Site Program Manager — AI Infrastructure Deployments (Batam)

About Nscale

At Nscale, we are building the infrastructure for Europe’s AI revolution. Nscale are developing cutting-edge sovereign generative AI solutions, powered by a new generation of high-performance, sustainable data centres and GPUs built specifically for AI workloads.

The growth of artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented global demand for compute and GPU infrastructure. Nscale is positioned at the heart of this transformation — building the platforms that will enable the next decade of innovation.

Nscale are working closely with the world’s most advanced AI technology providers, integrating next-gen compute hardware and GPU clusters in both partner and Nscale built facilities. This is an opportunity to join Nscale’s journey, play a key role in delivering transformative AI infrastructure, and help shape a company designed to scale rapidly across Europe and beyond.

Nscale is building out AI infrastructure deployments across APAC. As we transition from a vendor-led delivery model to in-house execution, we are hiring Site PMs who will own the physical delivery floor — coordinating trades, managing contractors, and driving daily site execution from civil through commissioning. If you have lived on a data center construction site, managed trades under schedule pressure, and know what off-track looks like before anyone writes it in a report, this role is built for you.

What you will do

• Own on-site delivery execution across the full deployment lifecycle — from civil and structural through power, mechanical, cabling, hardware install, and commissioning
• Coordinate trades on site — electrical, mechanical, low voltage, and network — driving daily standup cadence, resolving trade conflicts, and holding contractors accountable to schedule
• Interface with General Contractors, subcontractors, and OEM vendors on site — managing RFIs, submittals, change orders, and daily progress
• Track site schedule against the master plan — identify variances early, escalate proactively, and work with Project Controls to reflect actuals
• Own site commissioning and acceptance testing process — coordinate power-on sequencing, thermal validation, network testing, and final sign-off against customer acceptance criteria
• Produce daily and weekly site status updates to the Head of E2E Delivery and Integration PM — structured, data-led, no surprises
• Enforce safety protocols on site — PPE compliance, LOTO procedures, hot-work permits, and change management controls
• Build and maintain relationships with trades crews, contractors, and site teams — trust and credibility on the floor is a core part of this role

What will you bring

• 5+ years of experience as a site or construction PM on data center, critical infrastructure, or large-scale technology deployment programs
• Hands-on trades coordination experience — you have managed electrical, mechanical, and low-voltage contractors under real schedule pressure
• Ability to read construction drawings, RFIs, and submittals — you work from the documents, not just the status reports
• Track record of physical floor presence and leadership — trades crews respect your authority on site
• Strong schedule tracking discipline — you know when something is going wrong before it shows up in a report
• Clear, structured upward communication — your VP is never surprised by something you knew
• Willingness to travel extensively and spend significant time on active deployment sites

Nice to have

• Experience with data center commissioning — BMS, power-on sequencing, thermal validation, and acceptance testing
• Background in AI or GPU infrastructure specifically — rack and stack, high-density power, cabling standards
• OSHA 30 or equivalent safety certification
• PMP or equivalent program management certification
