Project 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. We deliver behind the meter power at a speed and density the incumbent grid cannot match.\nPosition Summary\nOwner's senior project-controls representative overseeing integrated cost and schedule control across the design, procurement, and construction of data center facilities (hyperscale and colocation). This is a coordination and validation role - reviewing, challenging, and validating contractor and vendor cost and schedule deliverables, ensuring accuracy and contractual compliance, and holding contractors accountable to contract requirements - rather than producing the controls data directly. Serves as the owner's primary controls interface with general contractors, MEP trades, equipment vendors, and commissioning agents, with a focus on the speed, repeatability, and MEP intensity that define data center delivery.\nKey Responsibilities\nReview, validate, and challenge contractor-developed integrated schedules for data center builds, confirming alignment of the WBS/CBS with the construction sequence across shell, MEP, and fit-out.\nValidate the contractor's monthly cost report cycle - commitments, accruals, actuals, ETC/EAC forecasts, and variance analysis - reconciling against owner budgets and contract terms.\nIndependently apply Earned Value Management (CPI/SPI) to verify contractor-reported performance and translate metrics into recommendations for owner leadership.\nCoordinate and validate long-lead equipment tracking (generators, switchgear, transformers, chillers/CRAHs, UPS) and its impact on the critical path.\nManage the change process from the owner's side - reviewing, validating, and dispositioning contractor trends, change orders, and claims for schedule/cost impact and contractual entitlement.\nPerform independent Primavera P6 schedule analysis (critical path, float, logic, progress validation) to verify contractor progress and support commissioning (Cx) sequencing.\nManage contractors to maintain contract requirements - reporting deliverables, cadence, formats, and controls standards - and hold them accountable to those obligations.\nCoordinate across the owner team, general contractor, commissioning agents, MEP subcontractors, and vendors to keep the schedule accurate and fast-track ready.\nPrepare and present owner-level controls deliverables and independent assessments for leadership and stakeholders.\nProduce accurate, complete, and timely project-controls information and data that enable senior leadership to make informed decisions on projects.\nRequirements\n3+ years of progressive project controls experience, including data center or mission-critical facility construction.\nOwner's-representative or owner-side experience validating contractor cost and schedule deliverables preferred.\nDeep expertise in cost engineering, forecasting, and Earned Value Management.\nAdvanced Primavera P6 and cost-management systems (Oracle Unifier or equivalent) proficiency.\nStrong command of change management, contracts, and progress/invoice validation, with the ability to enforce contract requirements.\nAdvanced Excel; ability to build and interrogate large controls data sets.\nFamiliarity with data center delivery - MEP-heavy scopes, long-lead equipment, and commissioning (Levels 1-5).","description_format":"text","description_chars":3585,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["E-learning"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-11T18:49:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":26,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.73,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":92,"expected_fill_days":47,"reasons":["conf:9","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fermi-data-center-senior-project-controls-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fermi-data-center-senior-project-controls-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T05:43:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12072,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3780259},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3780259"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffermi-data-center-senior-project-controls-specialist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffermi-data-center-senior-project-controls-specialist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffermi-data-center-senior-project-controls-specialist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/fermi-data-center-senior-project-controls-specialist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffermi-data-center-senior-project-controls-specialist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4085612}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"fermi.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4085612},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
