As hyperscale load growth outpaces the capability of the legacy grid, Fermi is delivering behind the meter, utility scale power at a speed and density the incumbent market cannot match.\nProject Matador, our flagship development in Carson County, Texas, is planned to scale to approximately 17 GW of generation, comprising roughly 11 GW of natural gas, 5.4 GW of nuclear, and 600 MW of solar, supporting millions of square feet of high density data center infrastructure. This is not incremental infrastructure. It is sovereign scale energy development, executed on an owner led delivery model.\nPOSITION SUMMARY\nThe Construction Manager is Fermi America's owner representative in the field for an assigned construction area on Project Matador, within the Capital Projects organization that holds single point accountability for capital project delivery. The role is accountable for the day to day direction of the contractors executing that area, for the safe and productive delivery of the work, and for the owner interfaces that the contractors depend on to keep work fronts open: engineering deliverables, owner furnished equipment, laydown and logistics, permits, site access, and adjacent scopes.\nThis is a field leadership position. The Construction Manager is on the work daily, knows the status of every active work front without waiting for a report, and holds contractors to the Fermi America standard for safety, quality, schedule, and cost. The role represents the owner in field level commercial matters, including field change identification, documentation of contractor performance, and substantiation of positions that Project Controls, the Project Manager, and the Construction Director take forward.\nThis role sits on the owner side of the table. It is not a contractor coordination position and it is not a support function. The Construction Manager is expected to direct contractors, make field decisions within delegated authority, and defend them with facts.\nAssigned Areas\nFermi America is hiring several Construction Managers at this level. Each will be assigned one of the following areas, with the potential for reassignment as the campus phasing evolves. These seats sit alongside the existing Construction Managers for Power and for Electrical and HV.\nPower. Reports to the Construction Director, Site. Gas turbine generation blocks including simple cycle and combined cycle units, heat recovery steam generators, cooling systems, fuel gas conditioning, balance of plant, and the offload, laydown, and set of owner furnished major equipment. The current Construction Manager Power directs the Firebird SGT-800 and GE Frame 6B and TM2500 programs.\nSite Infrastructure. Reports to the Construction Director, Site. Site civil and earthwork, campus roads and drainage, water and wastewater systems, natural gas supply and metering infrastructure, temporary facilities, laydown yards, fencing and security infrastructure, and campus utilities serving generation and data center parcels.\nData Centers. Reports to the Construction Director, Data Centers. Assigned by tenant campus: data center shell, core, and site works, data center substations and campus electrical interfaces, and field management of the tenant design build contractor, working with the Project Manager Data Centers for that tenant.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nField Execution and Contractor Direction\nDirect the EPC and construction contractors executing the assigned area as the owner's field representative, including daily coordination, work front planning, and resolution of field issues.\nOwn the construction execution plan for the assigned area, including work sequencing, area logistics, crane and heavy haul planning, temporary facilities, and interfaces with adjacent areas.\nMaintain a current, first hand understanding of progress, manpower, equipment, and constraints on every active work front and report it accurately to the Construction Director and the Project Manager.\nIdentify constraints early and clear them through the owner organization: engineering, procurement, permits, access, and owner furnished equipment.\nLead constructability reviews on assigned scope and drive contractor adoption of the resulting actions.\nSafety and Environmental\nSet and enforce the Fermi America safety standard on the assigned area, holding contractors to Fermi requirements and applicable OSHA regulation without exception.\nParticipate in job safety analysis reviews, pre task planning, incident investigation, and corrective action closeout in coordination with the HSSE Area Manager.\nEnsure construction activities comply with site environmental permit conditions and stormwater controls in coordination with HSSE and Permitting.\nQuality\nEnsure work is executed to the issued for construction drawings and specifications and to the contractor's approved inspection and test plans.\nCoordinate with the QA/QC Area Manager on witness and hold points, nonconformance reporting, and closeout of quality findings.\nDrive systems completion readiness, including punch list management, mechanical completion walkdowns, and turnover package assembly in coordination with the Commissioning Manager and the Construction Completions Manager.\nOwner Furnished Equipment and Logistics\nManage the receipt, offload, laydown, preservation, and issue of owner furnished equipment and materials within the assigned area, including transfer of care, custody, and control to the installing contractor.\nCoordinate with the Materials Manager, Procurement, and Logistics on delivery sequencing, heavy haul routing, site receiving, and damage inspection so deliveries align with the installation schedule.\nMaintain laydown yard organization, material inventory custody, and warehouse interfaces for the assigned area.\nSchedule, Cost, and Commercial Support\nReview and validate contractor progress reporting, schedule updates, and look ahead plans against field reality; challenge reported percent complete where it is not supported.\nIdentify field changes, trends, and potential claims as they arise; document them contemporaneously and provide the EPC Project Controls team with the factual record required for change management.\nReview contractor daily, weekly, and monthly reports and support invoice verification by confirming that reported quantities and milestones reflect installed work.\nSupport the Construction Director, the Project Manager, and the Commercial Manager with field substantiation for change order evaluation, backcharges, and dispute positions.\nInterfaces and Coordination\nOwn the construction interfaces between the assigned area and adjacent scopes, including generation, high voltage electrical, gas and water infrastructure, and data center parcels, so that interface points are defined, scheduled, and closed.\nCoordinate with the Engineering Manager for the area (Power and Gas, Infrastructure, or Data Centers) on field engineering support, requests for information, design clarifications, and redline and as built documentation.\nParticipate in weekly construction coordination meetings and provide the assigned area input to the Fermi America weekly operations reporting cycle.\nBuild constructive, disciplined working relationships with contractor site leadership while protecting the owner position.\nLeadership\nLead the assigned Construction Coordinator, setting expectations and developing capability.\nCover and support adjacent areas as directed by the Construction Director.\nRequirements\nExperience\n15 or more years of progressive construction experience on large industrial, power generation, LNG, petrochemical, or mission critical projects.\nMinimum of 5 years in a construction management, general superintendent, or field superintendent role with direct accountability for contractor performance and multiple concurrent work fronts.\nDemonstrated field leadership on at least one major capital project carried from mobilization through mechanical completion and turnover.\nExperience directing EPC or construction contractors from the owner or construction manager side of the table, including field change identification and documentation of contractor performance.\nTechnical and Commercial Knowledge\nWorking command of heavy civil, structural, mechanical, piping, and electrical construction methods and sequencing appropriate to the assigned area.\nPractical experience with heavy haul, rigging, crane planning, and the offload and set of large owner furnished equipment.\nWorking understanding of construction contract administration, including notice requirements, change management, and progress and payment verification.\nFamiliarity with systems completion and turnover processes and with inspection and test plan execution.\nTools and Systems\nAbility to read and work from Primavera P6 schedules and to use Oracle Aconex or an equivalent document management system.
