About Overwatch Construction
Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the national veterans business development council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor for the mission-critical infrastructure industry.
Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's purpose.

Key Responsibilities
  • Daily Logs: Create an unfiltered write up. Focus on the events of the day, including construction items, team interactions, accomplishments, and potential issues. At a minimum, Daily Logs shall have dedicated sections for:
  • Each infrastructure tracker: provide a narrative to accompany the attached tracker.
  • RFIs: provide updates that have been identified by the Sr CM.
  • Submittals: provide updates that have been identified by the Sr CM
  • Change Orders: provide updates that have been identified by the Sr CM
  • General section for all other topics, to include issues that need to be escalated.

    • Daily Photos: Each day take up to 200 photos of work in progress from the site using Procore’s photo tool.
    • Daily Infrastructure Trackers: Each day, update the infrastructure trackers for each trade to show progress of work. Attach the updated infrastructure trackers to the Daily Log and save in Procore.
    • Daily follow-up and responses to comments and queries on daily logs and photos. The Daily Logs, photos and infrastructure trackers are reviewed daily by the team and the design team. Frequently, reviewers will send comments and questions for the CM to investigate, act on, and/or respond to. Send responses to the requesting team or design team reviewer and save them in Procore.
    • Meeting Notes – Document notes for each meeting that takes place on the job. Not minutes – a diary to the meeting (discussion points, the tone, the impacts to the project, etc.).
    • Perform weekly Safety Audits using Procore’s inspection tool.

    Driver’s License Requirement:
    For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.

    Communication Skills:
    Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.

    Physical Requirements and Work Environment
    This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.

    The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.

    Physical Requirements:
    • Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain.
    • Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis.
    • Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces.
    • Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors.
    • Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments.
    • Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required.
    • Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity.

    Work Environment:
    Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.

    Reasonable Accommodation:
    Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.

    Benefits:
    We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off. Relocation assistance is available to support candidates transitioning to the location.

    OVERWATCH is committed to creating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. OVERWATCH considers candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.
