Sourcing Manager, Contractors & Site Services ABOUT FLUIDSTACK At Fluidstack, we’re building the infrastructure for abundant intelligence. We partner with top AI labs, governments, and enterprises - including Mistral, Poolside, Black Forest Labs, Meta, and more - to unlock compute at the speed of light. We’re working with urgency to make AGI a reality. As such, our team is highly motivated and committed to delivering world-class infrastructure. We treat our customers’ outcomes as our own, taking pride in the systems we build and the trust we earn. If you’re motivated by purpose, obsessed with excellence, and ready to work very hard to accelerate the future of intelligence, join us in building what's next. About the Role Fluidstack is deploying AI infrastructure at hyperscale pace across multiple sites in multiple states. That buildout depends on a dense, highly-skilled workforce: low voltage electricians, CDU installation and maintenance technicians, facility operations staff, physical security, and dozens of other specialized trades. Keeping that workforce deployed, qualified, and productive requires a sourcing function that builds deep relationships with contractors and tradespeople.

This spans contract labor sourcing from regional trade unions and national staffing firms, site amenity and support services procurement (hotels, food, transportation, PPE), contract-to-hire pipeline management in partnership with Recruiting, and workforce development programs that build trades capacity in the communities where we operate. You'll work closely with DC Ops, Construction, and Finance to ensure labor supply keeps pace with our deployment roadmap.
