About Crusoe

Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company that owns and operates each layer of the stack, from energy generation to cloud services. It transforms stranded energy into power for data centers, reducing environmental impact. The company is building AI infrastructure at a time when power is a bottleneck for AI compute.

About the role

This Construction Project Specialist role supports Crusoe's growing portfolio of AI Factory and Cloud Services colocation projects. The position is for early-career construction professionals or technically experienced candidates who want to expand their construction expertise. You will help deliver the physical infrastructure that powers AI workloads.

A typical day

A typical day might involve coordinating with project managers, reviewing construction schedules, and tracking deliverables for colocation projects. You could also attend virtual meetings with site teams, update documentation, and help resolve issues that come up. The exact routine depends on project phase, so ask the hiring manager how the team is structured and what tools they use.

Who Crusoe is looking for

  • Early-career construction professional with some exposure to project coordination or field experience.
  • Technically experienced candidate from a related field (e.g., engineering, energy, manufacturing) looking to move into construction project support.
  • Problem-solver who finds opportunities and works with a sense of urgency in fast-paced environments.
  • Comfortable with remote work and supporting multiple colocation projects across a growing portfolio.

Tips for this application

  • Highlight any experience with data center construction, colocation, or energy infrastructure projects, even if indirect.
  • Show you understand Crusoe's energy-first model and why it matters for AI compute.
  • Emphasize your ability to work remotely and coordinate with distributed teams on construction projects.
  • Use specific examples of how you solved problems or found opportunities in previous roles.
  • Mention any familiarity with construction project management tools or processes, if applicable.

What to cover in your cover letter

['Why you want to support construction for AI infrastructure and colocation projects specifically.', 'How your background (early-career construction or technical experience) prepares you for this role.', 'Your ability to work with urgency and solve problems in a fast-moving environment.', "Your interest in Crusoe's mission to accelerate energy and intelligence abundance."]
