Director of Construction | Mission-Critical Data Centers

Philadelphia / Mid-Atlantic | Confidential Client

Build the digital backbone of the economy with a company that puts substance over form.

Valor Front Executive Search has been exclusively retained to identify a Director of Construction for a fully integrated builder, owner, and operator of mission-critical data centers with a multi-billion-dollar active development pipeline across the Mid-Atlantic region.

About Our Client

Our client is a mission-critical data center developer founded in the early days of wholesale / hyperscale development and still led by its founders. The company's mission is construction-centric : align best-in-class infrastructure, engineering, construction, and operations to sustain secure, uninterrupted power, cooling, and connectivity for the world's most quality-sensitive customers.

With recent announcements of $4B+ in new large-scale developments across New Jersey and Virginia—plus a growing Mid-Atlantic and national pre-development pipeline—the company has strong momentum and a long runway for senior construction leadership to make a visible impact.
