Full description
Salary: $75,000 to $100,000 per year + bonus + car allowance + cell phone allowance
LINX is hiring an Associate Project Manager to support the execution of our largest hyperscale data center construction builds, paying $75,000 to $100,000 a year.
This role works directly alongside a Project Manager, coordinating scheduling, materials, documentation, and day-to-day jobsite activity on fast-track, high-pressure mission-critical data center projects. It's built as a growth path, not a terminal admin role: candidates who excel here are developing the skills and exposure to step into full Project Manager ownership.
Where This Role Fits at LINX
Associate Project Manager → Project Manager → Senior Project Manager → Program Manager
An Associate Project Manager works under a Project Manager's direction, handling the coordination, documentation, and materials-tracking workload that keeps a hyperscale build on schedule, while building the budget, scheduling, and stakeholder-management experience needed to run a project independently.
What You'll Be Doing
Project Coordination & Scheduling
- Assist the Project Manager with daily coordination of project activities, including scheduling updates, meeting notes, and action item tracking
- Track project milestones, identify schedule gaps, and follow up on critical path activities
Documentation & Compliance
- Maintain organized project files, including RFIs, submittals, change logs, and closeout documentation
- Track QA/QC items and punch lists, and ensure documentation aligns with project requirements
Materials & Logistics Tracking
- Track OFCI and CFCI materials, monitor deliveries, and coordinate staging and site readiness
Field & Stakeholder Communication
- Act as a liaison between field crews and project leadership to resolve issues and keep communication clear
- Support communication flow between the client, general contractor, vendors, and internal teams through updates and reporting
Project Closeout Support
- Help compile turnover packages, test results, and final documentation for project completion
Minimum Requirements
Required
- 1-3 years of project coordination or project management experience in a construction environment
- 1-3 years of experience on mission-critical data center or large hyperscale construction projects
- Understanding of the project management lifecycle, including initiation, planning, estimating/budgeting, delivery, monitoring, and closeout
- Ability to develop timelines for design, procurement, mobilization, and project delivery
- Ability to manage multiple projects and customers at various stages of the project lifecycle
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office
- Strong organizational and time management skills, and a self-directed working style
- Valid driver's license
Preferred
- Exposure to data center, low voltage, or mission-critical environments
- Experience supporting large-scale or fast-track construction projects
- Familiarity with project management tools
- Basic understanding of fiber optic or low voltage systems
- Associate's or bachelor's degree (not required)
This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If
- You're looking for a purely administrative or clerical role with no path toward full project ownership, this position is built as a stepping stone into Project Manager, not a terminal admin job
- You've only worked in a corporate office setting and haven't been embedded on an active construction jobsite before
- You need heavy daily oversight, this role requires a self-directed person who can track multiple fast-moving work streams without constant direction
Compensation and Benefits
Pay Rate: $75,000 to $100,000 per year
Bonus: Performance-based bonus opportunities available
Benefits:
- 401(k) with 50% employer match on the first 5% contributed
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance with FSA and HSA options
- Short and long-term disability coverage
- 3 weeks PTO (vacation and sick combined)
- 8 paid holidays
- Cell phone allowance
- Car allowance
- Bonus opportunities
- Direct advancement path to Project Manager
