Project Executive

Project Executive
(International Construction | Data Centers & Infrastructure)
Pernix International

The Opportunity
Pernix International (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=1) is seeking a world-class Project Executive to lead the delivery of complex, high-value construction programs across international markets, with a focus on mission-critical data centers and large-scale infrastructure.

This is not a traditional project role. This is a strategic leadership position for a builder-operator—someone who can seamlessly move between boardroom strategy and field execution, drive performance across regions, and elevate both people and projects.

You will play a critical role in shaping how Pernix executes globally, influencing operational excellence, client partnerships, and long-term growth.



What You’ll Own

Global Project Leadership
    •    Provide executive oversight across multiple concurrent projects and programs spanning diverse geographies.
    •    Ensure delivery excellence across schedule, budget, safety, and quality—without compromise.
    •    Act as the connective tissue between corporate strategy and on-the-ground execution.

International Execution
    •    Lead projects across complex international environments, navigating regulatory frameworks, cultural nuances, and logistical challenges.
    •    Establish scalable operating models that perform consistently across regions.

Mission-Critical Expertise
    •    Oversee delivery of data centers and critical infrastructure (power, utilities, civil, transportation).
    •    Ensure alignment with high-availability, uptime, and technical performance standards expected in mission-critical environments.

Client Leadership
    •    Serve as the executive face of Pernix to key clients and stakeholders.
    •    Build long-term partnerships rooted in trust, delivery, and strategic value—not just project completion.

Financial Performance
    •    Own full P&L performance across projects and programs.
    •    Drive disciplined execution of budgets, forecasts, cost controls, and margin optimization.

Strategic Growth & Market Expansion
    •    Partner with leadership on pursuits, business development, and international expansion strategy.
    •    Contribute to winning work in emerging and high-growth markets, particularly in infrastructure and data centers.

Risk & Governance
    •    Proactively identify and mitigate operational, financial, legal, and safety risks.
    •    Ensure adherence to global standards, local regulations, and Pernix governance frameworks.

Leadership & Culture
    •    Mentor and elevate senior project managers and regional leaders.
    •    Build high-performing, accountable teams across multinational environments.
    •    Champion a culture of ownership, execution, and continuous improvement.



What You Bring
    •    15+ years of progressive construction experience, with 5–7+ years in senior leadership roles.
    •    Proven success delivering large-scale international construction projects.
    •    Deep experience in data centers, mission-critical environments, and/or major infrastructure programs.
    •    Ability to operate as a true generalist leader across project types, delivery models, and geographies.
    •    Strong command of delivery methods (Design-Build, EPC, CMAR).
    •    Demonstrated success managing large P&Ls and complex financial structures.
    •    Exceptional ability to influence, align, and lead senior stakeholders and global teams.
    •    Willingness and ability to travel internationally as required.



What Sets You Apart
    •    Experience working in emerging markets or highly complex regulatory environments.
    •    Strong understanding of mission-critical systems and uptime-driven delivery.
    •    Multilingual capabilities and cross-cultural fluency.
    •    Advanced expertise in contract negotiation, claims management, and commercial strategy.



Leadership Profile

You are:
    •    A strategic thinker who sees around corners
    •    A global operator who adapts quickly across environments
    •    A decisive leader who drives outcomes
    •    A trusted partner to clients and executives
    •    A builder of people, not just projects



Location & Travel

This role can be based in a corporate or regional hub, with frequent international travel required. You must be comfortable operating across time zones, cultures, and fast-moving project environments.



Compensation

Pernix offers a competitive executive compensation package, including:
    •    Base salary

    •    Long-term incentives
