You will run a crew of 15 to 20 technicians in a live hyperscale environment, and you will be the person the client sees, the schedule depends on, and the crew looks to. We are looking for someone with a proven track record on hyperscale builds specifically - not commercial work that scaled up, but data center work where you have already learned what an outage costs, what a client walkthrough feels like, and why the paperwork matters as much as the pipe. The right candidate runs the work rather than reacting to it: identifies scope before it is handed to them, documents it, prices the material, sits in the scope meeting, and comes out of it with a plan the crew can execute Monday morning. CORE RESPONSIBILITIESCrew Leadership ? Directly manage and schedule a crew of 15-20 technicians - journeymen, apprentices, and helpers ? Build daily and weekly work plans against the look-ahead; assign work by skill level and keep every hand productive ? Run toolbox talks, enforce safety standards, and hold the crew to the workmanship expectations of a hyperscale client ? Develop your people - identify who is ready for more, coach the ones who are struggling, and escalate honestly when someone is not working out ? Track and approve time, manage manpower loading against the budget, and flag overruns before they become a problem Scope Identification & Documentation ? Identify scope from drawings, specifications, walkdowns, and field conditions - including scope that is not clearly assigned ? Write clear, defensible scope documents that define what is included, what is excluded, and what assumptions were made ? Recognize out-of-scope and changed work in the field and document it immediately with photos, quantities, and hours ? Support change order and T&M ticket development with accurate field data ? Generate and track RFIs on drawing conflicts and constructability issues rather than installing something you know is wrong Material Management & Procurement Support ? Identify required materials from drawings and specifications - correct manufacturer, part number, and quantity ? Build accurate material takeoffs and bills of material for purchasing ? Manage lead times and long-lead items; escalate procurement risk to the PM before it hits the schedule ? Coordinate deliveries, staging, laydown, and on-site material control; minimize waste and shrinkage ? Verify received material against the submittal and the order before it goes to the floor Client Interface ? Represent ATMS professionally in front of the client, the general contractor, and the trades on a daily basis ? Attend and contribute in scope meetings, coordination meetings, and progress reviews ? Communicate constraints, risks, and schedule impacts clearly and early - no surprises ? Lead client walkthroughs of completed work and respond to punch items promptly ? Understand that on a hyperscale campus, our conduct and our workmanship are how the next contract gets won Quality Assurance & Quality Control ? Working knowledge of the QA/QC process - inspection and test plans, hold points, checklists, and turnover documentation ? Self-check crew work against drawings and specifications before it is called complete ? Maintain labeling, torque documentation, test records, and as-built redlines current daily rather than reconstructed at the end ? Photograph and document work before it is concealed ? Support commissioning activities and deliver a clean, complete turnover package Problem Solving ? Think past the obvious answer - find the constructible solution when the drawing, the field condition, and the schedule do not agree ? Resequence work, reallocate crew, and adjust the plan to hold the schedule when conditions change ? Bring solutions to the PM and the client rather than only problems ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [ WeAreDevelopers LIVE - the weekly developer show with Chris Heilmann and Daniel Cranney](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1365-wearedevelopers-live-the-weekly-developer-show-with-chris-heilmann-and-daniel-cranney) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Azure-Well Architected Framework - designing mission critical workloads in practice](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1529-azure-well-architected-framework-designing-mission-critical-workloads-in-practice) - [AI Boss Deletes Emails with AI, Stopping Ageing & Battery Life Breakthrough - Kumar McMillan](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1820-ai-boss-deletes-emails-with-ai-stopping-ageing-battery-life-breakthrough-kumar-mcmillan) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event)
