Project Executive (PX) – Hyperscale Data Center Construction
Insight Global, Irving, TX, United States
Job Description
Insight Global is seeking experienced Project Executives (PX) to lead large scale hyperscale data center construction projects across the U.S. This role is responsible for full lifecycle project leadership—from preconstruction through closeout—on complex, high value new builds and finish out scopes. The ideal candidate brings deep hyperscale experience, strong financial and schedule ownership, and the ability to lead large, multidisciplinary teams in fast paced environments. One of these 2 positions will be joining an ongoing project in Cedar Rapids, IA and MUST be local to the area or willing to relocate. The second opening can be located anywhere in the United States, but willing to travel 75% and/or relocate to an undetermined jobsite. For both of these positions once a job is completed, the expectation is 75% travel + ability and willingness to relocate for future projects.
Key Notes:
Travel cadence often follows Thursday–Monday, approximately twice per month
PXs are expected to be on site heavily during preconstruction, early execution, and closeout, with reduced presence during less busy phases
Day to Day:
Lead PX activities starting in preconstruction
Review and fully understand all contract documents, drawings, and specifications
Support early procurement strategy and long lead item planning
Establish cost code structures, project controls, and production tracking
Participate in building and staffing the project team, including interviewing and onboarding key personnel
Project Execution
