In the posting’s own words

You don't need a data center background. We care more about whether you have delivered complex industrial projects from the field and can get contractors and partners to act when you have no formal authority over them.

What it asks for · 8

  • Have spent years on active project sites in energy, power, heavy industrial, data center or similar environments, as an engineer, project manager, or construction or commissioning lead
  • Can read drawings, single-line diagrams, P&IDs, specifications and schedules well enough to see where they disagree with what's been installed
  • Can give specific examples of persuading contractors, vendors or partners who didn't report to you to change course
  • Hold your position under pressure, back it with evidence, deliver bad news early, and change your mind when the facts change
  • Have led structured failure investigations, using a method such as 5 Whys or 8D, and seen the corrective actions through
  • Write short, factual reports that a busy reader can act on
  • Treat safety as your own job, and will stop work that isn't safe
  • Have a degree in engineering, construction management or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Also a plus

  • Experience as an owner's representative overseeing an EPC or general contractor
  • Commissioning, startup or system turnover experience
  • Worked in LNG, refining, offshore, power generation, semiconductor or naval environments
  • An electrical, mechanical or civil, structural and architectural (CSA) engineering background
  • A PE license, PMP or OSHA 30 certification
  • Familiarity with tools such as Procore or Primavera P6

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched November 2, 2026 and last changed by Anthropic on October 30, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
