Description

We’re hiring an Sydney-based Construction Manager to lead site execution of AI data center infrastructure construction across Sydney / Australia projects. You’ll drive day-to-day delivery in live or new-build data center environments, ensuring safe, compliant, high-quality execution across multiple contractors and specialist vendors.

This role focuses on disciplined control of site works, construction processes, quality, and readiness for commissioning and handover. The role requires an experienced IC4-level operator who can work independently, manage complex site dependencies, and provide strong construction leadership across critical infrastructure delivery.

Responsibilities

What you’ll do

- Lead on-site construction delivery for AI / high-density infrastructure, including base build and fit-out readiness, power, cooling, containment, and enabling works.
- Manage contractors and vendors across CSA/MEP, controls/BMS, fire, security, and specialist packages.
- Drive construction workflows, including RFIs, submittals, ITPs, inspections, NCRs, punch lists, progressive turnover, and closeout.
- Coordinate sequencing and interfaces across trades to protect milestones and remove constraints quickly.
- Own site readiness and logistics, including access control, permits, RAMS, workface planning, cleanliness, and controlled environments where required.
- Drive commissioning readiness with commissioning and operations teams, including test readiness, evidence packs, redlines/as-builts,



and turnover requirements.
- Maintain a solid reporting cadence, including daily/weekly progress, look-aheads, constraints, and escalation items.
- Support delivery continuity for Sydney / Australia projects by providing independent IC4-level construction ownership and execution discipline.

What we’re looking for — must-have

- Proven experience delivering data center construction and/or mission-critical infrastructure in a site leadership role.
- Strong understanding of MEP/critical systems construction and construction-to-commissioning handover.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple contractors in high-pressure, high-dependency environments.
- Strong QA/QC discipline and documentation capability, including ITPs, inspections, NCRs, and closeout.
- Competency with project/document platforms such as Aconex, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, SharePoint, or similar, plus solid MS Office skills.
- Must be based in Sydney, Australia.
- Ability to travel as required to support Sydney / Australia project delivery.

Nice to have

- High-density / AI-ready exposure, including tight power/cooling constraints, accelerated fit-outs, and compressed commissioning windows.
- Trade background or engineering/construction qualification.
- Safety leadership credentials.
- Prior experience supporting construction delivery across Australian data center or mission-critical infrastructure projects.
