Hut 8 is building and operating large-scale data centers for next-generation computing workloads including AI, colocation, cloud, and Bitcoin mining. This role is central to managing project delivery risk and commercial discipline on major capital projects.
As Risk & Change Manager, you will own the end-to-end project risk register, driving structured identification workshops, probability/impact quantification with cost and schedule ranges, mitigation plans with named owners and dates, and monthly risk reviews that retire risks rather than simply track them. You will escalate top exposures to program leadership with clear asks.
You will run the change order process across general contractor (GC), engineering-procurement-construction (EPC), and vendor contracts. This includes early identification of potential changes from requests for information (RFIs), field conditions, and design evolution; change notice logging; scope and pricing review; and entitlement assessment against contract terms before commercial positions are set.
You will support the project manager and supply chain in change negotiations by conducting independent pricing checks, reviewing productivity and quantum impacts, and providing settlement recommendations. You will keep the change log current from identification through executed change order.
Contract compliance and claims avoidance are critical. You will monitor notice requirements, time-bar clauses, and documentation obligations across contracts, building the contemporaneous record—directives, delay notices, photos, meeting minutes—that prevents disputes or wins them if they arise.
You will feed risk exposure ranges and pending-change forecasts into the Cost Controller's monthly report so forecasts reflect reality, not just executed commitments. You will also build Hut 8's risk and change playbook: templates, thresholds, approval matrices, and lessons learned applied across the program.
The role can be based full-time at the project site (Corpus Christi, TX) or out of the Miami headquarters. Miami-based employees should expect frequent travel to the project site, including extended periods on-site as project needs require. Site travel is estimated at 15–25% annually.
**Requirements:**
- 6+ years in project controls, commercial management, contract administration, or risk/change roles on major capital projects
- Strong contract literacy across GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price), lump sum, and EPC forms—entitlement, notice provisions, and change mechanics
- Experience running quantified risk registers (Monte Carlo exposure a plus) with real mitigation ownership
- Change order lifecycle depth: identification, pricing review, negotiation support, and execution
- Claims-awareness: ability to build the record before disputes arise
- Construction cost fundamentals sufficient to challenge contractor pricing credibly
- Data center, power, or heavy industrial project background preferred
- Precise, disciplined documentation and unemotional negotiation support style
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction, quantity surveying, or related field
