Project manager jobs in Austin, TX

About the role

This role is responsible for the full project lifecycle — from design coordination through construction closeout — with direct accountability for schedule, budget, and scope performance. The position operates within the Infrastructure & Development team and manages external project stakeholders including general contractors, architects, engineers of record, and specialty consultants. The Construction Project Manager does not perform field construction work directly; instead, they are responsible for contractor oversight, design management, and ensuring project delivery meets Base Power's operational and business requirements. This role requires strong technical judgment, disciplined project controls, and the ability to communicate complex construction issues clearly to internal leadership and cross-functional teams. The Infrastructure & Development team is responsible for the planning, execution, and delivery of all capital construction projects required for Base Power to operate and scale. The team manages a portfolio that currently includes factory renovation, new factory construction, and office headquarters development, functioning as the owner's representative across all active projects.
