Soluna is on a mission to solve one of renewable energy's biggest challenges: wasted power. Our data centers convert excess solar, hydro, and wind energy into productive computational work, such as Bitcoin mining, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. By co-locating with renewable power sources, we bring demand directly to the source, helping power plants increase revenue while contributing more megawatts to the grid.

We are looking for a Construction Manager to join our world-class team.

The Construction Manager will serve as Soluna's on-the-ground owner of data center construction execution—responsible for driving each project from permit through energization, on time and on budget. This is a field-first role. The person in this seat lives at the intersection of schedule, quality, and cost, serving as the day-to-day accountability layer between Soluna's development leadership and its general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and commissioning teams.

Soluna is building a multi-site portfolio of renewable-powered AI and HPC data centers across the United States. The Construction Manager will be a critical delivery resource supporting the GM, Data Center Development and the broader infrastructure team—ensuring that the physical build program keeps pace with Soluna's contracted commitments and growth ambitions.

What You'll Do

• Serve as Soluna's owner's representative on active data center construction sites—managing day-to-day field operations, contractor coordination, and delivery accountability from mobilization through energization and commissioning handoff. 
• Own construction schedules across all active sites, maintaining detailed look-ahead plans, identifying critical path risks, and driving corrective action when milestones are at risk.
• Manage general contractors, specialty subcontractors (civil, structural, MEP, low-voltage, security), and commissioning agents—enforcing contract requirements, scope boundaries, and quality standards.
• Conduct regular site walks and field reviews to verify work-in-place quality, identify nonconformances, and ensure adherence to approved drawings, specifications, and AHJ requirements.
• Coordinate permitting, inspections, and AHJ approvals across all project phases—managing the approvals pipeline to avoid construction holds.
• Partner with the GM, Data Center Development and design teams to translate design intent into field execution, surfacing constructability issues early and driving resolution without impacting schedule.
• Manage RFI and submittal workflows—ensuring contractor requests and submittals are resolved on timelines that protect the construction schedule.
• Track construction costs against approved budgets, reviewing GC pay applications, change order requests, and procurement forecasts with rigor and discipline.
• Support commissioning planning and execution, coordinating with the technology and operations teams to ensure infrastructure is delivered ready for IT deployment.
• Maintain thorough project documentation including daily field reports, meeting minutes, photo logs, punch lists, and as-built records.
• Manage site safety programs in alignment with OSHA standards and Soluna's contractor safety requirements—enforcing a zero-tolerance culture on job sites.
• Support procurement of long-lead equipment and materials, working with the development and supply chain teams to de-risk delivery timelines.
• Provide regular status reporting to the GM, Data Center Development and senior leadership on schedule, budget, quality, and risk across all active construction programs.

What you need to get the job done

• 8+ years of construction management experience on mission-critical or large-scale infrastructure projects, with at least 3 years on data center, industrial, or high-voltage electrical facility construction.
• Direct experience managing general contractors and specialty subcontractors on projects in excess of $50M in total construction value; experience on $100M+ projects is strongly preferred.
• Deep working knowledge of data center MEP systems—including medium- and high-voltage electrical distribution, UPS, generators, cooling infrastructure (CRAC/CRAH, chillers, cooling towers), and low-voltage/structured cabling.
• Hands-on experience coordinating utility interconnection and commissioning activities on large-scale electrical facilities, including AHJ inspections and acceptance testing.
• Demonstrated fluency with construction scheduling tools (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project) and project management platforms (e.g., Procore, Autodesk Build, or equivalent).
• Ability to read and interpret civil, structural, architectural, and MEP construction documents—including single-line diagrams and basis of design specifications.
• Proven track record managing construction budgets, reviewing pay applications, and administering change order processes with discipline and transparency.
• Strong understanding of OSHA safety standards and proven ability to enforce a safe and accountable field culture.
• Willingness to travel up to 75% and to be based on or near active construction sites as programs demand.
• Engineering or construction management background preferred (e.g., BS/MS in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field).
• Experience on hyperscale, colocation, or AI/HPC data center construction programs is a significant differentiator.
