Senior Project Controls Manager

The posting, as Crusoe wrote it

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

About This Role

Join our team as the Senior Project Controls Manager and take ownership of the cost and schedule integrity of every Engineered to Order (ETO) manufacturing program we run. You will build and enforce the baseline discipline that lets the PMO forecast credibly — a common WBS, a common schedule structure, a common cost taxonomy, and a reporting layer that ties production reality back to the numbers we quoted.

This is the analytical backbone of the PMO. You will not run projects; you will make the people who run projects measurably better at it. You'll own the estimate-to-baseline handoff, the cost-to-complete reporting layer, and the monthly program economics review that keeps both manufacturing sectors honest about where their programs actually stand.

The role is deliberately cross-sector. You'll work across Spark MDC, PDC buildings, low- and medium-voltage switchgear, and switchboard lines — and you will be the person who can say, with evidence, where a program actually stands. Your work directly impacts our ability to deploy infrastructure that computes from sustainable, renewable and/or stranded energy sources.

We are seeking a deeply analytical professional with a proven background in cost engineering, project controls, or manufacturing finance, and the credibility to hold project managers and operations leaders to a standard. This is a full-time position.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Baseline Standards and Governance: Establish and maintain PMO-wide standards for cost and schedule baselining, including a common WBS and cost code structure across both manufacturing sectors.
• Baseline Change Control Standard: Define the cross-sector standard for how a cost or schedule baseline may be revised — what triggers a re-baseline, who approves it, and how
