About the role

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, you will lead Crux AI's data center construction program with a delivery mandate that runs the full distance from bare earth to a turnkey, operable product, taking in tenant fit-out readiness and the supply chain for next-generation designs. You carry full accountability for getting capacity built on time, on budget, and to standard, across both greenfield builds and fit-out inside partner shells.

What they're looking for

  • Hyperscale multi-site delivery. Senior experience leading construction of hyperscale or AI data center capacity, with direct accountability for large-scale, multi-site delivery
  • Groundworks to turnkey. Track record delivering from groundworks through to a fully operable turnkey product including tenant fit-out
  • A repeatable delivery engine. Command of construction execution at pace, with the ability to build and sustain an engine that produces significant incremental capacity on a rolling basis
  • Contractor and supply chain leadership. Deep experience managing contractors and complex supply chains under demanding contract structures
  • AI data center realities. Genuine understanding of the multiple availability levels that shape design, redundancy, and cost, and familiarity with next-generation design standards and what they mean for construction and the supply chain
  • Cost and TCO fluency. Commercial command of cost management and total cost of ownership, with a clear view on where modern methods of construction genuinely reduce cost rather than simply adding margin
