Yondr Group is seeking a Project Director to lead hyperscale data center delivery from pre-construction through handover to operations. This is a site-based role in Dallas reporting to the Senior Construction Director, requiring someone with at least 15 years of experience managing complex capital projects from a client or construction perspective. You'll own the full project lifecycle, working independently while maintaining clear accountability to senior leadership, and will be responsible for vendor management, contractor procurement, design coordination, and ensuring compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements.
The role demands a strategic problem-solver who can navigate difficult decisions with incomplete information and manage multidisciplinary, multicultural teams across architects, engineers, and construction partners. You'll establish partnerships with subcontractors, administer major agreements, and serve as a bridge between the design team, construction operations, and Yondr's internal stakeholders. Success requires both the detail orientation to safeguard compliance and the broader perspective needed to represent the company's interests across competing priorities.
This is a contract position suited to someone with a proven track record delivering data center projects, strong commercial acumen, and the collaborative leadership style needed to foster trust-based relationships under pressure. If you have deep experience in construction project management, vendor administration, and the ability to think strategically while managing day-to-day execution, this role offers the opportunity to lead a significant infrastructure delivery at a rapidly growing company.
