Original job description

About Volta

Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds.

The role

As Senior Manager, Constructability, you will build and lead Volta's constructability function. Your team will make sure every DSX design and build sequence is buildable, safe and maintainable before it reaches site, across all our AI factories.

This is a senior leadership role. Reporting to the Senior Director, Global E2E DSX Execution, you will own the constructability process end to end, build the team that runs it, and hold the line with designers, contractors and suppliers when buildability risks threaten schedule or cost.

What you will do

Team and process leadership

  • Build and lead a team of constructability specialists covering multiple concurrent sites.

  • Own the global constructability review process at each design stage, with clear gates, decision rights and escalation.

  • Make the call on buildability issues before release for construction, balancing cost, schedule, quality and maintainability.

Sequencing and modular interfaces

  • Set installation and workface strategies aligned with procurement, commissioning and site logistics.

  • Define modular and off-site interfaces with OSM, including module sizes, tolerances, transport and lift constraints.

Assurance and improvement

  • Report constructability risk and performance to delivery leadership and drive changes into the reference design.

  • Turn site lessons into standards that cut rework from one site to the next.

What we are looking for

  • Senior construction delivery leadership on data centres or complex mission-critical projects.

  • Experience leading a team or function, not only individual project delivery.

  • A track record running constructability or design assurance across several projects at once.

  • Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical and structural interfaces, sequencing, logistics and temporary works.

  • Experience using BIM or coordinated models to resolve buildability issues at scale.

  • Credibility to challenge designers, contractors and senior stakeholders and get decisions made.

Nice to have

  • Modular or off-site manufactured infrastructure.

  • High-density AI facilities and liquid-cooled equipment installation.

  • International construction programmes.

What We Offer

At Volta, we believe people do their best work when they feel supported, trusted and able to grow. We're building a company where you can make an impact, keep a healthy balance between work and life, and build a career you're proud of.
As a global team, we do our best to provide great benefits wherever you're based. While some benefits vary by country due to local regulations, we believe looking after our people is simply the right thing to do.

  • Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary

  • Equity in Volta, giving you the opportunity to share in the company's long-term success

  • Retirement/pension contributions

  • Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits

  • Generous number of vacation days each year
