Atoms is building Physical AI—real-world robots for industries including food, mining, and transport. The company integrates hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate to deploy and operate intelligent systems at scale.
As Mission Critical Project Manager, you will own data center projects from design through construction, energization, commissioning, and turnover. You will be accountable for cost, schedule, scope, quality, and risk across all phases. This is a foundational role: you'll help build Atoms' data center development and construction program from the ground up, establishing the standards, processes, and playbook that will scale as the program grows.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own end-to-end project delivery with accountability for all critical dimensions
- Apply first-principles thinking to challenge industry conventions and find better ways to deliver
- Drive project execution, identify risks early, and solve problems before they impact milestones
- Lead coordination across electrical, mechanical, structural, controls, fire/life safety, and architectural scopes
- Drive utility coordination, permitting, inspections, energization, and commissioning
- Manage consultants, general contractors, specialty trades, equipment vendors, and commissioning providers
- Own procurement and delivery of critical long-lead equipment (transformers, switchgear, generators, UPS, cooling systems)
- Review and challenge designs, schedules, estimates, change orders, and technical proposals
- Determine root causes when problems arise, develop options, and drive resolution
You will work onsite in San Francisco five days per week.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 7+ years delivering complex construction or infrastructure projects with meaningful data center or mission-critical experience
- Experience working for a general contractor strongly preferred
- Strong technical and field understanding of MEP systems, constructability, sequencing, subcontractor coordination, and means and methods
- Experience delivering projects through utility energization, equipment startup, commissioning, and turnover
- Strong command of critical-path scheduling, cost management, procurement, and change management
- Ability to read and challenge drawings, specifications, schedules, estimates, submittals, RFIs, and technical proposals
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and solve difficult problems under aggressive timelines
- Comfortable operating without an established playbook and turning lessons learned into repeatable standards and processes
- Clear, concise communicator who surfaces risks early and comes prepared with solutions
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related field preferred
- Procore, Bluebeam Revu, and scheduling software experience preferred
