- Minimum 10+ years of experience in construction or program/project management, with demonstrated expertise managing multi-project portfolios in modular, prefabricated, or industrialized construction environments.
- Proven track record in supplier/vendor qualification, capacity planning, and logistics coordination for off-site manufactured components.
- Strong commercial acumen with experience in cost controls, schedule management, and stakeholder reporting at the executive level.
- Experience building and leading project management, project controls, and supply chain/logistics teams.
- Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field required; PMP or equivalent certification preferred.
- Experience in hyperscale, colocation, or owner-operator data center development highly valued; willingness and ability to travel.
- Pre-employment screening, including background checks may be required according to company policies.
- Must be able to reliably commute to the assigned office location on scheduled in-office days under the hybrid work arrangement.
- IREN does not yet have an office in the Bay Area (a Santa Clara office is planned); until it opens, this role will work remotely, transitioning to hybrid on-site work once the office is established.
Technical Project Management
- Lead technical project managers embedded across DfMA and mechanical/electrical scope, ensuring project schedules reflect the realities of modular design, fabrication, and field tie-in sequencing.
- Serve as the primary point of contact resolving scope, interface, or schedule conflicts between manufacturing engineering and construction/commissioning teams.
- Own cost and schedule performance across the portfolio, directing the Project Controls lead's cost-controls and schedule-coordination functions.
- Translate field, fabrication, and manufacturing-partner progress into portfolio-level reporting for the VP's industrialized delivery scorecard (schedule compression, total cost of ownership, cost performance).
- Supplier Qualification, Logistics & Capacity Planning
- Direct the Supplier Qualification/Logistics lead's team in qualifying, contracting, and developing manufacturing partners capable of meeting IREN's volume, quality, and speed requirements.
- Oversee logistics sequencing — transportation routing, crane lift sequencing, site readiness prerequisites, and just-in-time delivery scheduling — ensuring modules arrive ready for immediate installation without staging delays.
- Own advanced capacity vendor planning, ensuring the supply chain scales with IREN's pipeline without single-source dependency, quality degradation, or lead-time extension risk.
- Recruit, build, and lead the Project Management organization, including the Technical PM, Project Controls, and Supplier Qualification/Logistics leads and their teams.
- Set standards for project governance, reporting cadence, and stage-gate discipline across all active projects.
- Serve as a primary integration point between engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and finance for all matters related to project delivery timing and supplier readiness.
- Partner with construction leadership and regional project teams to embed modular delivery requirements into project governance and procurement strategy.
- Own portfolio-level project performance reporting — cost variance, schedule compression versus traditional delivery, and supplier/logistics risk — feeding directly into the VP's scorecard.
- Establish project-level targets for each delivery cycle and drive year-over-year improvement in delivery efficiency as the manufacturing partner network deepens.
