## Job description

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

About the Role: Crusoe is looking for an organized, proactive, and execution-driven Workplace Design & Construction Project Manager to lead workplace design and construction projects across our growing global portfolio. This role will manage projects from initial planning and scoping through design, construction, occupancy, and closeout. The Project Manager will be responsible for driving project schedules, budgets, design coordination, vendor performance, and cross-functional workstreams while ensuring projects align with Crusoe’s workplace standards, operational needs, and employee experience goals. Projects may include new office buildouts, expansions, relocations, renovations, space reconfigurations, workplace refreshes, and furniture installations. The Project Manager will independently lead assigned projects and work closely with internal stakeholders, architects, contractors, consultants, landlords, and vendors to deliver projects on time and within budget. The Project Manager will also partner with teams responsible for Crusoe’s colocation, data center, and manufacturing sites, providing workplace planning and design expertise for the office and employee-facing portions of these projects. This includes programming, space planning, workplace standards, employee experience, and FF&E procurement, while the broader project remains under the ownership of the respective business or project team.

What You'll Be Working On:

- Project Management & Delivery
- Lead assigned workplace design and construction projects from initial scoping and programming through design, construction, occupancy, and closeout
- Establish and manage project scope, budget, schedule, milestones, risks, dependencies, and key decision points

- Lead cross-functional coordination across Workplace, IT, AV, Security, Brand & Creative, Finance, Procurement, Legal, and other business partners
- Develop project delivery strategies, phasing plans, and sequencing approaches that minimize business disruption while maintaining project objectives
- Manage external project managers and consultants where applicable and ensure clear ownership, accountability, and performance
- Support portfolio-level initiatives and larger strategic projects as part of the broader Workplace Design & Construction team
- Workplace Planning & Cross-Business Partnership
- Lead programming and requirements gathering and translate business, employee, and operational needs into practical workplace solutions
- Review and provide direction on test fits, architectural plans, furniture layouts, finish selections, and design packages
- Ensure projects align with Crusoe’s workplace design standards while appropriately adapting solutions to local conditions, operational requirements, budgets, and schedules
- Partner with teams responsible for colocation, data center, and manufacturing projects to define and deliver the workplace and office components of these environments
- Serve as the Workplace Design & Construction representative for assigned cross-business projects, providing guidance on programming, space planning, workplace design, employee experience, and FF&E
- Identify opportunities to improve space efficiency, functionality, employee experience, and consistency across locations
- Partner with Workplace and Brand & Creative to create a cohesive and recognizable Crusoe experience across the portfolio
- Budget, Procurement & FF&E
- Develop and manage project budgets, forecasts, commitments, invoices, contingencies, and change-order logs
- Monitor project financial performance and proactively identify potential budget impacts, savings opportunities, and forecast changes
- Lead or support competitive bidding, proposal evaluation, vendor selection, contracting, purchase orders, and vendor onboarding
- Review vendor proposals and change orders for scope, cost, schedule, and alignment with project requirements
- Manage FF&E planning, specifications, pricing, procurement, delivery, installation, and punch-list coordination
- Track long-lead items and procurement milestones and proactively address risks that could impact project delivery
- Coordinate with Finance and Procurement to maintain accurate project forecasts, commitments, and financial reporting
- Ensure complete and organized project documentation, including drawings, contracts, approvals, specifications, warranties, as-builts, and closeout materials
