Job description
Nexus is hiring a Field Engineering Manager to support the natural gas power generation and central utility plant scope at the Hubbard data center campus. This role provides field engineering leadership across construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, and turnover for the power block and associated utility systems on site. You will work directly with EPC and multi-prime contractors on site, resolve field engineering issues in real time, and drive systems toward ready-for-operations handover on an aggressive, fixed schedule.
This is a hands-on, on-site leadership role for someone who has run field engineering on large industrial, power generation, or petrochemical projects and wants to bring that discipline to a build-out measured in gigawatts, not megawatts.
What You'll Do
Provide day-to-day field engineering leadership for gas turbine generation, power block, and central utility plant systems during construction and pre-commissioning.
Interface directly with EPC and multi-prime contractors on site to resolve design and constructability issues, RFIs, and field deviations without delay.
Drive mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation & controls scope through construction completion, system turnover, and commissioning readiness.
Support turnaround-style planning discipline: scope definition, contractor coordination, safety, logistics, and materials readiness for major system milestones.
Coordinate with third-party commissioning and operations teams already on site to ensure a clean, well-documented handover from construction to operations.
Track and report field progress, quality, and technical risk to project leadership, escalating issues before they affect the schedule.
Uphold site safety standards and support a construction culture with real ownership and real accountability.
What You Bring
10+ years of field engineering, project engineering, or construction/commissioning management experience on large-scale power generation, petrochemical, or industrial capital projects.
5+ years of hyperscale data center construction experience is preferred but not required.
Direct experience with power block, gas turbine, or combined-cycle power generation systems, or major utility/BOP systems on a comparable industrial project.
Track record of leading field engineering through construction turnover, pre-commissioning, and commissioning to startup readiness.
Comfort working directly with EPC and multi-prime contractors in a fast-moving, decision-in-hours field environment.
Working knowledge across mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation & controls disciplines.
B.S. in Engineering (or equivalent experience); relevant military technical background is a plus.
Willingness to work on site full-time in Hill County, Texas.
Why Nexus
Nexus Data Centers is building the infrastructure behind the next generation of computing, at a scale and pace few companies in this industry can match.

It's a chance to apply decades of hard-won field discipline to one of the most in-demand infrastructure sectors today, on a project built to run for years to come.
