ABOUT FLUIDSTACK We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply! HOW WE OPERATE - Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role. - Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible. - Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins. - Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward. - Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world. THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM Examples of key problems the team is working on - Put gigawatts in the ground, faster than anyone has. We're delivering one of the largest data center buildouts of its kind, with many sites running at once. Traditional construction management breaks at this scale, so we're building the model that replaces it. - Throw out traditional construction and invent how gigawatts get built. Tons of tools, layers of process, and administrative drag don't get you there. You'll strip all of that out and win by solving the real problem and beating the goal, not by managing toward it. - Productize the data center so we can build it a thousand times. You'll turn one-off construction into a repeatable, modular build, where the hundredth site goes up faster and cleaner than the first. That repeatability is the only way to reach the scale we're targeting.   ROLE SCOPE - Lead pre-construction for large-scale GPU data center projects as we scale to multiple gigawatts, serving as the link between Real Estate, Design Engineering, Procurement, and Construction. - Run constructability reviews of electrical, mechanical, structural, and civil designs, with focus on high-density power distribution (100+ kW per rack), liquid cooling, and utility interconnections. - Perform site evaluations (electrical capacity, utilities, civil and structural, phasing) and determine site-specific requirements that impact schedule, cost, and delivery. - Develop construction scope packages and RFPs, manage GC pre-construction services (bid reviews, schedule development, labor pricing, subcontractor evaluations), and negotiate with landlords, developers, and contractors. - Run construction cost analysis from conceptual through GMP, support budget updates, and validate estimates against market and historical data. - Build comprehensive handoff packages for Construction Managers, and partner with Contracts, Legal, and Commercial on contract terms and risk allocation.   WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fluidstack/05c2e69c-42f9-4fcb-9cf0-a467aaf98f1c. - You've led pre-construction for large-scale data center, industrial, or mission-critical projects. - You run constructability reviews across electrical, mechanical, structural, and civil, with high-density power and liquid cooling in scope. - You perform site due diligence (geotechnical, utilities, zoning and permitting, logistics) and translate it into schedule and budget impact. - You develop scope packages and RFPs and manage GC pre-construction services and negotiations. - You run construction cost analysis from concept through GMP and keep estimates honest against the market. - You've built and scaled project teams across regions and time zones, align technical and commercial stakeholders under shared goals, and you'll travel 20-30% to sites. - Bonus: Hyperscale data center pre-construction. High-density power (100+ kW per rack) and liquid cooling. Modular or prefabricated delivery.   SALARY & BENEFITS - Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity). - Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms. - Health, dental, and vision insurance. - Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.   We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
