Construction Administrator - Data Center Construction

Position Overview  

Align is a specialized general contractor (GC) who manages the entire fit-out of data center white space projects across the country.

You will assist with project setup, documentation tracking, subcontractor coordination, and compliance-related processes while maintaining clear communication across internal teams and external partners. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple moving pieces in a fast-paced data center project environment.
