Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the world’s most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. Today, that means building infrastructure for AI at a pace and scale without precedent. Tomorrow, it could mean powering a new era of innovation through robotics, advanced manufacturing, or an industry that does not yet exist. Whatever the technology demands, our ambition holds: to build the defining physical infrastructure company of our generation.

We look for thinkers and builders with the rigor, humility, and ownership to solve problems at this scale. They start from zero and choose truth over tradition. They back the best idea, whatever its source. They bet on themselves and embrace the hard truths that force them to grow. Our commitment is to keep the path from idea to execution short, trust them with critical decisions and the work that follows, and surround them with colleagues whose curiosity extends beyond their expertise.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Skilled trade labor is one of the hardest things to secure on a data center build. This Sourcing Manager owns how Hut 8 finds, qualifies, and contracts the subcontractors that do the work in the field, such as mechanical, electrical, and civil subcontractors, so trade providers show up per the schedule needs, deliver the contracted scope at optimal cost.

The Sourcing Manager works cross-functionally with Construction, Engineering, Finance/AP, Legal, and Operations to lock in subtrade capacity early and minimize commercial and execution risk across capital projects.

Some of the responsibilities you can expect include the following:

Build a subtrade sourcing plan for each site, including package strategy, target bidders, and a buyout schedule tied to the construction schedule

Map and prequalify subtrade partners in each market on capacity , safety record (EMR, TRIR, OSHA history), bonding, financial health, manpower, and project history

Write scope sheets, run competitive bids, and level bids to close scope gaps before award

Negotiate subcontracts, labor and unit rates, escalation, and manpower commitments, and put program agreements in place with proven partners

Track trade capacity and competing projects, identifying early risk indicators and escalating before they affect the schedule

Review change orders, T&M tickets, and claims for merit and price, and keep payments aligned with contractual milestones

Score subtrade partners after each project and recommend improvements that reduce risk and improve cash flow timing

ABOUT YOU

Bachelor's degree in construction management, Supply Chain, Engineering, or related field preferred (equivalent experience considered)

5+ years of experience in subcontract buyout, procurement, or contracts management on large capital projects

Demonstrated experience leveling trade bids and negotiating subcontracts across multiple trade scopes

Able to read drawings and specifications well enough to write a scope sheet and catch a scope gap

Working knowledge of trade labor markets, including union and open shop dynamics

Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving infrastructure or industrial environment

Preferred: Data center or mission critical project experience; buyout experience on the general contractor side; experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Odoo)
