US Data Center/Mission Critical Project Manager - Houston - Versys (Verified Systems)

Description

VERSYS (Verified Systems) is growing our team of experienced Mission Critical Project Managers for upcoming U.S. data center projects. If youve led power, controls, or cooling scopes in environments where uptime, documentation, coordination, and precision are non-negotiable, we want to hear from you.

This role is responsible for
project execution, cost, risk, and client outcomes from early planning through turnover and closeout.

What youll own

Youll lead Data Center and Advanced Technology projects, working closely with field leads, clients, vendors, and internal support teams. Key responsibilities include:

Project leadership & execution

• Lead overall project execution: scope, schedule, risk, quality, and stakeholder coordination
• Maintain a complete, detailed understanding of project scope and contract requirements
• Drive jobsite readiness, daily priorities, and constraint removal with field leadership
• Ensure a strong turnover process: documentation, punch/deficiency closure, and client handover support

Team leadership

• Lead and support project team members (project engineers, coordinators, and site leadership)
• Mentor, coach, and develop project engineers for fast-paced growth
• Set expectations, build morale, and create a high-accountability / high-support culture

Project controls & financial performance

• Own project controls: budgeting, forecasting, cost control, billings, collections, change management, and cash flow
• Deliver accurate monthly status reporting (schedule, cost, risks, and key milestones)
• Hold accountability for project completion, financial outcomes, critical success factors, and customer satisfaction

Planning & scheduling

• Lead planning and scheduling activities; coordinate sequencing across trades and vendors
• Manage schedule updates, look-aheads, and milestone tracking to keep teams aligned and moving

What makes this role different at VERSYS

Your time will be split between office coordination and site engagement; running daily priorities with field teams and subcontractors, walking the work, and staying closely aligned with clients, commissioning partners, and vendors to keep execution tight and communication clear. Youll own the rhythm of the project (schedule, cost, procurement, RFIs/submittals, QA/QC, and turnover documentation), and youll have the resources and authority to improve processes and implement proven systems that help teams perform at a higher level.
