About PIC
At PIC we're not just building data centers; we're reimagining how AI infrastructure gets developed, financed, and scaled by combining hyperscale-grade facilities with direct access to energy, land, and fiber at a scope that simply doesn't exist anywhere else. Backed by a best-in-class supply chain, world-class partners, and advanced partnerships with major hyperscale customers, PIC is poised to become a multi-billion dollar platform with ambitions to layer cloud, compute, and advanced manufacturing on top of our energy foundation.
If you want to work at the intersection of AI, energy, and infrastructure at a scale that will shape the next decade of compute, join our team.
About the role
This is an owner-side commercial management role on an ambitious and exciting data center build in the Permian Basin.

Day to day, that means owning the project budget, driving cost control, managing change orders, and keeping executive leadership informed with clear, accurate financial reporting. You'll work closely with GC commercial teams and cost consultants, and you'll need to move fast. This is a high-growth, high-stakes environment where your work directly shapes project outcomes.
