Reporting to the Project Director and taking day-to-day direction from a Senior Project Manager, the Project Manager provides the administrative backbone and on-site support for a data center building’s delivery. The role keeps project controls, documentation and reporting accurate and current, supports the Senior Project Managers’ trades and contracts in the field, and is the development path into Senior Project Manager. This is a role for someone who wants to master the discipline of project management – schedule, cost, risk, change, documentation and reporting – and who wants to learn a trade in the field under experienced Senior Project Managers. It is where IREN grows its next generation of trade owners. This is a field role. The Project Manager is on site daily with the construction, procurement and engineering teams for the building they support, and spends as much time as possible alongside them. With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way – responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in. Responsibilities Project controls and reporting Maintain schedule updates, budget tracking and cost-to-complete inputs for the building in coordination with project controls. Maintain accurate and timely resource records (labor, timesheets, materials, subcontractors) and records of work completed. Prepare weekly and monthly project reports to prescribed frequencies for Senior Project Manager and Project Director review, so that leadership receives one consistent, concise picture of risks, schedule and budget. Present project status, risks and recommendations in project control meetings and to the Project Director with clarity and confidence. Keep the building risk register current and track mitigation actions to closure. Documentation and scope administration Manage construction documentation storage and distribution so that contractor scope and obligations under each contract are clear to all project personnel. Maintain the RFI database, submittal logs, meeting minutes and action-item registers; drive turnaround within agreed days. Support design and constructability reviews through IFC by tracking review comments and close-out. Contract and procurement administration Prepare change-order packages with supporting documentation for Senior Project Manager approval. Review contractor pay applications against work completed and schedule of values. Support purchase-order and long-lead equipment tracking, including delivery dates against the schedule. Quality and handover administration Log non-conformances and defects, track rectification to closure and report status to the Senior Project Managers. Assemble handover manuals, as-built and commissioning documentation and project records for Operations handover and archive in accordance with company guidelines.
