About The Role
Volta is building a global portfolio of AI infrastructure at a pace and scale few companies have attempted – billions of dollars of capital deployed across data centers, power infrastructure, and compute clusters on multiple continents. Keeping that portfolio on time, on budget, and on plan is mission-critical, and that's where you come in.
As VP, Project Controls Function Manager, you will own the systems, standards, and team that give Volta's leadership a clear, real-time view of cost, schedule, and risk across every active project. You will report directly to the CDO and act as a trusted advisor on capital deployment and delivery risk, translating complex, multi-site programs into clear decisions for the executive team and the Board.
This is a build-it-yourself mandate: you'll stand up scalable project controls processes and tooling from the ground up, and build the team that will run them as Volta's footprint continues to grow.
