
• RAID Management: Maintain meticulous RAID logs (Risks, Actions, Issues, Dependencies) with a hyper-focus on detail to prevent budget creep or schedule slippage.

3. Technical Liaison & Field Engineering

• Engineering Authority: Act as the primary bridge between design and the field. While a degree is preferred, you must demonstrate expert-level applicable knowledge in electrical and mechanical engineering to challenge assumptions and resolve onsite technical hurdles.
• Stakeholder Diplomacy: Serve as the lead point of contact for hyperscale tenants, ensuring their technical requirements are met without compromising the base building's integrity or timeline.

Required Qualifications

• Construction Tenure: Minimum of 15 years in heavy construction project management.
• Data Center Expertise: At least 7 years of dedicated experience in Mission Critical/Data Center environments (this is a hard requirement).
• Modular Background: Minimum of 2 years specifically managing modular data center builds or component integration.
• Technical Depth: Demonstrated field experience in MEP engineering; ability to interpret complex electrical one-lines and mechanical P&IDs is essential.
• Detail Orientation: Proven track record of managing "highly detailed" projects where precision is the difference between uptime and a catastrophic failure.

Software & Certifications

• Expert proficiency in Procore, Primavera P6, or Microsoft Project.
• PMP or CCM certification is highly preferred but may be waived for candidates with exceptional field tenure.

Driver’s License Requirement:For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.
Communication Skills:Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.
