Job Description
CleanSpark is a data center developer operating in the energy and bitcoin infrastructure sector, managing a portfolio exceeding 1.8 GW across the United States. The organization is currently seeking a remote Project Controls Manager to oversee owner-side controls for its artificial intelligence data center portfolio.
This position will suit a professional with extensive experience in managing costs, schedules, changes, and risks for large-scale capital construction programs. Operating within the project management office, the individual will collaborate closely with various internal departments including finance, procurement, legal, commercial operations, and site teams. Responsibilities include defining governance standards, validating contractor and vendor deliverables, handling change orders, and providing executive leadership with accurate forecasts.
Candidates must possess a background in handling complex mission-critical infrastructure projects and have strong analytical and communication abilities. The role requires occasional travel to project sites and adherence to deadlines. CleanSpark maintains an equal opportunity employment policy and may utilize artificial intelligence tools during portions of the application review process to assist recruiters, though final hiring choices remain with human decision-makers.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement project-controls standards, reporting guidelines, and governance frameworks for the artificial intelligence data center portfolio
- Oversee financial aspects including approved budgets, actual expenditures, cash-flow projections, contingencies, and estimate-at-completion reports
- Collaborate with scheduling teams to align cost data, verify progress, and maintain consistent milestones
- Take part in commercial evaluations of vendor pay applications, change orders, and cost-to-complete documents
- Manage trend and change control processes to document scope adjustments and exposure risks
- Create and maintain portfolio risk registers, lead reviews, and follow up on mitigation actions
- Generate monthly, executive, and stage-gate reports outlining current performance and emerging risks
- Maintain information and data workflows within the project management system
- Assess contractor deliverables for compliance and escalate any material issues
- Preserve cost and change records to assist legal and project leadership with dispute analysis
- Lead internal and external project-controls resources and establish clear deliverables
Requirements
- Seven or more years of progressive project-controls experience supporting large capital construction programs such as data centers, power, utilities, or industrial facilities
- Proven background in cost control, forecasting, change management, risk management, progress measurement, and executive project reporting
- Experience participating in the commercial review of contractor pay applications and change orders
- Working knowledge of construction delivery models and contracts including design-build, guaranteed maximum price, and lump-sum structures
- Familiarity with project management information systems and related scheduling or cost tools
- Ability to travel to project sites when required and maintain insurability under the company vehicle insurance policy
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, finance, business, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience
- Owner-side project-controls experience supporting a multi-project or multi-site capital portfolio
- Experience working with hyperscale data centers or high-performance computing construction programs
- Background in establishing or improving a project-controls function and coordinating blended teams
- AACE certification such as Certified Cost Professional or Planning and Scheduling Professional, or a Project Management Professional credential
