Manager, Delivery

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manager to join Nscale as the senior manager for our colocation-based facilities overseeing mission-critical data center construction programs. This individual holds accountability for schedule, budget, quality, safety, and risk across all active project sites, and provides direct oversight to the General Construction Manager(s), Preconstruction Manager, Construction Scheduler, Cost Manager, and EHS Manager supporting the program.

The ideal candidate has led complex, multi-site or large single-site data center programs and can translate Nscale's strategic priorities into consistent execution standards across teams and project sites, while serving as the primary escalation point when issues exceed site-level authority.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide senior-level oversight of the overall construction program on behalf of Nscale, directly supervising the General Construction Manager(s), Preconstruction Manager, Construction Scheduler, Cost Manager, and EHS Manager
• Serve as the primary escalation point for schedule, cost, quality, and safety issues that exceed site-level authority
• Own the master program schedule and budget; report program status, risk, and financial performance directly to the Director and executive stakeholders
• Review and approve significant change orders, claims, and contract modifications prior to Nscale sign-off
• Chair OAC (Owner-Architect-Contractor) meetings and represent Nscale in key negotiations with General Contractors, design teams, and vendors
• Mentor and develop direct reports; establish and enforce consistent reporting standards, documentation practices, and quality expectations across all sites
• Preserve the independence of the program controls and safety functions, ensuring the Construction Scheduler, Cost Manager, and EHS Manager can escalate concerns without site-level interference
• Coordinate cross-project resources, staffing, and vendor allocation to meet program-wide priorities and deadlines
• Oversee commissioning, turnover, and closeout processes at the program level, ensuring consistency and completeness across sites
• Manage relationships with Nscale leadership, investors, and executive stakeholders; deliver periodic program-level updates and briefings
• Identify and mitigate program-level risks, including schedule slippage, cost overruns, supply chain disruptions, and resource conflicts
• Ensure compliance with contract terms, safety standards, and quality requirements across the full project portfolio
