Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor services for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's a purpose.

Interview Overview: Project Manager

This role is responsible for leading the successful execution of multiple electrical construction projects, specifically within the data center industry. The Project Manager acts as the central hub between clients, field leadership, and internal stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

Core Candidate Mission

The ideal candidate must be a high-ownership leader capable of simplifying complex construction lifecycles. They are expected to manage the full project lifecycle—from initial planning and resource allocation to final quality assurance and project closure—while maintaining long-standing client relationships.

Key Areas of Responsibility

Project Planning & Initiation: Developing comprehensive project plans, schedules, and budgets while conducting proactive risk assessments.
Technical Team Leadership: Building and leading diverse teams, including electricians, technicians, and subcontractors, while monitoring performance against objectives.
Operational Execution: Supervising site activities to ensure strict adherence to safety protocols, quality standards, and relevant electrical codes.
Resource & Vendor Management: Coordinating materials, equipment, and personnel procurement to ensure timely delivery of services.
Change & Quality Control: Efficiently handling scope adjustments and implementing rigorous quality control procedures to guarantee high workmanship standards.
Client Communication: Maintaining transparent, regular reporting to clients regarding project status, budget deviations, and final deliverables.

Critical Qualifications & Experience

Experience: 5+ years of recent experience specifically as a Project Manager in the electrical data center construction industry.
Education: A Bachelor’s degree in construction management or a related field is preferred.
Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of electrical systems, codes, and regulations.
Software Proficiency: Hands-on experience with industry-standard tools including Bluebeam, Procore, Accubid, and P6.
Safety Certifications: Demonstrated commitment to safety with NFPA 70E or OSHA certification.
Mobility: Ability to travel up to 10% and work frequently at outdoor construction sites.

Driver’s License Requirement:

For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.

Communication Skills:

Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.

Physical Requirements and Work Environment

This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.

The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.

Physical Requirements:

Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain.
Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis.
Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces.
Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors.
Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments.
Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required.
Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity.

Work Environment:

Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.

Reasonable Accommodation:

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.

Benefits:

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off. Relocation assistance is available to support candidates transitioning to the location.

OVERWATCH is committed to creating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. OVERWATCH considers candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.
