Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Technical Program Managers (TPMs) who drive complex infrastructure programs across engineering, construction, commissioning, and operations — owning the cross-functional schedule, the risk register, and the stakeholder map for data center, energy, and advanced manufacturing owners. Delivered-program history verified.
A structured process for the hire that keeps a technical program moving across teams that don’t report to it — where a weak TPM produces status theater and a strong one produces decisions.
30-minute call. Align on program domain (site delivery, power, network, fleet initiatives), stakeholder map, technical depth required, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 TPMs with delivered infrastructure programs at comparable scale and ambiguity. References from prior program sponsors included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Infrastructure TPMs are not software TPMs with a hard hat. The role demands enough engineering depth to challenge a one-line diagram or a commissioning sequence, plus the program mechanics to run gates, risks, and escalations across owner, GC, and utility stakeholders.
Every TPM has verified domain depth — electrical/mechanical infrastructure, controls, or network/fiber — strong enough to interrogate engineering decisions, not just track them.
Reference-verified gates, risk registers, dependency management, and escalation discipline on programs spanning engineering through operations.
Reference-verified delivery through teams the TPM did not manage — GC partners, utilities, internal engineering, and operations — the actual job description.
Below is what every candidate has documented before you meet them:
Named programs with verified scope, budget, and outcome — site delivery, power, network, or fleet-wide initiatives.
Electrical, mechanical, controls, or network depth verified through technical references, not resume keywords.
Reference-verified management of owner executives, GCs, utilities, and AHJs — including honest escalation when dates break.
P6 or MS Project fluency, risk registers, dependency tracking, and executive reporting artifacts reviewed.
PMP common; PE, PgMP, or CDCP/CDCE where role-relevant. Delivered programs remain the primary credential.
TPM, Senior TPM, and Principal-track comp bands (including hyperscaler equity) aligned before finalists.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — domain depth, stakeholder map, and program mechanics required.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks. Infrastructure TPMs with real domain depth are among the most competed-for profiles we place.
US base salaries typically run $150k–$210k, with Senior/Principal TPMs at hyperscalers and utilities at $190k–$250k+ base; total compensation with bonus and equity at cloud operators frequently clears $300k. We confirm current bands for your market during scoping.
A Capital Program Manager owns the funding gates and the capital plan. A TPM drives a technical program across functions — engineering decisions, dependencies, and delivery cadence — often within or alongside that capital framework. Large owners typically need both.
Both, and the best profiles blend them: hyperscaler TPM alumni with real electrical/mechanical depth, or construction and commissioning leaders who learned program mechanics owner-side. We verify the blend your program actually needs.
Yes. Every Technical Program Manager placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.
Yes. Multi-hire TPM builds (regional TPMs, domain TPMs, program analysts) route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the TPM role you need, program domain, stakeholder map, and technical depth — then recommend the right hire path and start sourcing.
