🏢 About Crusoe

Crusoe is pioneering the conversion of stranded energy into clean power for AI data centers, dramatically reducing environmental impact. Their unique approach leverages otherwise wasted natural gas to power high-performance computing, making them a leader in sustainable infrastructure. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge technology while addressing climate change.

About This Role

As a Project Executive, you will lead the construction of hyperscale AI data centers, managing multi-billion dollar budgets and cross-functional teams. Your leadership will directly impact Crusoe's mission by delivering critical infrastructure on time and within budget, enabling the expansion of eco-friendly computing.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a virtual standup with your project team across time zones, reviewing progress against the schedule. You'll then dive into budget reports and vendor calls, addressing any supply chain issues. Afternoons could involve site visits (if possible) or strategizing with Crusoe's leadership on how to integrate their power technology into upcoming builds.

🎯 Who Crusoe Is Looking For

  • A seasoned construction executive with 10+ years managing mission-critical projects (data centers, hospitals, or similar).
  • Proven track record of delivering complex projects on time and under budget, with a portfolio of hyperscale builds.
  • Deep expertise in construction methodologies, scheduling, and quality management, especially for high-stakes environments.
  • Thrives under tight deadlines and can lead teams through ambiguity and pressure with clear communication.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing only on construction management without showing understanding of hyperscale AI data center specific requirements (e.g., power density, cooling).
  • Downplaying the importance of sustainability; Crusoe is mission-driven, so eco-credentials matter.
  • Not preparing examples of remote project leadership, as this role is remote and likely involves distributed teams.
