Company mission
To align the future of computing with the future of the climate.
Role
Who you are
- Embrace ambiguity and turn complexity into Kanban
- Value humor and grit as much as Gantt charts
- Care more about objective truth than job titles
- Believe climate‑aligned, AI‑first infrastructure can—and should—be built like a Japanese watch: precise, beautiful, uncompromising
- 6+ yrs working in operationally intensive industries, especially on mission‑critical EPC projects ≥ $250 M (hyperscale data centers, semi-conductor fabs, etc)
- Familiarity with scheduling & cost‑control tools
- Deep grasp of medium‑voltage gear, UPS, switchgear, and high‑density GPU loads—you can talk short‑circuit calcs and hot‑aisle containment in the same breath
- Track record building process from scratch in a blitz‑scale environment (start‑ups, rapid‑growth, or IPO readiness a plus)
- First‑principles thinker who writes board‑worthy memos and isn’t afraid to don PPE and walk a job site
- BS in Engineering, Construction Mgmt, or similar; MBA a plus
What the job involves
- Crusoe’s data‑center program is scaling to build out multiple 1 GW+ campuses while simultaneously integrating an ambitious energy-first approach to datacenter development and preparing the platform for institutional‑grade diligence standards
- You will be the operational right hand to our SVP of Data Center Operations—driving the cadence, tooling, and commercial guard‑rails that let site superintendents build at warp speed without blowing the budget
- Run the critical path – identify and drive mission critical meetings, deadlines, and initiatives
- Operational command‑center for every build – unify cost, schedule, risk and quality data into weekly reporting; publish a weekly one‑pager to senior leadership team
- Codify how Crusoe builds – author playbooks, RACI/RAPID matrices, RCCA loops, and turnover packages so new campuses execute the same winning formula
- Budget + change‑order sheriff – partner with Finance to catch scope creep, value‑engineer solutions, and keep variance < 5 %
- Org-builder – diagnose talent gaps, architect the org chart, hire and coach high-leverage operators
- Safety & compliance champion – ensure standards and obligations are baked into daily work plans
Our take
Methane, that is mostly generated by flaring in the oil and gas industry, is a major contributor to global warming - as are the carbon emissions produced by global computing (especially bitcoin mining.) Crusoe Energy Systems reduces flaring, and repurposes waste natural gas into energy for these processes, thus removing methane from the atmosphere and simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint of computing.
Crusoe's mobile data centers can be deployed to generate power from methane waste at its source. As well as its patented Digital Flare Mitigation system, Crusoe is also working to enable alternative revenue streams for renewable and clean energy projects, with the ultimate aim to run data centers on renewable energy.
The company has connections with Kraken Oil & Gas, Devon Energy, Enerplus, and more; and its computing power is used by institutes such as MIT. The rising pressure to take action on climate change, coupled with the need for high-energy computing as more infrastructure moves online, has placed it in a massive industry. With the capability of its systems to reduce the equivalent of 8,000 tonnes per year of CO2 and 2023 debt financing amounting to $200 million in investment, Crusoe Energy Systems is well positioned to make an impact and drive for further success.
