Construction Manager – Data Center / BKK

**Position:**Construction Manager – Data Center

Company: Information Technology company

Work Period: 1 year contract

Location: Bangkok

We’re hiring a Construction Manager to lead on-the-ground delivery of Data Center Facility Development. You’ll own construction execution across high-density, mission-critical environments—driving safety, quality, schedule certainty, and disciplined delivery across multiple contractors and specialist vendors. This is a hands-on site leadership role with strong accountability for construction performance, interfaces, and readiness for commissioning and handover.

Responsibilities:

• Lead site-based construction delivery for AI / high-density data center infrastructure (power, cooling, white space fit-out, containment, enabling works).
• Direct multiple contractors and vendors across MEP, CSA, controls/BMS, fire, security, network readiness, and specialist packages.
• Own construction planning and daily execution: site logistics, access control, permits, RAMS, ITP compliance, inspections, and progress verification.
• Drive interface management and sequencing across trades to protect critical milestones and remove blockers fast.
• Maintain strict quality discipline: NCR management, corrective actions, punch list closure, progressive turnover.
• Lead safety performance and culture: toolbox talks, audits, incident management, and corrective/preventative actions.
• Drive commissioning readiness with commissioning/ops teams: test readiness, SAT/FAT coordination support, test packs, redlines/as-builts, and clean turnover.
• Produce clear site reporting: daily/weekly progress, constraints, risks/issues, look-ahead plans, and escalation items.
• Support commercial discipline with PM/QS: progress claims validation, variation identification, and scope compliance.

Requirements:

• 5-8 years’ experience leading data center and/or mission-critical construction delivery.
• Proven leadership managing large multi-trade teams and contractors in high-pressure environments.
• Strong knowledge of MEP/critical systems construction and the construction-to-commissioning handover process.
• Deep understanding of construction controls: QA/QC, ITPs, inspections, NCRs, change control inputs, punch lists, and closeout.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication—able to run site cadence and hold teams accountable.
• Competency with reporting and project tools (MS Office) and exposure to systems like Aconex/Procore/ACC/SharePoint.
• Willingness to travel occasionally within Thailand and to other APAC countries as required.
• Native Thai with English working level skills

Nice to have skills:

• High-density / AI-ready infrastructure experience (tight power/cooling constraints, fast-track fitouts, accelerated commissioning windows).
• Formal trade background or engineering qualification; site safety leadership credentials; PMP/Prince2 (helpful but not required).
