About the Role:

Crusoe’s data‑center program is scaling to build out multiple 1 GW+ campuses while simultaneously integrating an ambitious energy-first approach to datacenter development and preparing the platform for institutional‑grade diligence standards.

You will be the operational right hand to our SVP of Data Center Operations—driving the cadence, tooling, and commercial guard‑rails that let site superintendents build at warp speed without blowing the budget.

We run at “Crusoe‑speed”—fast, candid, and allergic to bureaucracy. You’ll thrive here if you:

• Embrace ambiguity and turn complexity into Kanban.

• Value humor and grit as much as Gantt charts.

• Care more about objective truth than job titles.

• Believe climate‑aligned, AI‑first infrastructure can—and should—be built like a Japanese watch: precise, beautiful, uncompromising.

What You’ll Be Working On:

• Run the critical path – identify and drive mission critical meetings, deadlines, and initiatives

• Operational command‑center for every build – unify cost, schedule, risk and quality data into weekly reporting; publish a weekly one‑pager to senior leadership team.

• Codify how Crusoe builds – author playbooks, RACI/RAPID matrices, RCCA loops, and turnover packages so new campuses execute the same winning formula.

• Budget + change‑order sheriff – partner with Finance to catch scope creep, value‑engineer solutions, and keep variance < 5 %.

• Org-builder – diagnose talent gaps, architect the org chart, hire and coach high-leverage operators

• Safety & compliance champion – ensure standards and obligations are baked into daily work plans

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

• 6+ yrs working in operationally intensive industries, especially on mission‑critical EPC projects ≥ $250 M (hyperscale data centers, semi-conductor fabs, etc)

• Familiarity with scheduling & cost‑control tools

• Deep grasp of medium‑voltage gear, UPS, switchgear, and high‑density GPU loads—you can talk short‑circuit calcs and hot‑aisle containment in the same breath

• Track record building process from scratch in a blitz‑scale environment (start‑ups, rapid‑growth, or IPO readiness a plus)

• First‑principles thinker who writes board‑worthy memos and isn’t afraid to don PPE and walk a job site

• BS in Engineering, Construction Mgmt, or similar; MBA a plus
