Manager, Modular Building Programs (MFG) at Crusoe · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Join our team as the Manager of Modular Building Programs and take ownership of the project management function for our entire modular product sector including Spark Modular Data Center units and Power Distribution Center (PDC) buildings. You will own the portfolio schedule, the delivery commitment to hyperscale customers, and the growth of the project managers executing the work.
This is a working leadership role. You'll manage a small team of project managers while personally carrying the hardest programs, the toughest customer conversations, and the cross-functional escalations your team cannot resolve on their own. You are the connective tissue between the PMO, the plant floor, Engineering, and Supply Chain for everything modular.
Your work directly impacts our ability to deploy modular data center buildings to compute from sustainable, renewable and/or stranded energy sources. Success here is measured in throughput and predictability: more units out the door, on the date we committed, at the margin we quoted.
We are seeking an experienced people leader with a proven background in construction, engineering, and/or manufacturing, a strategic mindset, and the operational discipline to scale a product line through rapid growth. This is a full-time position. (#INDMFG)
What You’ll Be Working On:
Modular Portfolio Ownership: Own the consolidated schedule across Spark MDC and PDC building programs, including capacity with Production planning and plant operations.
Team Leadership and Mentorship: Lead, coach, and develop a team of project managers. Set the standard for schedule quality, change discipline, cost accuracy, and customer communication — and hold the team to it.
Customer Relationship Management and Development: Serve as the senior escalation point for modular customers, including executive-level schedule impact and change negotiation discussions. Become the go-to solution for customer needs and build strong, repeatable relationships that outlast any single program.
Capacity and Production Planning: Partner with Manufacturing Operations & Production Planning on line loading, takt-time alignment, labor forecasting, and bottleneck resolution across the modular build area.
Strategic Change & Risk Management: Govern the engineering change process for modular products. Enforce impact analysis, pricing discipline, and customer approval before anything reaches the floor. Maintain the portfolio risk register and drive mitigation across engineering, supply chain, and production constraints.
Program Economics and Target Accountability: Set the margin and cost targets for each modular program at baseline, and own delivery against them through close-out. Partner with Project Controls in a standing monthly economics review where you jointly validate the cost-to-complete position — Project Controls owns the model, you own the operational assumptions inside it: hours remaining, change order capture, schedule position, and material exposure. Sign the forecast you submit. When a program drifts off target, bring the variance, the root cause, and a recovery plan to the same review rather than waiting for it to surface in the roll-up.
Process Improvement & Standardization: Drive standardization across configurations — build repeatable schedule templates, WBS structures, budget templates and close-out packages that reduce per-unit PM overhead.
