What you’ll do
As Technical Project Manager at Giga, you’ll own the day-to-day execution of one or more data center projects from design kickoff through construction close-out. You’re the person who keeps every ball in the air tracking submittals, chasing RFIs, coordinating A&E vendors, and making sure the schedule reflects reality. You’ll work directly under a Technical Program Manager and have clear ownership of your projects while operating inside a larger program structure. This is a role for someone who’s done the work before and wants to do it faster, at higher stakes, on infrastructure that actually matters.
Where you’ll work
We are an in-office culture, velocity matters when you’re building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is based at GigaEnergy HQ with regular travel to active construction sites across the US.
That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent. If you’re the right person for this role, we’ll have a conversation about what works.
