Owner's Representative Construction Manager (ORCM)
Role Summary The Owner's Representative Construction Manager (ORCM) is the primary field representative for the Owner's team, directly responsible for the on-site execution and delivery of Data Center buildings. Reporting to the Owner’s Representative / Project Manager (ORPM), the ORCM ensures the General Contractor (GC) achieves excellence in field productivity, schedule adherence, quality, and safety. This critical role drives the pace of field work, proactively resolves site-level issues before they impact project milestones, and provides the ORPM with accurate, data-driven updates on construction progress. The ORCM will focus on the tactical, day-to-day management of mass grading, core & shell, and the high-volume fit-out of mission-critical infrastructure required for Hyper-Scale Data Center campuses.
What You'll Do:
As the Owner's Representative Construction Manager, you will embody field leadership, driving a culture of accountability, proactivity, and relentless focus on project goals directly with the GC and trade partners. You will bring deep construction expertise to the field, ensuring work is installed correctly the first time, in accordance with design, and meets the highest standards of quality. Your management approach will be data-driven, focusing on tracking daily and weekly field productivity to provide objective progress measurements and identify performance deviations early. You will "walk the work" daily to anticipate and resolve conflicts, logistical bottlenecks, and construction challenges at the field level before they escalate into schedule delays or cost impacts.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Overall Field Management
- Supervise the GC’s daily on-site activities, including management of all subcontractors, staffing plans, and the efficient use of labor, materials, and equipment.
- Ensure the GC effectively coordinates all trade activities on site, resolving conflicts between adjacent work packages to maintain a smooth flow of work.
- Provide the ORPM with field-level validation of GC progress reports, schedule updates, and payment applications to ensure they accurately reflect the work completed.
- Identify immediate and near-term risks in the field (e.g., weather impacts, stacking of trades, material shortages) and communicate them to the ORPM with proposed mitigation steps.
- Champion a world-class safety culture through daily safety walks, active participation in the GC’s safety program, and ensuring behavioral-based safety is a priority for every worker in the field.
- Schedule & Productivity Management
- Monitor and verify construction progress against the GC's P6 schedule daily, walking the site to ensure activities are starting and finishing as planned.
- Implement and track weekly labor-unit and installed-quantity metrics (e.g., linear feet of pipe/conduit, weld inches, cable pulls, device terminations), reporting these metrics and immediately escalating any deviations.
- Lead weekly work-plan reviews with the GC to scrutinize the 3-week look-ahead schedule, identify constraints, and ensure all necessary resources are aligned for success.
- Develop and implement recovery and acceleration plans with the GC when field progress deviates from the schedule, monitoring effectiveness and reporting results.
- Quality Management
- Conduct daily site inspections to ensure the quality of work meets or exceeds contract specifications and drawings.
- Document and track the resolution of all non-conforming work.
- Actively participate in first-in-place reviews for critical installations to establish the benchmark for quality.
- Coordinate with and monitor the activities of third-party testing agencies, ensuring all required material tests (soils, concrete, etc.) are performed correctly and results are communicated promptly.
- Reporting & Communication
- Provide daily and weekly reports to the ORPM and leadership team, including progress photos, safety observations, quality issues, and key productivity metrics, serving as the primary source of field information.
- Submit a comprehensive weekly metrics package to the ORPM detailing productivity vs. plan, progress against key schedule milestones, status of critical path activities, top 5 field-level risks/issues, and visual progress documentation.
- Attend all major project meetings (OAC, design coordination, etc.) prepared to provide clear, factual updates on field status and support the ORPM.
- Commissioning & Close-Out Support
- Drive the GC and trades to achieve mechanical completion by systems and areas, ensuring all components are installed, tested, and ready for startup.
- Collaborate with the GC and A/E team to conduct timely punch walks and aggressively manage the closure of all punch list items to prevent commissioning delays.
- Act as the on-site coordinator to ensure the GC provides necessary support (labor, access, equipment) for the Commissioning Agent (CX) to perform their work efficiently, from startup through integrated systems testing.
- Assist the ORPM and Owner’s Document Control Coordinator by ensuring the GC compiles and submits all required closeout documentation, including as-builts, O&Ms, and warranties.
What You'll Need:
- Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field with 8-10 years of construction management/superintendent experience is preferred. In lieu of a degree, a combination of 10+ years of relevant experience will be considered.
- Experience in constructing complex facilities including oil and gas facilities, nuclear and industrial projects, hospital facilities, and large complex commercial projects valued at $100M+.
- Experience in hyperscale data centers is preferred but not required.
- An innovative mentality to develop methods that go beyond existing solutions.
- Ability to solve unique problems using standard and innovative solutions that have a broad impact on the business.
- In-depth knowledge of the Google Suite of products (Google Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Calendar).
- Expert organizational skills with an advanced inquisitive mindset.
- Ability to calculate somewhat complex figures such as percentages, fractions, and other financial-related calculations.
