About Overwatch Mission Critical
Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor services for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's a purpose.

Overview

• Lead Project Execution: Serve as the Team's on-site eyes and ears from pre-construction through testing and final handover, documenting daily progress and job-site activity so the team and A/E team can make timely decisions.
• Support Owner-Side Visibility: Attend and facilitate meetings with the General Contractor, design team, and local utilities to stay current on project status — without directing or managing their work. All contractor management remains with the GC; the Sr CM's role is observation and reporting, not oversight.
• Track Budgets & Schedules: Review General Contractor pay applications and change order requests for accuracy and completeness, and escalate anything outstanding (including change orders over 30 days old) to the team. Budget and schedule decisions are made by the team and the A/E team, not the Sr CM.
• Escalate Risk: Identify and immediately escalate potential risks — schedule, cost, safety, quality — to the team.

The Sr CM's top priority is surfacing issues fast and transparently, not resolving them independently.
Monitor Technical Systems: Track and document progress on MEP work, including power and cooling infrastructure, through daily logs and infrastructure trackers, flagging any concerns to the team.
Report Progress: Provide daily, unfiltered updates — logs, photos, and trackers — and participate in regular meetings with the team leadership and the design team to keep them fully and transparently informed of project health.

Work Environment
Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.

Reasonable Accommodation
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off. Relocation assistance is available to support candidates transitioning to the location.
