Project Manager, Special Projects

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. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster. We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI. We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services. If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe. About This Role: Join our team as the Special Projects Project Manager and take ownership of the programs that don't fit the existing production model — our medium-voltage manufacturing expansion, new capability stand-up, first-of-a-kind customer configurations, and the strategic initiatives that determine what the Power Distribution sector can build two years from now. Medium voltage is the primary near-term focus. Expanding MV switchgear and MV PDC manufacturing capability requires coordinated work across facility layout, test capability, tooling, workforce qualification, supply chain development, and certification — all of it running in parallel with live production that cannot be disrupted. Your work directly impacts our ability to energize compute from sustainable, renewable and/or stranded energy sources at a scale the current facility cannot yet support. This role suits a project manager who is comfortable being handed a problem with no template, no precedent inside the building, and a hard date. We are seeking a deeply experienced professional with a proven background spanning capital projects and manufacturing operations, a strategic mindset, and the self-direction to build structure where none exists. This is a full-time position. What You’ll Be Working On: Medium Voltage Manufacturing Expansion: Own capability expansion programs including scope definition, budget, schedule, and cross-functional execution. Facility and Capability Projects: Lead production area layout, material flow, test bay development, lifting and handling requirements, and utility infrastructure needs. Test Capability Development: Coordinate MV test capability — equipment specification, procurement, commissioning, and technician qualification. First-of-a-Kind Programs: Manage non-standard customer programs where no established production process exists, and document the process you create. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Supply Chain to develop the MV supplier base through qualification, lead time development, and dual-sourcing of critical components. Workforce Readiness: Coordinate with Operations and HR on skills gap analysis, training plans, and qualification tracking for MV assembly and test. Capital Budget Management: Manage capital project scope with Finance and Facilities, including justification, tracking, and close-out. You own the accuracy of your program cost model, maintain it to the PMO reporting standard and cadence, and sign the monthly cost-to-complete position that feeds the program economics review. Permit and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) Management: Own regulatory workstreams associated with expanded capability — listing scope, inspection agency coordination, AHJ engagement, and code applicability analysis.
