With 20 data center locations around the world, Teraswitch has served thousands of customers across 185 countries.\nFounded by Brendan Mannella and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Teraswitch is a privately held infrastructure company operating a growing global bare metal platform.\nWhat to Expect\nTeraswitch is seeking a Data Center Infrastructure Project Manager to organize and drive infrastructure projects across our global data center footprint.\nBecause Teraswitch operates as a customer within independently owned data center facilities, this role serves as the primary project management bridge between our internal technical teams and the facility providers, contractors, vendors, carriers, and remote-hands technicians responsible for work at each site.\nThis is an individual contributor project management role focused on planning, coordination, documentation, communication, and follow through. You will work with colocation facilities, contractors, vendors, remote hands providers, and internal Teraswitch teams to ensure projects are clearly defined, assigned, tracked, validated, and completed.\nThis is not a building maintenance, skilled trades, engineering design, or hands on installation position. Your responsibility is to understand what must be accomplished, organize the responsible parties, maintain visibility into progress and risks, verify the result, keep documentation current, and drive the project through completion.\nProjects may include new data center deployments, rack and power additions, capacity expansions, equipment installations, cross connects, cabling, migrations, decommissions, facility remediation, and corrective actions following infrastructure incidents.\nData center or colocation experience is preferred, but candidates with strong project ownership in IT infrastructure, telecommunications, facilities coordination, construction, logistics, or another technically complex environment may also be successful.\nWhat You’ll Own\nManage data center infrastructure projects from initial requirements through planning, execution, validation, documentation, and closure.\n\nManage Teraswitch’s project-level relationship with colocation providers as their customer, ensuring requests are clearly scoped, commitments are documented, deadlines are tracked, and completed work satisfies Teraswitch’s operational requirements.\n\nCreate and maintain project plans containing scope, owners, milestones, dependencies, deadlines, risks, escalation points, and completion criteria.\n\nCoordinate work among colocation facilities, contractors, vendors, remote-hands providers, and Teraswitch’s Operations, Network, Systems, Software, Purchasing, and Logistics teams.\n\nTranslate internal requirements into clear scopes of work, action plans, vendor requests, implementation steps, and completion criteria.\n\nSchedule and track rack deployments, power installations, cabling, cross-connects, equipment deliveries, remote installations, migrations, and decommissions.\n\nLead communication with facility personnel when power, cooling, environmental, cabling, access, or space issues affect Teraswitch infrastructure.\n\nTrack facility-related issues beyond the initial incident response and ensure corrective actions are assigned, completed, validated, and documented.\n\nReview vendor proposals, scopes of work, schedules, implementation plans, completion evidence, and invoices for accuracy and alignment with project requirements.\n\nTrack project dependencies such as rack availability, power readiness, cooling considerations, network connectivity, equipment delivery, site access, and contractor scheduling.\n\nMaintain accurate project records, rack elevations, site documentation, floor plans, photographs, vendor contacts, access procedures, and escalation paths.\n\nCoordinate recurring site audits and reconcile documented conditions with information reported by facility personnel or on-site technicians.\n\nProvide clear project updates identifying completed work, upcoming milestones, blockers, risks, ownership, and decisions required.\n\nFollow up persistently with internal and external owners and escalate when commitments, deadlines, service reliability, or capacity delivery are at risk.\n\nDevelop repeatable templates, checklists, documentation standards, and workflows for deployments, expansions, migrations, audits, and decommissions.\n\nIdentify recurring coordination or documentation failures and improve the process used to prevent them.\n\nSupport infrastructure monitoring and reporting projects by coordinating requirements and ensuring the appropriate teams provide accurate, actionable data.\n\nHow You’ll Work With Other Teams\nYou will work especially closely with Teraswitch’s Server Fulfillment & Capacity function. You will ensure the intended destination is prepared to receive that capacity by coordinating the necessary facility, vendor, contractor, documentation, and infrastructure work.\nYou will also partner with:\nData Center Operations.\n\nNetwork and Systems teams.\n\nPurchasing and Logistics.\n\nSoftware and internal tooling teams.\n\nColocation facility personnel.