About the role

Project Manager - Data Centers/Mission Critical
Position Overview: Experienced Project Manager to lead design and construction of hyperscale and industrial data center and mission-critical facilities, including ground-up builds and semiconductor fabs. Responsible for delivering projects on schedule, within budget, and to stringent quality, safety, and CSA compliance standards while coordinating MEP systems, construction teams, and cross-functional stakeholders. Significant travel will be required to project sites.
Key Responsibilities: Lead end-to-end project delivery for ground-up data center, hyperscale, industrial, and semiconductor facilities from planning through commissioning and closeout. Manage project scope, schedule, budget, and risk; develop and maintain integrated project schedules and cost forecasts. Coordinate design and construction of critical MEP systems (power, UPS, cooling, fire protection, HVAC) and ensure seamless integration with facility infrastructure. Ensure projects meet mission-critical requirements and industry standards, including CSA compliance and other applicable codes and regulations. Oversee contractors, vendors, and commissioning teams; manage procurement, contracts, and change orders. Drive quality assurance and control processes, conduct site inspections, and enforce construction safety protocols. Facilitate cross-functional communication among engineering, operations, clients, and stakeholders; present regular status reports and executive updates. Implement lessons learned, continuous improvement, and value engineering to optimize performance and cost. Manage on-site travel and presence as required for construction phases, critical milestones, and commissioning activities. Coordinate with semiconductor-specific teams to meet fab-level cleanroom, mechanical, and electrical requirements where applicable.
Qualifications: Bachelors degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field; advanced degree preferred. Minimum 8+ years of project management experience leading data center, mission-critical, hyperscale, industrial, or semiconductor construction projects, including ground-up builds. Demonstrated expertise in MEP systems design, installation, and commissioning for high-availability facilities. Proven track record with hyperscale and industrial data center delivery and familiarity with semiconductor facility requirements. Strong knowledge of CSA standards, local building codes, and applicable industry regulations. Experience managing construction contracts, procurement, budgets, and change management. Relevant certifications such as PMP, PE, or Certified Commissioning Specialist are highly desirable. Excellent leadership, communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills. Willingness and ability to travel frequently to project sites and work in field environments. Familiarity with construction safety practices, quality control, and commissioning processes for mission-critical facilities.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
