Job description
Bold infrastructure doesn’t build itself. It takes people who understand how to take complex, high-stakes projects from concept to reality—without losing control of cost, schedule, or quality.

We’re looking for a

Program Manager

to lead the design and construction of

high-density, mission-critical data center infrastructure

across multiple sites in Canada on behalf of our client. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who thrives in complex build environments and knows how to bring together engineering, construction, vendors, and utilities to deliver at scale.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Lead full‑lifecycle delivery of data center builds—from design through construction, commissioning, and handover

Drive program execution across multiple sites, ensuring alignment on scope, schedule, budget, and risk

Partner with engineering teams on MEP systems, power distribution, and cooling strategies (including high‑density and liquid cooling environments)

Manage contractors, consultants, and vendors to ensure quality, accountability, and performance

Coordinate with utilities on capacity planning, infrastructure upgrades, and expansion requests

Build and maintain detailed project schedules (MS Project) tied to construction milestones

Own capex forecasting, including cost tracking, cash flow alignment, and variance reporting

Develop clear, executive-level reporting on project status, risks, and performance

What You Bring

10+ years of experience in construction or program management within data centers or similar critical infrastructure/mission critical facilities and environments

Strong understanding of power, cooling, and MEP systems in complex builds

Proven ability to manage large‑scale, design‑build projects with multiple stakeholders

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Project for scheduling, tracking, and reporting

Hands‑on experience with capex budgeting, forecasting, and cost control

Experience working with utilities and infrastructure planning (power, upgrades, capacity requests)

Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and able to manage complex information without losing accuracy

Strong communicator who can translate technical detail into clear executive updates

What Makes You Effective

You take ownership and operate with a high level of autonomy

You’re proactive; you don’t wait for problems to surface

You’re comfortable in fast‑paced, evolving environments with multiple priorities

You influence across teams without relying on formal authority

You bring structure, clarity, and discipline to complex programs

Primary focus on projects in Ontario (Toronto & London), with visibility across Alberta

Location flexibility may be considered for the right candidate

This is a senior‑level, individual contributor role reporting into the executive level, with significant cross‑functional leadership

If you’ve led complex infrastructure builds and know how to manage both the technical and commercial sides of delivery, this is an opportunity to take ownership of high-impact projects in a rapidly growing environment.