\n\nContractors, infrastructure vendors, carriers, and remote-hands providers.\n\nYou will not replace the engineers, facility technicians, or tradespeople responsible for designing or physically performing specialized work. Your role is to connect those parties, maintain the plan, identify missing requirements, track execution, resolve blockers, and verify completion.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nThree or more years of experience managing or coordinating technical projects.\n\nDemonstrated ownership of projects involving multiple stakeholders, dependencies, deadlines, and external providers.\n\nStrong organizational skills and the ability to maintain an accurate picture across several simultaneous projects.\n\nExcellent written communication, documentation, follow-up, and stakeholder-management skills.\n\nAbility to turn incomplete or technical requirements into clear plans, responsibilities, timelines, and completion criteria.\n\nAbility to identify risks, missing information, and blockers before they affect project delivery.\n\nExperience maintaining project plans, status reports, task tracking, documentation, and decision records.\n\nSound judgment regarding priority, escalation, service impact, and when work can be considered complete.\n\nComfort working with technical teams and learning unfamiliar infrastructure concepts.\n\nAbility to verify completed work through documentation, photographs, monitoring data, testing results, or confirmation from the appropriate technical owner.\n\nAbility to work independently while maintaining communication, visibility, and accountability.\n\nHelpful Experience\nExperience in data centers, colocation, hosting, cloud infrastructure, telecommunications, networking, facilities coordination, construction, or technical logistics.\n\nFamiliarity with racks, power circuits, PDUs, cooling, environmental conditions, structured cabling, cross-connects, and physical capacity.\n\nExperience coordinating colocation personnel, contractors, vendors, carriers, or remote-hands providers.\n\nExperience with new-site deployments, rack-and-power additions, capacity expansions, migrations, audits, or decommissions.\n\nExperience writing scopes of work, implementation plans, Methods of Procedure, validation procedures, checklists, or corrective-action plans.\n\nFamiliarity with Jira, Confluence, DCIM platforms, spreadsheets, dashboards, or comparable project and infrastructure-management tools.\n\nFamiliarity with Zabbix, Grafana, intelligent PDUs, or other infrastructure-monitoring platforms.\n\nFamiliarity with APIs or other methods used to retrieve, reconcile, and report infrastructure data.\n\nDeep expertise in personally installing electrical, mechanical, cabling, or other facility infrastructure is not required. Relevant technical knowledge is valuable, but success in this position depends more heavily on organization, communication, project ownership, documentation, risk recognition, and follow-through.\nSchedule\nThis role generally works Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern. Some scheduled work may occur outside standard business hours to support site deployments, maintenance windows, migrations, or time-sensitive infrastructure events.\nCompensation and Benefits\nAlong with competitive pay, full-time Teraswitch employees are eligible for the following benefits beginning on their first day of employment:\nHealth, dental, and vision insurance.\n\n401(k) with company profit sharing.\n\nFlexible paid time off.\n\nCompany holiday benefits.\n\nSuccess in This Role\nSuccess means data center projects have clear plans, owners, deadlines, dependencies, risks, and completion criteria. Internal teams and external providers understand what is required, blockers are identified early, project records remain current, and completed work is validated before the project is closed.\nWhen a facility-related problem affects Teraswitch infrastructure, Data Center Operations may respond to the immediate incident and open the initial facility request. The Data Center Infrastructure Project Manager then owns the continuing coordination: tracking the underlying issue, maintaining communication with the facility and internal teams, driving corrective action, validating the outcome, updating documentation, and ensuring reasonable measures are taken to prevent recurrence.","description_format":"text","description_chars":9671,"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":["Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Data Centers & Colocation","Cloud Platforms (IaaS & PaaS)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-24T01:18:09Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-01T04:17:40Z"}],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/teraswitch-data-center-infrastructure-project-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/teraswitch-data-center-infrastructure-project-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-02T01:11:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1275,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3725,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-03T00:00:00Z"}}}
