Construction Manager, Glomfjord

About the role

We are seeking a Construction Manager to support on-site delivery of Nscale’s Glomfjord data centre project and associated enabling works. This is a site-based owner-side role responsible for overseeing construction execution from site preparation through commissioning and turnover.

The role will act as Nscale’s client-side construction lead, overseeing and challenging the main contractor on field execution, sequencing, safety, quality, and progress. You will oversee day-to-day field execution, coordinate contractors and trades, maintain safety and quality standards, and keep the project on schedule and aligned to budget.

What You’ll be Doing:

• Coordinate and oversee on-site construction activities across site preparation, structural, electrical, mechanical, commissioning, and turnover phases.
• Oversee and coordinate with the general contractors, subcontractors, and trade partners, ensuring work is properly sequenced and delivered to specification.
• Support construction schedule management by validating field progress, identifying critical-path risks, and driving corrective action with the contractors.
• Support cost control and change management by providing field-based progress validation, construction input and early identification of scope, productivity, or sequencing impacts.
• Promote and enforce a strong safety culture in line with Norwegian HSE regulations, project SHA/HSE plans, permit-to-work requirements, and Nscale standards.
• Drive quality control across disciplines, including inspections, punch lists, testing, and commissioning of critical power and cooling systems.
• Serve as a primary on-site contact for project stakeholders, engineers, vendors, inspectors, and local authorities.
• Review drawings, RFIs, and submittals; resolve field conflicts and coordinate engineering clarifications.
• Coordinate procurement and logistics for materials and long-lead equipment to support uninterrupted progress.
• Support permitting, inspections, regulatory compliance, and local jurisdiction coordination.
• Report progress, risks, blockers and milestones to the Delivery Director and wider project leadership.
