Job description

We are an emerging AI infrastructure start-up building next-generation data centres and high-performance compute environments to power AI, LLM training, and cloud-scale workloads, powered by renewable energy, rooted in sovereign capability, and designed to give enterprises and innovators the compute they need. Backed by leading investors, we are rapidly expanding our site development pipeline, engineering capabilities, and commercial partnerships.

We are seeking a highly adaptable and proactive Project Manager to drive fast-moving, cross-functional initiatives across our hyperscale data centre portfolio. This role requires someone who thrives in complex, ambiguous environments, operates with urgency, and loves stepping in as the “un-blocker” to keep critical workstreams moving forward.

You will work across three core domains, Land & Energy Development, Public Policy, and Data Centre Delivery, coordinating diverse stakeholders, ensuring tight timelines are met, and supporting both internal and external partnerships. This is an agnostic, multi-disciplinary role suited to a creative problem-solver with exceptional organisational skills and the ability to manage parallel priorities at speed.

Key Responsibilities:

Land & Energy Development:

• Support site identification, acquisition activities, and early-stage development planning.
• Manage energy development workflows including power studies, permitting processes, and engagement with utilities.
• Coordinate technical evaluations, environmental reviews, and local approvals.
• Partner with engineering and design teams to track requirements and remove blockers.
• Maintain momentum across all pre-construction workflows, ensuring “domino pieces” progress on schedule.

Public Policy & Government Affairs:

• Engage with government bodies at local, regional, and national levels to support project approvals, compliance, and community alignment.
• Work with communications and public affairs teams to coordinate messaging, outreach, and stakeholder updates.
• Support press and media interactions as needed, ensuring consistent and accurate representation of project objectives.
• Facilitate community engagement initiatives, addressing concerns and building positive relationships with local stakeholders.
• Manage cross-functional project schedules, deliverables, and status updates across technical, design, and construction teams.
• Coordinate with hyperscale customers, tech partners, and internal product teams.
• Provide timely, concise updates to leadership and partner teams.
• Anticipate roadblocks and proactively resolve issues to keep timelines intact.
• Support readiness across planning, engineering, and deployment cycles.

Skills & Experience Required:

• Experience across land development, public affairs, energy planning, technology projects, or infrastructure.
• A real passion for project management and comfort juggling multiple fast-moving workstreams.
• Strong ability to operate without perfect information and drive clarity across ambiguous tasks.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort interfacing with senior government officials, community groups, and technical stakeholders.
• Creative problem-solving mindset with the ability to identify and implement practical solutions.
• High level of organisation, urgency, and follow-through.

Why This Role Matters:

This role sits at the centre of one of the fastest growing segments of the digital infrastructure industry. You will help shape the trajectory of hyperscale data centre development by aligning government, community, technical, and commercial priorities, enabling the successful delivery of some of the most critical infrastructure projects in the world.

Beyond the scale and complexity of the work, this role also carries a meaningful community impact. We are committed to achieving the triple bottom line balancing economic performance with social responsibility and environmental stewardship. For those motivated by purpose as much as performance, this is a place to work hard, make a real difference, and give back.

Why Join Carbon3.ai:

You’ll be joining a mission-driven start-up building critical national infrastructure, where operational excellence directly enables growth. This role offers high visibility with leadership, real autonomy, and the chance to shape how a next-generation company operates at scale.
