The opportunity
Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads.
What you'll do
Construction Strategy & Vision: Build and execute the comprehensive OSP/ISP strategy to support Crusoe’s rapid data center expansion, aligning project priorities with long-term capacity and infrastructure goals.
Full-Lifecycle Project Oversight: Direct the entire project lifecycle—from initial route design and permitting to physical construction and final turnover—ensuring all fiber deployments meet rigorous performance standards.
Vendor & Contractor Management: Lead the selection, RFP process, and negotiation for construction partners and ISPs, holding all vendors strictly accountable for safety, cost, and schedule adherence.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Network Engineering, GIS, and Data Center teams to ensure accurate designs, seamless system integration, and high-fidelity documentation across all builds.
Capital & Budget Accountability: Own multi-million dollar construction budgets, forecasting expenditures and monitoring cost-to-completion to ensure every project meets its ROI and performance targets.
Technical Infrastructure Standards: Direct the installation of conduit, structured cabling, and fiber systems, maintaining a deep working knowledge of DWDM, IP transport, and emerging network technologies.
What they're looking for
- Safety & Compliance Advocacy: Cultivate a "safety-first" field culture by implementing OSHA protocols, conducting rigorous site audits, and ensuring 100% compliance with local and federal construction codes.
- Risk & Milestone Tracking: Proactively mitigate construction risks and manage change orders to ensure the on-time delivery of mission-critical network paths across diverse geographic regions.
- Telecom Leadership Mastery: 10+ years of experience leading telecommunications infrastructure or OSP/ISP construction at a Director or senior management level.
- Network Build Expertise: Proven track record of building complex fiber networks, conduit systems, and aerial/underground routes specifically for data center environments.
