Pmp Project Manager Jobs in Spring, TX (NOW HIRING)

As Senior Technical Project Manager at Giga, you will own a major data center project or a cluster of related projects  end-to-end, from site feasibility through construction close-out and energization. You operate with a high degree of autonomy, reporting to the Technical Program Manager while functioning as the de facto project lead for everyone else: engineers, A&E consultants, GC, subcontractors, AHJs, and utilities. You set the schedule, you manage the vendors, you drive permitting, and you own the handoff to construction. You're also expected to help build the function developing playbooks, mentoring Technical Project Managers, and identifying gaps in how Giga runs projects before those gaps become problems.

We are an in-office culture, velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is based at GigaEnergy HQ with regular travel to active construction sites across the US.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
