A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with
cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.
As an Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Program Manager, you will act as a multiplier for Google’s Partnered Delivery and Offsite (PDO) construction portfolio in the Texas region. You will lead the 'Owner Oversight' program for a complex and large portfolio of data center developments under absolute net lease structures. In this role, you will manage ambiguous cross-functional issues and drive safety interventions to mitigate high-energy electrical, and mechanical risks in addition to traditional construction risk and compliance. You will serve as the primary EHS authority representative of Google for these developer-led projects, bridging the gap between site delivery and long-term operational safety while preserving Google’s liability shield.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $159,000-$231,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
