Job Description

AECOM is seeking a Program Manager for Data Center Site Strategy and Portfolio Development with a passion for driving results to join our high-performance data center team. In this role, the program manager will plan, direct, and execute multiple moderate-to-large scale projects and programs to support the utility and land development for next-generation digital infrastructure. This role has a strong focus on site development planning for data centers.

This position offers the flexibility of a remote work schedule and can be based from a variety of locations in the US where AECOM has an office.

While this position is eligible for remote work, office attendance is encouraged if an AECOM office is proximal. Periodic travel may be required for client meetings, key project milestones, onsite collaboration sessions, or other business‑critical activities. Travel is expected to be occasional and scheduled in advance.

AECOM is a leader in the global data center consulting industry with robust teams in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with our teams around the world on high-profile, fast-paced data center projects for global clients. This is a hands-on, client-facing role with an opportunity for upward career mobility.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Develop and lead cross-functional teams, including engineers, planners, and consultants; including recruitment and “care and feeding” of direct reports. 
• Build trust with the client, local communities and regulatory and economic development entities. 
• Support identification and evaluation of land opportunities aligned with long-term data center growth. 
• Accountable for the overall results of a project or groups of projects, including goal setting, team leadership and adherence to internal and external budgets
