Senior Project Controls Estimator

Why join Giga The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here. The Impact : Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship. The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more. The Moment : AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening. What You'll Do As a Senior Project Controls Manager at Giga, you'll sit at the intersection of Finance and Construction — turning raw project data into the financial clarity our leadership needs to make fast, confident decisions. You're not just tracking budgets; you're building the systems, forecasts, and controls that tell us exactly where every dollar is going across a portfolio of large-scale infrastructure projects. In a company moving at Giga's speed, the ability to surface accurate cost and schedule intelligence in real time isn't nice to have — it's a competitive advantage. You'll own this function with autonomy, build structure in a high-growth environment, and work directly alongside Engineering, Construction, and Finance leaders to keep our projects on track and on budget. Where You'll Work We're onsite because velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure. Solving complex problems in real-time with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Finance leaders is how we move faster than a slow, antiquated industry. We will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent outside our hubs — if you're the right person, we'll have that conversation. Responsibilities Own cost control and forecasting across a portfolio of capital construction projects — including budget development, commitment tracking, cost-to-complete forecasting, and variance analysis. Build and maintain integrated project schedules in collaboration with Engineering and Construction teams; monitor progress, identify critical path risks, and communicate schedule impacts to leadership. Develop and maintain earned value management (EVM) reporting to provide real-time visibility into project performance against cost and schedule baselines. Produce weekly and monthly project controls reports for Finance and executive leadership, translating complex data into clear, actionable narratives. Manage change control processes: track change orders, assess cost and schedule impacts, and ensure all changes are documented and reflected in updated baselines. Partner with Procurement and Accounts Payable to ensure contractor invoices, purchase orders, and accruals are accurately coded and aligned with project budgets. Identify trends, risks, and opportunities across the project portfolio; proactively surface issues before they become cost or schedule overruns. Improve and standardize project controls tools, templates, and processes across Giga's growing project portfolio. Requirements 5+ years of project controls experience on large capital projects in energy, construction, infrastructure, utilities, or industrial sectors. Proficiency in cost management and scheduling tools (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or equivalent) and advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills. Strong understanding of earned value management principles and their application to capital project reporting. Demonstrated experience developing cost forecasts, managing change control, and producing executive-level project performance reports. Ability to work across Engineering, Construction, and Finance stakeholders — translating technical project data into financial language and vice versa. High degree of analytical rigor with the ability to manage large, complex datasets with accuracy. Strong communicator who can present financial and schedule risk clearly and concisely to senior leadership. Bonus Points Experience in utility-scale power generation, high-voltage electrical infrastructure, or data center construction. Familiarity with AACE International cost engineering standards or similar frameworks. Experience standing up a project controls function from early-stage startup or greenfield environment. Exposure to ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP) and their integration with project cost tracking. Background in Finance, Accounting, or Engineering in addition to project controls experience. Benefits Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup 401(k) with 4% employer match Unlimited PTO Parental leave Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) Commuter benefits Monthly team onsites where all offices come in-person to collaborate Who we hire We hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
