[Remote] Data Center Deployment Project Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Fluidstack is focused on building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI, aiming to deliver compute power faster than anyone else. As a Data Center Deployment Project Manager, you will oversee the execution of data hall and AI/GPU cluster deployments, ensuring all projects are on schedule and operationally ready. The role involves coordinating across multiple teams and managing vendor accountability to deliver successful infrastructure projects.

Responsibilities

• Own deployment execution for assigned data halls and AI/GPU clusters, from commissioning readiness (L2/L3 Cx) through operational turnover
• Track and drive deployment milestones, critical-path tasks, and go/no-go criteria, keeping schedules and runbooks current and accurate
• Coordinate on-site activities spanning construction handover, infrastructure, ICT/low-voltage, CDU/DLC, hardware installation, and network bring-up
• Manage and hold accountable OEM/ODM vendors, integration contractors, and third-party service providers throughout active deployment
• Confirm commissioning and hardware-validation steps are completed and documented before handoff - burn-in, network validation, and GPU/TPU health checks
• Own a clean operational handoff: acceptance criteria, as-built documentation, runbooks, and turnover to the operations team
• Surface risks, blockers, and schedule slips early, and escalate with proposed options rather than problems alone
• Maintain clear program artifacts: schedules, task trackers, risk and issue logs, punch lists, and handoff checklists
• Provide regular, clear status updates on deployment health, risks, and milestones to program leads and stakeholders
• Collaborate with SMEs across networking, ICT, systems engineering, procurement, and operations - validating plans before executing, not in isolation
• Contribute to the SOPs, runbooks, and process improvements that make each subsequent deployment faster and more repeatable

Skills

• 3-5 years delivering data center, infrastructure, or large-scale hardware deployment projects - construction, commissioning, MEP, or IT/network deployment backgrounds are all welcome
• Working understanding of the data center delivery lifecycle and how construction handover, commissioning, and hardware/network deployment fit together
• Familiarity with commissioning levels (L2-L5) and what it takes to move a data hall from systems testing to deployment- and operations-ready
• Exposure to AI/GPU or high-density compute infrastructure - or a solid foundation in data center power, cooling, and networking with the drive to come up to speed quickly
• Demonstrated ability to own a project or workstream end to end: tracking milestones, managing dependencies, and driving tasks to completion
• Experience coordinating vendors, contractors, or cross-functional teams on active project or construction sites
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and evolving requirements in a fast-moving environment
• Strong organizational and communication skills - able to keep schedules, trackers, and stakeholders aligned
• Ownership mindset: you take initiative, fill gaps, and follow through to the outcome rather than waiting to be told
• Willing and able to travel to data center locations, sometimes on short notice (up to 50-60% travel during active deployments)
• Experience on hyperscale or AI/ML cluster deployments (B100/B200/H100-class or GPU clusters)
• Hands-on exposure to commissioning - CxA support, integrated systems testing (IST), or functional performance testing
• Familiarity with direct liquid cooling (DLC), CDU/sidecar, or immersion cooling
• Experience with high-performance networking (InfiniBand, RoCE) or structured cabling / ICT
• Proficiency with project tracking and workflow tools (Smartsheet, JIRA, MS Project, or similar)
• Familiarity with DCIM, BMS, or CMDB tools (NetBox, Sunbird, Nlyte, or similar)
• Exposure to long-lead procurement, logistics, or material coordination during deployment (receiving, cycle counting, site-to-site transfers)
• Experience contributing to SOPs, runbooks, or process documentation
• Relevant certifications, or active progress toward them: PMP or CAPM (Project Management Institute), DCD (Data Center Dynamics) - any track, CDCP (Certified Data Centre Professional) - EPI / GAQM, CDCPM / CDCMP (Uptime Institute / CNet Training), BICSI RCDD or DCDC (Data Center Design Consultant), ITIL Foundation - relevant to operational handoff and service management, Lean or Six Sigma - relevant to SOP development and process improvement

Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
